manual transmission DODGE RAM SRT-10 2006 Service Repair Manual

Once the TCC control valve has moved to the right, line pressure is directedto the tip of the switch valve, forcing
the valve to the right. The switch valve now vents oil from the front of the piston in the torque converter, and sup-
plies line pressure to the (rear) apply side of the torque converter piston. This pressure differential causes the piston
to apply against the friction material, cutting off any further flow of line pressure oil. After the switch valve is shuttled
right allowing line pressure to engage the TCC, torque converter pressureis directed past the switch valve into the
transmission cooler and lubrication circuits.
CONVERTER CLUTCH LOCK-UP VALVE
The torque converter clutch (TCC) lock-up valve controls the back (ON) side of the torque converter clutch. When
the PCM energizes the TCC solenoid to engage the converter clutch piston, pressure is applied to the TCC lock-up
valve which moves to the right and applies pressure to the torque converterclutch.
CONVERTER CLUTCH LOCK-UP TIMING VALVE
The torque converter clutch (TCC) lock-up timing valve is there to block any 4-3 downshift until the TCC is com-
pletely unlocked and the clutch is disengaged.
SHUTTLE VALVE
The assembly is contained in a bore in the valve body above the shift valves.When the manual valve is positioned
in the Drive range, throttle pressure acts on the throttle plug of the shuttle valve to move it against a spring, increas-
ing the spring force on the shuttle valve. During a part or full throttle 1-2upshift, the throttle plug is bottomed by
throttle pressure, holding the shuttle valve to the right against governor pressure, and opening a by–pass circuit.
The shuttle valve controls the quality of the kickdown shift by restricting the rate of fluid discharge from the front
clutch and servo release circuits. During a 3-2 kickdown, fluid discharges through the shuttle by-pass circuit. When
the shuttle valve closes the by-pass circuit, fluid discharge is restricted and controlled for the application of the front
band. During a 2-3 “lift foot” upshift, the shuttle valve by-passes the restriction to allow full fluid flow through the
by-pass groove for a faster release of the band.
Manual Valve

BOOST VALVE
The boost valve provides increased fluid apply pres-
sure to the overdrive clutch during 3-4 upshifts, and
when accelerating in fourth gear.

DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Do not clamp any valve body component in a vise. This practice can damage the component
resulting in unsatisfactory operation after assembly and installation.Do not use pliers to remove any of the
valves, plugs or springs and do not force any of the components out or into place. The valves and valve
body housings will be damaged if force is used. Tag or mark the valve body springs for reference as they
are removed. Do not allow them to become intermixed.

7. Lubricate solenoid case connector (1) O-rings and
shaft of manual lever with light coat of petroleum
jelly.

TRANSFER CASE VERIFICATION TEST
1.
Disconnect all jumper wires and reconnect all previously disconnected components and connectors.
With the scan tool, select clear Stored DTCs.
Make sure that all accessories are turned off and that the battery is fully charged.
Test drive the vehicle in each Transfer Case range and verify proper operation in each range.
To select or deselect 2WD, AWD or 4HI mode, vehicle speed must be below 88 Kmh(55 mph) with all wheels
at vehicle speed.
Shifts will not take place with a wheel speed difference of greater than 21 Kmh (13 mph) between the front
and rear wheels.
To select or deselect 4LO (if equipped), vehicle speed must be below 5 Kmh (3mph) with the ignition ON and
the transmission in neutral (auto trans) or the clutch pedal pressed (man trans).
To select or deselect Transfer Case Neutral, vehicle speed must be 0 Kmh (0 mph) with the ignition ON,
engine OFF, the brake pedal applied, and the transmission in neutral (autotrans) or the clutch pedal pressed
(man trans). Press the Neutral button (if equipped) on the Transfer Case Selector Switch until the Neutral Indi-
cator is illuminated.
WARNING: Apply the parking brake. The vehicle may roll with the Transfer Case in neutral.
To verify that the Transfer Case is in Neutral, shift the automatic transmission into reverse and release the
brake pedal for three seconds or shift the manual transmission into gear andslowlyreleasetheclutchpedal.
There should be no vehicle movement if the Transfer Case is in Neutral.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs in the Totally Integrated Power Module(TIPM) and in the Instrument Cluster.
Are there any DTCs present in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) orin the Instrument Cluster?
