1-2 Shift Valve
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.
IMPORTANT:
Filtered actuator feed fluid continues to feed the 1-2 signal fluid circuit through orifice #7. However, the exhaust port through the solenoid is larger than orifice #7 in order to prevent a pressure increase in the 1-2 signal fluid circuit.
With 1-2 signal fluid pressure exhausted, a spring force moves the valve into the upshifted position. Drive fluid is routed into the 2-3 drive fluid circuit. Drive fluid also continues to flow through the valve and to the A/T Fluid Pressure Manual Valve Position Switch.
