fluid circuit. This orifice helps control the reverse input clutch apply rate when engine speed is at
idle.
Reverse Abuse Valve
Reverse fluid pressure acts on the end of the valve opposite of spring force. At engine speeds
above idle, reverse fluid pressure, which is fed by line pressure, increases and moves the valve
against spring force (as shown). Reverse fluid can then fill the reverse input fluid circuit through
the reverse abuse valve. This bypasses the control of orifice #17 and provides a faster clutch
apply.
Boost Valve
Reverse input fluid pressure moves the boost valve against the pressure regulator valve spring.
The spring acts on the pressure regulator valve to increase the operating range of line pressure in
Reverse. Reverse input fluid also flows through the valve and to the reverse input clutch piston.
Remember that torque signal fluid pressure continually acts on the boost valve to control line
pressure in response to vehicle operating conditions.
Reverse Input Clutch Piston
Reverse input fluid pressure moves the piston to apply the reverse input clutch plates and obtain
Reverse.
Reverse Input Air Bleed Checkball
This ball and capsule is located in the reverse input fluid circuit in the oil pump to provide an air
escape when the fluid pressure increases. It also allows air into the circuit to displace the fluid
when the clutch releases.
Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP) Manual Valve Position Switch Assembly
Reverse input fluid pressure closes the normally open reverse switch in the TFP manual valve
position switch This signals the PCM that the manual valve is in the Reverse (R) position.
Shift Solenoid Valves (1-2 and 2-3)
Both shift solenoid valves are energized as in the Park range. Signal A and signal B fluids are
blocked from exhausting through the shift solenoid valves to maintain fluid pressure in these
circuits at the end of the shift valves.
