Intermediate Clutch Applies

The 2-3 SS valve is de-energized, blocking feed limit fluid from entering the 2-3 signal fluid circuit. 2-3 signal fluid pressure exhausts through the 2-3 SS valve and 2-3 shift valve spring (372) force moves the 2-3 shift valve (371) to the released position.

2345 fluid is routed through the 2-3 shift valve and enters the intermediate clutch circuit.

Intermediate clutch fluid is directed to the intermediate clutch piston to apply the intermediate clutch plates and achieve Third gear.
