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 P1 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 P1 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 P1
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). P1 pressure also goes through the orifice
to the right of load piston (3). The Pi 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 P I1 pressure
has an increase.
As P1 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 310 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. PI 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 115 psi (8.08 kg/cm2) (793
kPa), the ratio valve closes and the pressure oil goes to
the torque converter.
