Shift Accumulation

Direct Clutch Accumulator

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

In Manual Third - Third Gear, the TCC will not release if Manual Third was selected while the vehicle was operating in Overdrive Range - Fifth Gear with the TCC applied. Under normal operating conditions, the converter clutch operates the same way in Manual Third - Third Gear as in Overdrive Range - Third Gear.
