5A-12 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SSANGYONG MY2002
During a 4-3 gearshift, the C4 clutch is engaged and
the front band (B1) is released. These actions are se-
quenced by the 4-3 sequence valve.
The 3-4 shift valve also switches during 1-2 and 2-1
gearshifts where its function is to apply the overrun
clutch (C4) in second gear but to release it in first
gear.
Note that the C4 clutch is applied in Manual 1 by virtue
of the manual valve and the 1-2 shift valve. Refer to
“1-2 Shift Valve” in this section.
4-3 Sequence Valve
The 4-3 sequence valve is a two position spring loaded
valve. It switches during 3-4 and 4-3 gearshifts although
it performs no function during the 3-4 shift.
During the 4-3 shift the 4-3 sequence valve delays the
connection of the Clutch Apply Feed (CAF) circuit to
the B1R circuit until the B1R circuit has been fully
pressurized by using the third gear circuit. This
prevents objectionable engine flare on completion of
the 4-3 gearshift.
Solenoid Supply Pressure Regulator Valve
The solenoid supply pressure regulator valve supplies
a constant pressure to all solenoids (S1 to S7). Line
pres-sure is used as the feeding oil to this regulator
and the output is termed line 500.
Line Pressure Control Valve
Line pressure is controlled by S6, which acts as theline pressure control valve. When S6 pressure is applied
to the end of the Primary Regulator Valve (PRV), it is
opposed by spring force and causes LOW line
pressure for light throttle application and cruising.
Heavy throttle application causes the normally open
S6 to open (switch Off) thus closing line 500 and
opening S6 to exhaust. Removal of S6 pressure from
the PRV results in HIGH line pressure.
Clutch Apply Feed Regulator Valve
The clutch apply feed regulator valve is a fixed ratio
(2.25:1) valve. This valve provides a regulated pressure
to the C1 clutch and controls the change rate of the
clutch state to give the desired shift quality.
Third gear oil supplied to the valve is regulated to pro-
vide an output pressure, Clutch Apply Feed (CAF) pres-
sure, of 2.25 times the S5 signal pressure when S3 is
ON. When S3 is OFF, the output pressure is 2.25 times
the line 500 pressure.
Band Apply Feed Regulator Valve
The band apply feed regulator valve is a fixed ratio
(1.4:1) valve. It provides a regulated pressure to the
front servo, and controls the change rate of the front
band (B1) state to give the desired shift quality.
Second gear oil supplied to the valve is regulated to
provide an output pressure, Band Apply Feed (BAF)
pressure, of 1.4 times the S5 signal pressure when S4
is ON. When S4 is OFF the output pressure is 1.4 times
the line 500 pressure.

Reverse Lockout Valve
The reverse lockout valve is a two position valve con-
tained in the upper valve body. This valve uses S1-S2
pressure as a signal pressure and controls the applica-
tion of the rear band (B2).
While the manual valve is in D, 3, 2 or 1 positions,
drive oil is applied to the spring end of the valve,
overriding any signal pressures and holding the valve
in the lockout position. This prevents the application
of B2 in any of the forward driving gears except M1.S1- S2 pressure is exhausted and the valve is held in
the lockout position by the spring. In this position,
engagement of B2 is prohibited.
This feature protects the transmission from abuse by
preventing the undesirable application of B2 at high
speed, and by providing a reverse lockout function.
Note that if the transmission is in failure mode, the
rear band will be applied at all times in P, R and N.
Pump Cover
When the manual valve is in P, R or N positions, drive
oil is exhausted and the reverse lockout valve may be
toggled by S1-S2 pressure.
B2 is applied in P, R, and N if the following conditions
are satisfied;
In P or N, vehicle speed = 3 km/h.
In R, vehicle speed = 10 km/h.
Engine speed = 1600 rpm.
Throttle position = 12 %.
Under these conditions, the TCM switches solenoids
S1 and S2 to OFF. The reverse lockout valve toggles
under the influence of the S1-S2 pressure, to connect
the line pressure to the B2 feed. Oil is fed to both the
inner and outer apply areas of the rear servo piston,
applying B2.
If any of the above conditions are not satisfied, the
TCM switches solenoids S1 and S2 to ON.Primary Regulator Valve
The Primary Regulator Valve (PRV) regulates the trans-
mission line pressure (or pump output pressure). This
valve gives either high or low line pressure depending
on whether S6 is switched OFF or ON. When S6 is
switched ON, S6 pressure is applied to the PRV moving
it against spring pressure and opening the line
pressure circuit to the pump suction port resulting in
reduced line pressure.
Low line pressure is used during light throttle applica-
tions and cruising. Heavy throttle will cause S6 to switch
OFF and thereby cause high line pressure.
This stepped line pressure control has no detrimental
effect on shift feel because all shifting pressures are
controlled by separate band and clutch regulator
valves, and the output of S5.
When reverse gear is selected, both the low and high
line pressure values are boosted to guard against slip-
page. This is achieved by applying reverse oil line
pressure to the PRV to assist the spring load. The
other end of the valve contains ports for line pressure
feedback and S6 pressure.
The PRV also regulates the supply of oil to the
converter via the converter feed port. The cascade
effect of the PRV ensures the first priority of the valve
is to maintain line pressure at very low engine speeds.
When the engine speed increases and the pump
supplies an excess of oil the PRV moves to uncover
the converter feed port thereby pressurizing the
converter. If there is an excess of oil for the
transmission’s needs then the PRV moves further to
allow oil to return to the suction port.

Converter Clutch Regulator Valve
The converter clutch regulator valve regulates the pres-
sure of the oil which applies the converter clutch. Input
oil from the line 500 circuit is regulated within the valve,
with the output pressure being variable according to
the signal pressure from the S5 circuit. Converter clutch
apply and release application is smoothed by
electronically varying the S5 circuit pressure.
Converter Clutch Control Valve
The converter clutch control valve is a two position
valve which applies or releases the converter clutch.
The switching of this valve is governed by the signal
pressure from S7.
When the valve is in the OFF or released position, con-
verter feed oil from the PRV is directed to the release
side of the converter clutch. After flowing through the
converter, oil returns to the converter clutch control
valve and is then directed to the oil cooler.
When the valve is in the ON or applied position, regu-
lated oil from the converter clutch regulator valve is
directed to the apply side of the converter clutch. This
oil remains within the converter because the converter
clutch piston is sealed against the flat friction surface
of the converter cover. To provide oil flow to the cooler
the converter clutch control valve directs converter feed
oil from the PRV directly to the cooler circuit.B1R Exhaust Valve
The B1R exhaust valve is a two position spring loaded
valve located in the transmission case directly adjacent
to the front servo. It permits the servo release oil to be
rapidly exhausted into the transmission case during
application of the front band (B1). This prevents the
need to force the oil back from the front servo through
the valve body and through the 3-4 shift valve. The
spring positions the valve to prevent oil entering the
release area of the servo until the B1R circuit oil
pressure reaches approximately 100 kPa.

Power Flow - Park and Neutral
In Park and Neutral, there is no drive to the planetary
gear set. The rear band is applied to eliminate ‘clunk’
on engagement of the reverse gear, and to improve
the low range engagement for 4WD applications. No
other clutches or bands are applied.
In Park the transmission is mechanically locked by
engaging a case mounted pawl with teeth on the output
shaft ring gear.
Control
To maintain this arrangement in the steady state sole-
noids and valves are activated as follows:
Solenoids S1 and S2 are switched OFF.
Line (pump) pressure is applied to the Primary Regu-
lator Valve (PRV) and to the solenoid supply
pressure regulator valve.
The converter, oil cooler, and lubrication circuits are
charged from the primary regulator valve.
The line 500 circuit is charged by the solenoid
supply pressure regulator valve.
The S5 circuit is charged by the variable pressure
solenoid (S5).
Line pressure is prevented from entering the drive
circuit by the manual valve.
The B1 circuit and all clutch circuits are open to ex-
haust.
