The flow of fluid through the torque converter circuit is same as in E position, The line pressure tlows to the manual
valve and the modulator valve. The line pressure changes to the modulator pr€ssure (6) at the modulator valve and to
the line pressure (4) at the manual valve. The modulator pressure (61 flows to the lsft end of the 1-2 shift valve and the
3-4 shift valve because shift control solenoid valve A is turned OFF and B is turned ON by the PCM. The 1-2 shift valve
is moved to the right side. The line pressure (4) changes to the lst clutch pressure (10) at the 1-2 shift valve and the
oritice. The lst clutch pressure (10) is applied to the 1st clutch and tho 1st accumulator; consquently, the vehicle will
move as the engine power is transmitted.

Fluid flows by way of:- Line Pressure (4) + cPB varve - Line pressure (s) * 'r-2 shift varve - Line pressure (5) * 2-3 shift varve- 2nd Clutch Pressure (20) + 2nd Clutch
The hydraulic pressure also flows to the 1st clutch. However, no power is transmittod because of the one-way ctutch.

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.

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'

Lock-up System
Lock-up Clutch
1. Ooeration (clutch onl
with the lock-up clutch on, the fluid in the chamber between the torque converter cover and the lock-up piston is drained
off, and the converter fluid exerts pressure through the piston against the torque converter cover, As a result, the conven-
er turbine is locked to the convefter cover. The effect is to bypass the converter, thereby placing the vehicle in direct drive

With the lock-up clutch off, the fluid flows in the reverse of "clutch on." As a result, the lock-up piston moves away from
the converter cover, and the torque converter lock-up is releassd.

TOROUE CONVERTER
In B.rl position, in 3rd and 4th, and lDl_- position in 3rd.pressurized fluid is drajned from the back of the torqueconverter through a fluid passage. causing the lock-uppiston to be held against the torque convener cover. Asthis takes place, the mainshaft rotates at the same speedas the engine crankshaft, Together with the hydrauliccontrol, the PCM optimized the timing of the lock_upsystem. Under certain conditions, the lock_up clutch isapplied during deceleration, in 3rd and 4th gear.
The lock-up system controls the range of lock_up accord_ing to lock-up control solenoid valves A and B. and thelinear solenoid. When lock-up control solenoid valves Aand B activate, modulator pressure changes. Lock_upcontrol solenoid valves A and B and the linear solenoidare mounted on the outside of the torque converterhousing. and are controlled by the pclvl.
