Converter Clutch Regulator Valve
The converter clutch regulator valve regulates the pres-
sure of the oil which applies the converter clutch. Input
oil from the line 500 circuit is regulated within the valve,
with the output pressure being variable according to
the signal pressure from the S5 circuit. Converter clutch
apply and release application is smoothed by
electronically varying the S5 circuit pressure.
Converter Clutch Control Valve
The converter clutch control valve is a two position
valve which applies or releases the converter clutch.
The switching of this valve is governed by the signal
pressure from S7.
When the valve is in the OFF or released position, con-
verter feed oil from the PRV is directed to the release
side of the converter clutch. After flowing through the
converter, oil returns to the converter clutch control
valve and is then directed to the oil cooler.
When the valve is in the ON or applied position, regu-
lated oil from the converter clutch regulator valve is
directed to the apply side of the converter clutch. This
oil remains within the converter because the converter
clutch piston is sealed against the flat friction surface
of the converter cover. To provide oil flow to the cooler
the converter clutch control valve directs converter feed
oil from the PRV directly to the cooler circuit.B1R Exhaust Valve
The B1R exhaust valve is a two position spring loaded
valve located in the transmission case directly adjacent
to the front servo. It permits the servo release oil to be
rapidly exhausted into the transmission case during
application of the front band (B1). This prevents the
need to force the oil back from the front servo through
the valve body and through the 3-4 shift valve. The
spring positions the valve to prevent oil entering the
release area of the servo until the B1R circuit oil
pressure reaches approximately 100 kPa.
POWER TRAIN SYSTEM
The Power Train System consists of;
A torque converter with single face lock-up clutch
Four multi-plate clutch assemblies
Two brake bands
Two one-way clutches
Planetary gear set
Parking mechanism
A conventional six pinion Ravigneaux compound plane-
tary gear set is used with overdrive (fourth gear) being
obtained by driving the carrier.
The cross-sectional arrangement is very modular in
nature.
Four main sub-assemblies are installed within the case
to complete the build. These subassemblies are;

Power Flow - Park and Neutral
In Park and Neutral, there is no drive to the planetary
gear set. The rear band is applied to eliminate ‘clunk’
on engagement of the reverse gear, and to improve
the low range engagement for 4WD applications. No
other clutches or bands are applied.
In Park the transmission is mechanically locked by
engaging a case mounted pawl with teeth on the output
shaft ring gear.
Control
To maintain this arrangement in the steady state sole-
noids and valves are activated as follows:
Solenoids S1 and S2 are switched OFF.
Line (pump) pressure is applied to the Primary Regu-
lator Valve (PRV) and to the solenoid supply
pressure regulator valve.
The converter, oil cooler, and lubrication circuits are
charged from the primary regulator valve.
The line 500 circuit is charged by the solenoid
supply pressure regulator valve.
The S5 circuit is charged by the variable pressure
solenoid (S5).
Line pressure is prevented from entering the drive
circuit by the manual valve.
The B1 circuit and all clutch circuits are open to ex-
haust.

and the forward clutch cylinder to the hub of the C3
clutch. The elements of the transmission function as
follows;
The C3 clutch is engaged and drives the reverse
sun gear in a clock-wise direction.
The B2 band is engaged and holds the planetary
gear carrier stationary causing the long pinion to
rotate anti-clockwise about its axis on the pinion
shaft.
The long pinion drives the internal ring gear in the
same direction.
The internal ring being splined to the output shaft
drives it in an anti-clockwise or reverse direction.Control
To maintain this arrangement in the steady state sole-
noids and valves are activated as follows;
Solenoids S1 and S2 are switched OFF.
Line pressure is directed through the reverse lockout
valve to both the inner and outer apply areas of the
rear servo piston for B2 band application.
Line pressure feeds the reverse oil circuit via the
manual valve.
Reverse oil is routed from the manual valve to the
C3 clutch.
Reverse oil is also applied to the spring end of the
primary regulator valve to assist the spring and to
boost the line pressure value.
All other clutch and band apply circuits are open to
exhaust.

Power Flow - Drive 2 and Manual 2
In Drive 2 and Manual 2, transmission drive is via the
input shaft and forward clutch cylinder. The elements
of the transmission function as follows;
The C2 clutch is applied to drive the forward sun
gear.
The forward sun gear drives the short pinion anti-
clockwise.
The short pinion drives the long pinion clockwise.
The B1 band is applied holding the reverse sun
gear stationary therefore the long pinion walks
around the reverse sun gear taking the internal ring
gear and output shaft with it in a clockwise or
forward direction.
The C4 clutch is applied to bypass the 3-4 OWC
and provide engine braking on overrun.
Control
To maintain this arrangement in the steady state sole-
noids and valves are activated as follows;
Solenoid S1 is switched OFF. S2 is switched ON.
Drive (line pressure) oil from the manual valve en-
gages the C2 clutch.
When S1 switches OFF, S1 oil pressure, which is
derived from line 500 pressure, moves the 3-4 shift
valve to the left. At the same time S1 oil is directed
to the 1-2 shift valve which moves the valve to the
second gear position.
2nd oil (line pressure) from the 1-2 shift valve is di-
rected to the band apply regulator valve, and to
the 2-3 shift valve.
The band apply feed regulator valve supplies 2nd
oil (regulated to line pressure multiplied by the valve
ratio) to the Band Apply Feed (BAF) circuit.
Band apply feed oil is directed to;
- The outer apply area of the front servo
- The 1-2 shift valve to provide an exhaust port
when the transmission is shifted to first gear
- The 3-4 shift valve for use when the transmission
is shifted into fourth gear
Drive (line pressure) is routed through the 3-4 shift
valve to apply the C4 clutch.

Power Flow - Drive 3 and Manual 3
In Drive 2 and Manual 2, transmission drive is via the
input shaft and forward clutch cylinder. The elements
of the transmission function as follows;
The C2 clutch is engaged to drive the forward sun
gear.
The C1 clutch is engaged to drive the planet carrier.
The short pinion drives the long pinion clockwise.
The forward sun gear and the planet carrier are driv-
en clockwise at the same speed therefore there is
no relative motion between the sun gear and the
pinions.
The ring gear and output shaft are driven in a clock-
wise or forward direction at input shaft speed.
The C4 clutch is applied to bypass the 3-4 OWC
and provide engine braking on overrun.
Control
To maintain this arrangement in the steady state sole-
noids and valves are activated as follows:
Solenoid S1 is switched OFF. S2 is switched OFF.
With S1 and S2 switched OFF, the 2-3 and 3-4 shift
valves are held in the third gear position by line
500 pressure.
The 1-2 shift valve is held in the third gear position
by S1-S2 oil pressure.
2nd oil (line pressure) from the 1-2 shift valve is di-
rected to the band apply feed regulator valve and
to the 2-3 shift valve.
The band apply feed regulator valve supplies 2nd
oil (regulated to line pressure multiplied by the valve
ra-tio) to the Band Apply Feed (BAF) circuit.
Band apply feed oil is directed to;
- The outer apply area of the front servo
- The 1-2 shift valve to provide an exhaust port
when the transmission is shifted to first gear
- The 3-4 shift valve for use when the transmission
is shifted into fourth gear
2nd oil at the 2-3 shift valve is directed to the 3rd
oil circuit.
3rd oil from the 2-3 shift valve is directed to the
clutch apply regulator valve, and to the 4-3
sequence valve.
The clutch apply regulator valve supplies oil (regu-
lated to line 500 pressure multiplied by the valve
ratio) to the Clutch Apply Feed (CAF) circuit.
The CAF oil is directed to;
- The C1clutch
- The 4-3 sequence valve
At the 4-3 sequence valve the CAF oil becomes
Band 1 Release Feed (B1R-F) oil, and is directed
through the 3-4 shift valve to the spring end of the
4-3 sequence valve, and to the release side of the
front servo piston to hold band 1 OFF.
Drive (line pressure) is routed through the 3-4 shift
valve to apply the C4 clutch.

Power Flow - Drive 3 Lock Up and Manual 3
Lock Up
In Drive 3 Lock Up and Manual 3 Lock Up, transmission
drive is the same as for Drive 3 but with the application
of the converter lock up clutch to provide positive no-
slip converter drive.
Control
Control for Drive 3 Lock Up and Manual 3 Lock Up is
the same as for Drive 3 with the addition of the
converter clutch circuit activated by solenoid S7.
When S7 is switched ON, S7 feed oil to the converter
clutch control valve is switched OFF and allowed
to exhaust through the S7 solenoid. This allows the
valve to move to the clutch engage position.
Regulated apply feed oil, drive oil at the converter
clutch regulator valve, is directed by the converter
clutch control valve to the engage side of the
converter clutch.
Converter clutch release oil is exhausted at the con-
verter clutch control valve.
Converter feed oil is re-routed by the converter clutch
control valve directly to the oil cooler and lubrication
circuit.
