3-4 Accumulator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The fourth band fluid is also routed to the 3-4 accumulator piston. Fourth band fluid pressure moves the piston against a combination of spring force and 3-4 accumulator feed fluid pressure. This action absorbs initial fourth band fluid pressure in order to cushion the intermediate and Fourth band apply. The movement of the 3-4 accumulator piston forces some fluid out of the accumulator.
