DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

When engine speed increases and the pump provides

an excess of oil the PRV moves to uncover the

converter feed port thereby pressurising the converter.

As engine speed increases further the excess oil

supplied by the pump is diverted back to the pump

suction port as the PRV opens further against spring

force.

1-2 Shift Valve (Manual 1st Shift Valve)

The manual valve is connected to the vehicle selector

mechanism and controls the flow of oil to the forward

and reverse circuits. The manual valve function is

identical in all forward gear positions. Oil is prevented

from entering the forward and reverse circuits when

the manual valve is in the park or neutral position.

This is a two position valve that must be switched to

Primary Regulator Valve

the 2, 3 or 4 position in order to get any forward gear

other than Manual 1st. It is used on every Manual

1st-2 and 2-Manual 1st gearshift hence its name.

Drive oil from the manual valve is allowed to pass

through to the 2nd circuit during a Manual 1st-2

gearshift. During a 2-Manual 1st shift the band apply

feed oil is allowed to exhaust via this valve. It also

routes oil to the C4 clutch and the rear band servo.
The switching of this valve is achieved by supplying

pressure from solenoid 1, 2 and/or 3, or exhausting

pressure through solenoid 1, 2 and 3.

2-3 Shift Valve

This valve is used on 2-3 and 3-2 shifts. The

switching of this valve is done directly by solenoid 2

which is located at the end of the 2-3 shift valve.

The function of this valve is to regulate the

This valve gives either low, or high, line pressure

the valve is shifted to the 3 and 4 position the 3rd

pressure is applied to the PRV moving it against

spring pressure and opening the line pressure circuit

to the pump suction port resulting in reduced line

pressure. Low line pressure is used during light

throttle applications and cruising. Heavy throttle

application will cause solenoid #6 to switch ‘OFF’

allowing the PRV to close off increasing line pressure.

This stepped line pressure control does not have a

detrimental effect on shift quality because all shifting

pressures are controlled by separate band and clutch

regulator valves and the output of solenoid #5.
The PRV also regulates the supply of oil to the torque

converter via the converter feed port. The lands on

the PRV are designed such that priority is given to

maintaining line pressure at very low engine speeds.
