Torque Dampener Clutch Applied

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Shift Solenoid 5

The shift solenoid 5 is energized ON, allowing line fluid to enter the Solenoid 5 signal circuit. Solenoid 5 signal fluid is then routed to the dampener bypass clutch valve.

Dampener Bypass Clutch Valve

Solenoid 5 signal fluid, at the dampener bypass clutch valve, opposes dampener bypass clutch valve spring force to supply line fluid pressure into the dampener bypass clutch fluid circuit.

Torque Damper Assembly

Line fluid is routed through orifice #12 through the damper bypass clutch valve and into the damper bypass clutch circuit. Damper bypass clutch fluid passes through the automatic transmission case and automatic transmission torque damper and differential housing and moves the torque damper bypass clutch piston against spring force to apply the automatic transmission torque damper in preparation for an engine start.
