. Lock-up Control Solenoid Valve A: OFF
. Lock-up Control Solenoid Valve B: OFF
. Linear Solenoid Pressure: High
The pressurized fluid regulated by the modulator works
on both ends of the lock-up shift valve. Under this condi-
tion, the pressures working on both ends of the lock-up
shift valve are equal, the lock-up shift valve is moved to
the right side by the tension of the valve spring alone.
The fluid from the ATF pump will flow through the left
side of the lock-up clutch to the torque convener; that is,
the lock-up clutch is in OFF condition.

. Lock-up Control Solenoid Valve A: ONLock-up Control Solenoid Valve 8: Duty Operation
OFF - ONLinear Solenoid Pressure: Low
The PCM switches the solenoid valve A on to release themodulator pressure in the left cavity of the lock_up shiftvalve. The modulator pressure in the right cavity of thelock-up shift valve overcomes the spring force; thus thelock-up shift valve is moved to the left side.The line pressure is then separated into the two pas-sages to the torque converter:
Torque Converter Inner pressure: enters into rightsade to engage lock-up clutch
Torque Converter Back pressure: enters into left sideto diseogage lock-up clutchThe back pressure (F2) is regulated by the lock-up con-trol valve, whereas the position of the lock-up timingvalve is determined by the linear solenoid Dressure andtension of the valve spring. Also the position of the lock_up control valve is determined by the back pressure ofthe lock-up control valve, torque converter pressure reg_ulated by the torque converter check valve, and modula_tor pressure determined by the lock-up control solenoidvalve B. The PCM switches the lock-up control solenoidvalve B on and off rapidly {duty operation} under certainconditions to regulate the back pressure (F2) to lock thetorque convener properly.

. Lock-up Control Solenoid Valve A: ON

o Linear Solenoid Pressure: High
When the vehicle speed further increases. the linear
solenoid pressure is increased to high in accordance
with the linear solenoid controlled bv the PCM.
The lock-up timing valve overcomes the spring force
and moves to the left side. Also, this valve closes the
fluid port leading to the left side of the lock-up control
Under this condition. the modulator pressure in the left
side of the lock-up control valve had already been
released by the lock-up control solenoid valve B; the
lock-up control valve js moved to the left side. As this
takes place, the torque converter back pressure is
released fully. causing the lock-up clutch to be engaged
fully.

set idle rpm in gear to specified idle speed. lf still no good, adjust motor mounts as outlined in enginesection of this manual.
lf the clutch pack is seized or is excessively worn. inspect the other clutches for wear, and check the orificecontrol valves, CPC valve and linear solenoid for free movement.
lf the linear solenoid is stuck, inspect the clutches for wear.
lmproper alignment or main valve body and torque converter housing may cause ATF pump seizure. Thesymptoms are mostly an rpm-related ticking noise or a high-pitched squeak.
lf the l st clutch feed pipe guide in the end cover is scored by the mainshaft, inspect the ball bearing forexcessive movement in the transmission housing. lf oK, replace the end cover as it is dented. The o-rinounder the guide is probably worn.
Replace the mainshaft if the bushing for the 4th feed pipe is loose or damaged. lf the 4th feed pipe is danFaged or out of round, replace the right side cover.
Replace the mainshaft if the bushing for the 1st feed pipe is loose or damaged. lf the 1st feed pipe is darn-aged or out of round, replace it.
A worn or damaged sprag clutch is mostly a result of shifting the transmission inthe wheels rotate in reverse, such as rocking the vehicle in snow.
or E position while
Inspect for damage and wear:
1. Reverse selector gear teeth chamfers.
2. Engagement teeth chamfers of countershaft 4th and reverse gear.
3. Shift fork for scuff marks in center.
4. Differential pinion shaft for wear u nder pin ion gears.
5. Bottom of 3rd clutch for swirl marks.
Replace items 1,2,3 and 4 if worn or damaged. lf transmission makes a clicking, grinding orwhirring noise,also replace mainshaft 4th gear, reverse idler gear. and countershaft 4th gear in addition to 1, 2, 3 or 4.lf differential pinion shaft is worn, overhaul differential assembly, and replace ATF strainer, and thoroughlyclean transmission, flush torque converter, cooler and lines.lf bottom of 3rd clutch is swirled and transmission makes gear noise, replace the countershaft and final drivengear.
Be very careful not to damage the torque converter housing when replacing the main ball bearing, you
may also damage the ATF pump when you torque down the main valve body. This will result in ATF pumpseizure if not detected. Use the oroper roors.
Install the main seal flush with the torque converter housing. lf you push it into the torque converterhousing until it bottoms out, it will block the fluid return passage and result in damage.
See flushing procedure, page 14-187 and 188.
lf the large clutch piston O-ring is broken, inspect the piston groove for rough machining.
lf the l-2 shift valve is stuck closed, the transmission will not upshift. lf stuck open, the transmission hasno 1st gear.
lf the znd orifice control valve is stuck. inspect the 2nd and 3rd clutch oacks for wear.
lf the 3-4 orifice control valve is stuck, inspect the 3rd and 4th clutch oacks for wear.
lf the clutch pressure control valve is stuck closed, the transmission will not shift out of 1st gear.
lf the ATF strainer is clogged with particles of steel or aluminum, inspect the ATF pump and differentialpinion shaft. lf both are OK and no cause for the contamination is found, replace the torque converter.
Inspect the frame for collision damage.
