The PR fluid pressure moves the valve against the spring force and fills the Lo/reverse fluid
circuit. Lo/reverse fluid is orificed (323) back to the lo overrun valve in order to assist the PR
fluid in moving the valve against the spring force. The spring force provides a time delay for the
PR fluid filling the Lo/reverse fluid circuit. The Lo/reverse fluid is routed to the inner area of the
lo and reverse clutch piston in order to increase the holding capacity of the clutch.
Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP) Manual Valve Position Switch Assembly
The TFP manual valve position switch consists of five fluid pressure switches: D2 and D3 are
normally closed and D4, Lo and Rev are normally open. All fluid circuits routed to the assembly
are empty and the TFP manual valve position switch signals the PCM that the transmission is in
either Park or Neutral.
Shift Solenoid Valves (1-2 and 2-3)
Both shift solenoid valves, which are normally open, are energized by the PCM and block fluid
from exhausting. This maintains the signal A fluid pressure at the 1-2 shift solenoid valve and
signal B fluid pressure at the 2-3 shift solenoid valve.
Shift Valves (1-2, 2-3 and 3-4)
Signal A fluid pressure holds the 1-2 shift valve in the downshift position and the 3-4 valve in the
upshift (first and fourth gear) position. The signal B fluid pressure from the 2-3 shift solenoid
valve holds the 2-3 shift valve train in the downshift position.
