CHECK BALLS
| CHECK BALL NUMBER | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| 1 | Allows either the manual valve to put line pressure on the 1-2 governor plug or the KD Valve to put WOT line pressure on the 1-2 governor plug. |
| 2 | Allows either the manual valve to put line pressure on the 2-3 governor plug or the KD Valve to put WOT line pressure on the 2-3 governor plug. |
| 3 | Allows either the Reverse circuit or the 3rd gear circuit to pressurize the front clutch. |
| 4 | Allows either the Manual Low circuit from the Manual Valve or the Reverse from the Manual Valve circuit to pressurize the rear servo. |
| 5 | Directs line pressure to the spring end of the 2-3 shift valve in either Manual Low or Manual 2nd, forcing the downshift to 2nd gear regardless of governor pressure. |
| 6 | Provides a by-pass around the front servo orifice so that the servo can release quickly. |
| 7 | Provides a by-pass around the rear clutch orifice so that the clutch can release quickly. |
| 8 | Directs reverse line pressure through an orifice to the throttle valve eliminating the extra leakage and insuring that Reverse line pressure will be sufficient. |
| 9 | Provides a by-pass around the rear servo orifice so that the servo can release quickly. |
| 10 | Allows the lockup clutch to used at WOT in 3rd gear by putting line pressure from the 3-4 Timing Valve on the interlock area of the 2-3 shift valve, thereby preventing a 3rd gear Lock-up to 2nd gear kickdown. |
