3. 3rd Gear
As the soeed of the vehicle reaches the prescribed value, shift control solenoid valve B is turned OFF by means ol the
pCM. Shift control solenoid valve A remains ON. The modulator pressure (6) flows to the right end of the 1-2 shift
valve and the left end oJ the 2-3 shift valve. The 2-3 shift valve is moved to the right side by the modulator pressure
(68). The 2-3 shift valve covers the port to stop line pressure (5) to the 2nd clutch and uncovers to the 3-4 shift valve
as the 2-3 shift valve is moved to the right side. The line pressure (5) becomes the 3rd clutch pressure (30) at the 3-4
shift valve. The 3rd clutch pressure (30) is applied to the 3rd clutch, and the 3rd clutch is engaged'
Fluid flows by way of:- Line Dressure (4) * CPB Valve - Line Pressure (5) * 1-2 Shift Valve - Line Pressure (5) * 2-3 Shift Valve
- Line Pressure (5) * 3-4 Shift Valve - 3rd Clutch Pressure (30) - 3rd Clutch
The hvdraulic pressure also flows to the 1st clutch. However, no power is transmitted because of the one-way clutch
as in 2nd gear.

4th Goar {E Position}
As the speed of the vehicle reaches the prescribed value, shift controlsolenoid valve A is turned OFF bymeans ofthePCM Shift control solenoid valve B remains oFF. The modulator pressure (6) flows to the left end of the t-2 shiftvalve and the left end of the 3-4 shift valve. The modulator pressure (64) in the left end of the 1-2 shift valve equalsthe modulator pressure {68) in the right end of the 1-2 shift valve, the 1-2 shift valve remains at left side by the ten-sion of the valve spring.
The 3-4 shift valve is moved to the right side by the modulator pressure (64). The 3_4 shift valve covers the port to the3rd clutch and uncovers the port to the 4th clutch as this valve is moved to the right side. The 4th clutch pressure (4.1)from the 3-4 shift valve becomes the 4th clutch pressure (40) at the manual valve. The 4th clutch pressure (401 isapplied to the 4th clutch, and the 4th clutch is engaged.
Fluid flows by way of:- Line pressure (4) * CPB Valve - Line Pressure (5) + 1-2 Shift Valve - Line pressure (5) * 2-3 Shift Valve- Line Pressure (5) - 3-4 Shift Valve - 4th Clutch pressure (41) + Manual Valve _ 4th Clutch pressure (40)* 4th Clutch
The hydraulic pressure also flows to the lst clutch. However, no power is transmitted because of the one-way crutchas in 2nd and 3rd gear.
NOTE: When used, "|eft" or "right,, indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.

L
E Position
The flow of fluid through the torque convefter circuit is the same as in E position The line pressure (1) changes to the
line pressure (3) and flows to the l-2 shift valve. The iine pressure (3) changes to the line pressure (3') at the 'l-2 shift valve
and flows to the servo valve. The servo valve is moved to the right side (Reverse range position) and uncovers the port to
allow line pressure {3") to the manual valve, The line pressure {3') from the 1-2 shift valve flows through the servo valve to
the manual valve and changes the 4th clutch pressure (40). The 4th clutch pressure (40) is applied to the 4th clutch, and
the 4th clutch is engaged,
Reverse Inhibitor Control
When the E position is selected while the vehicle is moving forward at spe€ds over 6 mph (10 km/h)' the PCM outputs the
1st speed signal to shift control solenoid valves A and B; shift control solenoid valve A is turned oFF, shift control solenoid
valve B is turned ON. The 1-2 shift valve is moved to the right side and covers the port to stop line pressure (3') to the
servo valve. The line pressure (3') is not applied to the servo valve, and the 4th clutch pressure (40) is not applied to the
4th clutch, as a result, power is not transmitted to the reverse direction'
When used. 'left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit'

lll Position
The flow of fluid through the torque converter circuit is the same as in E position. The line pressure (1) changes to theline pressure (3) and flows to the l-2 shift valve. The line pressure (3) changes to the line pressure (3,) at the 1-2 shift valveand flows to the servo valve. The servo valve is moved to the right side (Reverse range position) and uncovers the port toallow line pressure (3") to the manual valve as in @ position. The line pressure (3") from the servo valve is Intercepted bythe manual valve. However, hydraulic pressure is not supplied to the clutches, and the power is not transmitted.
