Overlap Regulating Valve, Function
Operation - During the shift phase the pressure in the disengaging shift actuator is controlled depending on the
engine load (modulating pressure (p-Mod)) and the pressure in the engaging shift actuator. The regulated
pressure is inversely proportional to the transfer capacity of the activating shift actuator (regulated overlap). See
Fig. 78

lockup clutch (p-KUB) depending on the control pressure in converter lockup clutch (p-S/KUB). See Fig. 80.
Depending on the working pressure in the converter lockup clutch (p-KUB) the converter lockup clutch (KUB)
is:
Engaged
Disengaged
N slip mode
In the lower position of the converter lockup clutch regulating valve (27) lubricating oil (p-Sm) flows through
the torque converter and oil cooler (65) into the transmission (converter lockup clutch depressurized). In its
regulating position (slipping, torque converter lockup clutch pressurized), a reduced volume of lubricating oil
(p-Sm) flows through the annular passage (27a) bypassing the torque converter and passing direct through the
oil cooler (65) into the transmission. The other part of the lubricating oil (p-Sm) is led via the restrictor (a) into
the torque converter for cooling the converter lockup clutch (KUB).
