Intermediate (2, 6) Clutch Hydraulic Circuits

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Sable, 2008 Ford Taurus X, and 2008 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the intermediate (2, 6) clutch is applied in 2nd and 6th gear, LINE pressure from the pump is directed to the multiplex shift valve by the manual valve through the DRIVE 1 hydraulic circuit. The multiplex shift valve supplies the intermediate (2, 6) clutch regulator valve with pressure through the DRIVE 2 and CB26FD/CB1234FD hydraulic circuits. The intermediate (2, 6) clutch regulator valve is controlled by SSC and directs regulated pressure to the intermediate (2, 6) clutch through the CB26 hydraulic circuit. Regulated overdrive (4, 5, 6) clutch pressure is supplied to the intermediate (2, 6) clutch regulator valve in 6th gear to boost the SSC solenoid pressure.

When the intermediate (2, 6) clutch is released in 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th gear, CB26FD/CB1234FD pressure is supplied to the intermediate (2, 6) clutch regulator valve. Solenoid pressure is not applied to the intermediate (2, 6) clutch regulator valve and the regulator valve blocks the CB26FD/CB1234FD circuit in this position.
