Transler Mochanism {4WD}
The transfer mechanism consists of the transfer shaft drive gear. the transfer shaft. the transfer drive gear, the transfer driv-en gear shaft, and the companion flange, The transfer mechanism assembly is on the rear side ot the transmission. besidethe differential. The transfer shaft drive gear on the final driven gear drives the transfer shaft driven qear. power is transmit-ted to the rear differential via the transfer shaft and the Drooeller shaft.
Clutches
The four-speed automatic transmission uses hydraulically-actuated clutches to engage or disengage the transmission gears.When the hydraulic pressure is introduced into the clutch drum, the clutch piston moves. This presses the friction discs andsteel plates together, locking them so they don't slip. Power is then transmifted through the engaged clutch pack to its hu$mounted gear. When hydraulic pressure is bled from the clutch pack, the piston releases the friction discs and steel plates, andthey are free to slide past each other. This allows the gearto spin independently on its shaft, transmitting no power.
lst Clutch
The 1st clutch engages/disengages lst gear, and is located at the end ofthe mainshaft, just behind the end cover.The 1st clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the mainshaft.
lst-hold Clutch
The 1st-hold clutch engages/disengages 1st-hold or E position, and is located at the middle of the sub-shaft. The 1st-holdclutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the sub-shaft.
2nd Clutch
The znd ciutch engages/disengages 2nd gear, and is located at the middle of the mainshaft. The 2nd clutch is joined back-to-back to the 4th clutch. The 2nd clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure through the mainshaft by a circuit connected to theinternal hydraulic circuit.

Regulator Valve
The regulator valve maintains constant hydraulic pressure from the ATF pump to the hydraullc control system, while also
furnishing fluid to the lubricating system and torque converter. Fluid from the ATF pump flows through B and B'. Fluid
entering from B flows through the valve orifice to the A cavity. This pressure of the A cavity pushes the regulator valve to
the right side. and this movement of the regulator valve uncovers the fluid port to the torque converter and the relief
valve. The fluid flows out to the torque converter and the relief valve, and the regulator valve moves to the left side.
According to the level of the hydraulic pressure through B, the position of the regulator valve changes and the amount of
fluid from B,through the torque converter also changes. This operation is continued, maintaining the line pressure.
NOTE; When used, "|eft" or "right" indicates direction on the illustration below.

STATOR SHAFT ABM
Stator Reaction Hydraulic Pressurs Control
Increases in hydraulic pressure according to torque are performed by the regulator valve using stator torque reaction. The
stator shaft is splined to the stator in the torque converter, and its arm end contacts the regulator spring cap When the
vehicle is accelerating or climbing (Torque Converter Range), stator torque reaction acts on the stator shaft, and the stator
arm pushes the regulator spring cap in the direction of the arrow in proportion to the reaction. The stator reaction spring
compresses, and the regulator valve moves to increase the line pressure. Line pressure reaches its maximum when the
stator torque reaction reaches its maximum.

els) and in E position with Over-Drive (O/D) is OFF (by
pressing the O/D switch) ('99 - 00 models) (3rd), pressur-
ized fluid is drained from the back of the torque convert-
er through a fluid passage, causing the lock-up piston to
be held against the torque converter cover, As this takes
Dlace, the mainshaft rotates at the same speed as th8
engine crankshaft. Together with the hydraulic control,
the PCM optimizes the timing of the lock-up system.
Under certain condltions. the lock-up clutch is appli€d
during deceleration, in 3rd and 4th gear.
The lock-up system controls the range of lock-up sccord-
ing to lock-up control solenoid valves A and B, and ths
linear solenoid. When lock-up control solenoid valves A
and B activate. modulator pressure changes. Lock-up
control solenoid valves A and B are mounted on the out-
side of the torque converter housing, and the linear
solenoid is mounted on the transmission housing. They
are controlled bv the PCM.
The table below shows the lock-up conditions for lock-up
control solenoid valves and linear solenoid pressure.
