Direct (3, 5, R) Clutch Hydraulic Circuits 

To apply the direct (3, 5, R) clutch, the manual valve must be in the REVERSE, DRIVE, M, 2 or 1 position to provide line pressure to the direct (3, 5, R) clutch regulator valve through the R/D432 circuit.

SSB provides regulated pressure from the SF hydraulic circuit to the direct (3, 5, R) clutch regulator and latch valves through the PC2 and PC2Z hydraulic circuits to position the valves to apply the direct (3, 5, R) clutch. As the direct (3, 5, R) clutch regulator valve moves, it opens the R/D432 hydraulic circuit to the C35R circuit to supply regulated line pressure to the direct (3, 5, R) clutch cylinder. For controlled direct (3, 5, R) clutch engagement, the direct (3, 5, R) clutch latch valve directs the regulated line pressure from the C35R circuit to the opposite side of the direct (3, 5, R) clutch regulator valve through the C35RFB circuit.

The direct (3, 5, R) clutch is applied in REVERSE, 3rd and 5th gear.
