Low-Reverse Clutch Mechanical Operation
The low/reverse clutch is a brake clutch that holds the low One-Way Clutch (OWC) which is splined to the rear planetary carrier. The low/reverse clutch is applied in manual LOW, REVERSE and 1st gear up to 8 km/h (5 mph).
Hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve, routed through the multiplex shift valve in the valve body, pushes the low/reverse clutch piston against the low/reverse clutch pack to apply the clutch. The rear planetary carrier is held stationary to the transmission case as a result of the clutch being applied.
Low-Reverse Clutch Hydraulic Circuits (Applied in REVERSE)
When the low-reverse clutch is applied in REVERSE, LINE pressure from the pump is directed to the multiplex shift valve by the manual valve through the REV hydraulic circuit to move the valve. Line pressure is also supplied to the low-reverse/overdrive clutch regulator valve from the pump. The low-reverse/overdrive clutch regulator valve is controlled by SSD and directs regulated pressure to the multiplex shift valve. The multiplex shift valve directs the regulated pressure to the low-reverse clutch through the CBLR SUPPLY circuit.
Low-Reverse Clutch Hydraulic Circuits (Applied in PARK, LOW and 1st Gear Below 8 km/h [5 mph])
When the low-reverse clutch is applied in PARK, LOW or 1st gear below 8 km/h (5 mph), SSE pressure is supplied to the multiplex shift valve to move the valve. LINE pressure is supplied to the low-reverse/overdrive clutch regulator valve from the pump. The low-reverse/overdrive clutch regulator valve is controlled by SSD and directs regulated pressure to the multiplex shift valve. The multiplex shift valve directs the regulated pressure to the low-reverse clutch through the CBLR SUPPLY circuit.
