Shift Accumulation

Intermediate Clutch Accumulator:

Intermediate clutch fluid also exhausts from the intermediate clutch accumulator assembly. Accumulator fluid moves the intermediate clutch accumulator piston against accumulator spring force in preparation for another application of the intermediate clutch.

If the converter clutch was applied when Manual Second was selected it will release during downshifting. Under normal operating conditions the converter clutch will not re-apply in Second gear.
