Intermediate (2, 6) Clutch Hydraulic Circuits

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Line pressure is supplied to the 26 regulator valve by the manual valve in the DRIVE and LOW positions. To apply the intermediate (2, 6) clutch, SSC  supplies varying solenoid pressure to the 26 regulator and latch valves. As the 26 regulator valve moves, it supplies the intermediate (2, 6) clutch and 26 latch valve with regulated line pressure through the CB26 circuit. The 26 latch valve directs the regulated line pressure to the opposite side of the 26 regulator valve through the CB26 FDBK circuit for gradual intermediate (2, 6) clutch engagement. The intermediate (2, 6) clutch is applied in 2nd and 6th gears.

When the intermediate (2, 6) clutch is released in 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th gears and manual LOW position, solenoid pressure from SSC  is removed from the 26 regulator and latch valves which positions the valves to block line pressure and release the intermediate (2, 6) clutch. When the intermediate (2, 6) clutch is released in the PARK, REVERSE or NEUTRAL position, line pressure is not supplied to the 26 regulator valve.

In the released position, exhaust backfill supplied to the 26 clutch regulator valve by the manual valve through the EXH BF circuit is directed to the intermediate (2, 6) clutch and 26 latch valve to fill the unused circuits with unpressurized transmission fluid.
