MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 2006 Service Manual

Shift Pressure Shift Valve
When the multiple-disc brake B1 (3) is activated,
the working pressure (p-A) is applied to the end face
of the 1-2 / 4-5 shift pressure shift valve (4) (Fig. 117)
via the command valve (1). Its shift state is main-
tained during the shift phase by substituting the
shift element pressure acting on its end face (and
which is variable during the shift phase) with a cor-
responding constant pressure. When the multi-plate
clutch K1 (2) is activated, the end face of the shift
valve is unpressurized during the stationary and
shift phases, so the shift state is maintained during
the shift phase in this case too.Lubrication Pressure Regulating Valve
At the working pressure regulating valve surplus
oil is diverted to the lubrication pressure regulating
valve (1) (Fig. 118), from where the lubrication pres-
sure (p-Sm) is used in regulated amounts to supply
the transmission lubrication system including the
torque converter.

Shift Pressure Regulating Valve
The shift pressure is determined by the shift pres-
sure regulating solenoid valve and the shift pressure
regulating valve (3) (Fig. 119). In addition, pressure
from the clutch K2 (1) is also present at the annular
surface (2) of the shift pressure regulating valve (3).
This reduces the shift pressure in 2nd gear.
Regulating Valve Pressure Regulating Valve
The regulating valve pressure (p-RV) is set at the
regulating valve pressure regulating valve (1) (Fig.
120) in relation to the working pressure (p-A) as far
as the maximum pressure.Shift Valve Pressure Regulating Valve
The non-constant regulating valve pressure (p-RV)
is regulated to a constant shift valve pressure (p-SV)
at the shift valve pressure regulating valve (1) (Fig.
121) and is used to supply the 1-2 and 4-5 / 3-4 / 2-3
solenoid valves and the torque converter lockup
clutch PWM solenoid valve.

REMOVAL
(1) Drain transmission oil by unscrewing oil drain
plug (8) (Fig. 122).
NOTE: If the transmission fluid is burnt or contains
abraded particles, the oil cooler lines and oil cooler
must be flushed out.(2) Move selector lever to position ªPº.
