3rd Gear (bl or bd positionl
1. Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 3rd clutch. Power from the mainshaft 3rd gear is transmitted to the countershaft3rd gear.
2. Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which drives the tinal driven gear.
NOTE: Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 1st clutch, but since the rotation speed of 3rd gear exceeds that of 1stgear, power from lst gear is cut off at the one-way clutch.

El Po3ition
1, Hydraulic pressure is switched by the manual valve to the servo valve, which moves the reverse shift fork to thereverse position. The reverse shift fork engages with the reverse selector, reverse selector hub, and the countershaftreverse gear.
Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 4th clutch. Power is transmitt€d from the mainshaft reverse gear via thereverse idler gear to the countershaft reverse gear.
The rotation direction of the countershaft reverse gear is changed via the reverse idler gear,
Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which drives the final driven gear.

Electronic Control System (cont'd)
Shift Control
The PCM instantaneously determines which gear should be selected by various signals sent from sensors, and actuatesthe shift control solenoid valves A and B to control shifting. Also. a Grade Logic Control System has been adopted to con-trol shifting in E position while the vehicle is ascending or descending a slope, or reducing speed.

Lock-up Control
From sensor input signals, the PCM determines whether to turn the lock-up ON or OFF, and activates lock-up controlsolenoid valve A and/or B accordingly. The combination of driving signals to lock-up control solenoid valves A and B andthe linear solenoid pressure is shown in the table below.

Description
Electronic Control System {cont'dl
Ascending Control
When the PCM determines that the vehicle is climbing a hill in E position, the system oxtends the sngagement area of2nd gear and 3rd gear to prevent ths transmission from fr€quently shifting between 2nd and 3rd gears, and between 3rdand 4th gears, so the vehicle can run smooth and have more power when needed. There are two ascending modes withdifferent 3rd gear driving areas according to the magnitude of a gradient stored in the pCM.
NOTE:
. The PCM memory contains shift schedules between 2nd and 3rd gears, and between 3rd and 4th gears that enable thePCM's fuzzy logic to automatically select the most suitable gear according to the magnitude of a gradient. Fuzzy logic is a form of artificial intelligence that lets computers respond to changing conditions much like a humanmind would,
Dssconding Control
When the PCM determines that the vehicle is going down a hilt in E position, the shift-up speed from 3rd to 4th gearwhen th€ throftle is closed becomes faster than the set speed for flat road driving to widen the 3rd gear driving area.This, in combination with engine braking from the deceleration lock-up, achieves smooth driving when the vehicle isdescending. There are two descending modes with different downshift (4 - 3) schedules according to the magnitude of agradient stored in the PCM. When the vehicle is in 4th gear, and you are decelerating on a gradual hill, or when you areapplying the brakes on a steep hill, the transmission will downshift to 3rd gear. When you accel6rate, the transmission willthen return to 4th gear.

Docel6ration Control
When the vehicle goes around a corner. and needs to first decelerate and then accelerate. the rcM sets the data for decelerationcontrol to reduce the number of times the transmission shifts. When the vehicle is decelerating from speeds above 26 mph(41 km/h), the rcM shifts the transmission from 4th to 2nd earlier than normal to cope with upcoming acceleration.

Regulator Valve
The regulator valve maintains a constant hydraulic pressure from the ATF pump to the hydraulic control system, whitealso furnishing fluid to the lubricating system and torque converter. The fluid from the ATF pump flows through B and 8,.The regulator valve has a valve orifice. The fluid entering from B flows through the orifice to the A cavity. This pressure ofthe A cavity pushes the regulator valve to the right side, and this movement of the regulator valve uncovers the fluid portto the torque converter and the relief valve. The fluid flows out to the torque converter, and the relief valve and regulatorvalve moves to the left side. According to the level of the hydraulic pressure through B, the position of the regutator vatvechanges and the amount of the fluid from B' through D and c also changes. This operation is continued. maantaining theline pressure,

Hydraulic pressure increases according to torque, are performed by the regulator valve using the stator torque reaction.The stator shaft is splined with the stator in the torque converter, and its arm end contacts the regulator sprang cap. whenthe vehicle is accelerating or climbing (Torque Convert€r Range), the stator torque reaction acts on the stator shaft, andthe stator arm pushes the regulator spring cap in the direction of the arrow in proponion to the reaction. Jne stator reac-tion spring compresses, and th€ reoulator valve moves to increase the line pressure which is regulated by the regulatorvalve. The line pressure reaches its maximum when the stator torque reaction reaches its maximum.
