5A-40 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Converter Clutch Regulator Valve
The converter clutch regulator valve (refer figure 3.20) regulates
the pressure 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 (refer figure 3.21) 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, converter 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, regulated 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.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 5A-41
C1 Bias Valve
The C1 bias valve (refer figure 3.22) ensures that the converter lock-up clutch is only applied in third and fourth
gears. It uses C1 clutch oil pressure as the switching signal since C1 is only applied in third and fourth gears.
Line to 500 oil is routed through the C1 bias valve to S7. The C1 bias valve therefore acts as a safety feature to
ensure drivability in the event of S7 failure.
Figure 3.22- C1 Bias Valve
B1R Exhaust Valve
The B1R exhaust valve (refer figure 3.23) 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 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 solenoids and valves are activated as follows:
lSolenoids S1 and S2 are switched off.
lLine (pump) pressure is applied to the primary regulator valve (PRV) and to the solenoid supply valve.
lThe converter, oil cooler, and lubrication circuits are charged from the primary regulator valve.
lThe line 500 circuit is charged by the solenoid supply valve.
lThe S5 circuit is charged by the variable pressure solenoid (S5).
lLine pressure is prevented from entering the drive circuit by the manual valve.
lThe B1 circuit and all clutch circuits are open to exhaust.

elements of the transmission function as follows :
lThe C3 clutch is engaged and drives the reverse sun gear in a clock-wise direction.

lThe 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
solenoids and valves are activated as follows:

servo piston for B2 band application.
lLine pressure feeds the reverse oil circuit via the manual valve.

valve.
