Overdrive Clutch Applies

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Manual Valve

Line pressure enters the 32 fluid circuit at the manual valve. 32 fluid is routed to the safety mode valve.

1-2 Shift Solenoid (SS) Valve

The 1-2 SS valve is energized, allowing feed limit fluid to enter the 1-2 signal fluid circuit. 1-2 signal fluid is routed to the safety mode valve and to the 3-4 shift valve.

3-4 Shift Valve

1-2 signal fluid overcomes 3-4 shift valve spring force and moves the 3-4 shift valve to the applied position. This allows D13 fluid to enter the 123 fluid circuit, and allows direct clutch and 45 fluids to exhaust.

#4 Ball Check Valve

123 fluid seats the #4 ball check valve and passes through orifice #16 on the way to the 4-5 shift valve.

4-5 Shift Valve

123 fluid passes through the 4-5 shift valve (333) into the 123 braking fluid circuit.

Low Pressure Control Valve

123 braking fluid is regulated into the 123 regulated fluid circuit through the low pressure control valve (383).

1-2 Shift Valve

123 regulated fluid passes through the 1-2 shift valve into the 23 regulated fluid circuit.

#9 and #11 Ball Check Valve

23 regulated fluid seats the #9 and the #11 ball check valves and is forced through orifices #22 and #23.

2-3 Shift Valve

23 regulated fluid passes through the 2-3 shift valve into the overdrive clutch feed 1 fluid circuit.

#12 Ball Check Valve

Overdrive clutch feed 1 fluid seats the #12 ball check valve against the overdrive clutch feed 2 passage and enters the overdrive clutch fluid circuit.

Overdrive Clutch

Overdrive clutch fluid is then directed to the overdrive clutch piston to apply the overdrive clutch plates.
