FIRST SPEED FORWARD
When the console selector lever is moved from the
NEUTRAL position to the FIRST SPEED FORWARD
position, spool (14) for direction selection is moved to the
FORWARD position. With spool (14) for direction
selection in the FORWARD position, the passages for
No. 1 and No. 2 clutches are open to the reservoir. The
pressure oil for these clutches goes to the reservoir and
neither is engaged.
Also, with spool (14) for direction selection in the
FORWARD position, the passages for the No. 6 clutch
is open to the flow of oil. As the No. 6 clutch fills, the
pressure of the oil in the system has a decrease.
When the oil pressure has a decrease, the spring
force
on
modulation
relief
valve
(2)
moves
the
modulation relief valve to the left against its slug. When
the modulation relief valve moves to the left, it stops the
flow of oil from the passages for oil going to torque
converter (4).
An orifice in the passage to the left end of differential
and safety valve (6) controls the flow of oil from the left
end of the combination valve. This orifice keeps the
combination valve from being moved completely to the
left by the spring force during a normal shift sequence.
This keeps the differential and safety valve from working
as a safety valve between shifts.
When the No. 6 clutch is filled, the oil pump causes
an increase in the pressure of the oil. Pressure oil goes
through a passage and a drilled hole in modulation relief
valve (2) to the left end of differential and safety valve
(6). The pressure oil in the drilled hole in modulation
relief valve (2) also opens its poppet valve and works
between the slug and the modulation relief valve.
As PI pressure oil has an increase, differential and
safety valve (6) is moved to the right. The passage to
the reservoir that stopped the movement of the
differential and safety valve in NEUTRAL now has PI
pressure oil. This valve moves to the right until the
orifices in the valve are open to the P I1 pressure oil from
selector valve (19). The orifices control the flow of oil to
the No. 3 clutch. When the No. 3 clutch is filled, the P2
pressure oil plus the spring force move differential and
safety valve (6) to the left to stop the flow of oil through
the orifices. Now PI pressure has an increase.
As the P1 pressure oil has an increase, the PI
pressure between the slug and modulation relief valve
(2) moves the modulation relief valve to the right. When
the modulation relief valve moves to the right, it connects
the passages to let pressure oil go to torque converter
(4). PI pressure also goes through the orifice to the right
of load piston (3). The P1 pressure on the load piston,
plus the spring force, makes modulation relief valve (2)
move to the left. When the modulation relief valve
moves to the left, it stops the flow of oil to the passages
to torque converter (4) and PI pressure has an increase.
As PI pressure becomes higher, the modulation relief
valve moves to the right again and opens the passages
to the torque converter. This higher P1 pressure also
goes through the orifice to the right of load piston (3).
The higher PI pressure on the load piston, plus the
spring force, makes the modulation relief valve move to
the right again and again until the PI pressure is at a
maximum. The modulation relief valve controls the
maximum pressure by letting the extra pressure go to
the passage for the torque converter. This gradual
increase in pressure is modulation. The modulation
relief valve (2) gives modulation for all the clutches
(speed and direction).
The differential and safety valve (6) causes a
constant pressure difference of 50 psi (3.5 kg/cm2) (344
kPa) less than the PI pressure to the speed clutches.
This pressure difference lets the speed clutches become
engaged first, and then the direction clutches are
engaged last. When the PI pressure is at a maximum of
approximately 3 10 psi (21.80 kg/cm2) (2137 kPa), the
P2 pressure is at approximately 160 psi ( 11.25 kg/cm2)
(1103 kPa). The shift is now complete.
The inlet ratio valve (5) controls the maximum oil
pressure to the torque converter. P1 pressure between
the ratio valve and its slug keeps the valve closed. The
pressure of the oil that goes through the passage to the
torque converter is felt by the end of the ratio valve
opposite the slug. When the pressure of the oil to the
torque converter is less than 1 15 psi (8.08 kg/cm2) (793
kPa), the ratio valve closes and the pressure oil goes to
the torque converter.
