Hydraulic Controls 

The valve body includes the main valve body, the regulator valve body, the secondary valve body, and the 
accumulator body. The ATF pump is driven by splines on the end of the torque converter which is attached to 
the engine. Fluid flows through the regulator valve to maintain specified pressure through the main valve body 
to the manual valve, directing pressure to each of the clutches. The shift solenoid valves A, B, C, and D are 
mounted on the accumulator body. The A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A, B, and C are mounted on 
the transmission housing.

Main Valve Body ('05 Model) 

The main valve body contains the manual valve, the modulator valve, the shift valve A, the shift valve B, the 
shift valve E, the CPC valve A, the servo control valve, the lubrication check valve, the lubrication control 
valve, the torque converter check valve, the lock-up timing valve, the relief valve, the cooler check valve, the 
lock-up shift valve, and the ATF pump gears. The primary function of the main valve body is to switch fluid 
pressure on and off to control hydraulic pressure going to the hydraulic control system.
