Figure 3.10 - Manual Valve
1-2 Shift Valve
The 1-2 shift valve (refer to figure 3.11) is a two position valve that must be switched to the (2,3,4) position in order to
get any forward gear other than first gear. It is used for all 1-2 and 2-1 gearshifts.
The switching of this valve is achieved by using S1 and/or S2.
During a 1-2 gearshift drive oil from the manual valve passes through to the second gear circuit. During a 2-1
gearshift the band apply feed oil is allowed to exhaust via the 1-2 shift valve.
The 1-2 shift valve works in conjunction with the 3-4 shift valve (described below) to disengage the C4 clutch in first
gear, and engage C4 in second gear. When Manual 1 is selected the C4 clutch and rear band (B2) are engaged.
Figure 3.11 - 1-2 Shift Valve
Manual Valve
The manual valve (refer to figure 3.10) is connected to the vehicle selector mechanism and controls the flow of oil to
the forward and reverse circuits. The manual valve function is identical in all forward gear positions except that in the
Manual 1 position an additional supply of oil is directed to the 1-2 shift valve for application of the rear band and the
C4 overrun clutch.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 5A-35
2-3 Shift Valve
The 2-3 shift valve (refer to figure 3.12) is a two position valve. It is used on all 2-3 and 3-2 gearshifts.
The switching of this valve is achieved by S2 which is located at the end of the valve spool.
When in the (1,2) position, second gear oil from the 1-2 shift valve is prevented from entering the third gear circuit.
When the valve is moved to the (3,4) position, oil from the second gear circuit is routed to the third gear circuit and the
transmission changes to third gear.
Figure 3.12 - 2-3 Shift Valve
3-4 Shift Valve
The 3-4 shift valve (refer to figure 3,13) is a two position valve. It is used for all 3-4 and 4-3 gearshifts.
The switching of this valve is achieved by S1 which is located at the end of the valve spool.
During a 3-4 gearshift the 3-4 shift valve:
lExhausts the front band release circuit (B 1R) thereby allowing the application of the front band (B1).
lConnects the inner apply area of the front servo (B 1AI) to the band apply feed circuit (BAF) thus allowing
greater apply forces to the front band.
lExhausts the overrun clutch circuit (OC) which allows the C4 clutch to disengage.
During a 4-3 gearshift, the C4 clutch is engaged and the front band (B1) is released. These actions are sequenced
by the 4-3 sequence valve (described below).
The 3-4 shift valve also switches during 1-2 and 2-1 gearshifts (see 1-2 shift valve above) 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 (as described in the 1-2 shift valve section).
Figure 3.13 - 3-4 Shift Valve

5A-36 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
4-3 Sequence Valve
The 4-3 sequence valve (refer figure 3.14) 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 circuit (CAF) to the BIR
circuit until the BIR circuit has been fully pressurised by using the third gear circuit. This prevents objectionable
engine flare on completion of the 4-3 gearshift.

Figure 3.15 - Solenoid Supply Pressure Regulator Valve and Line Pressure Control Valve
Solenoid Supply Pressure Regulator Valve
The solenoid supply valve (refer figure 3.15) supplies a constant pressure to all solenoids (51 to 57). Line pressure
is used as the feed oil to this regulator and the output is termed line 500.
Line Pressure Boost Valve
Line pressure is controlled by 56, which acts as the line pressure boost valve (refer figure 3.15). When 56 pressure
is applied to the end of the 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 56 to open (switch Off) thus closing line 500 and opening 56 to
exhaust. Removal of 56 pressure from the PRV results in HIGH line pressure.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 5A-37
Figure 3.16 - Clutch Apply Regulator Valve
Clutch Apply Regulator Valve
The clutch apply regulator valve (refer figure 3.16) is a fixed ratio valve. This valve provides a regulated pressure to
the C1 clutch and controls the rate of change of state of the clutch to give the desired shift quality.
This ratio is 2.25 : 1.
Third gear oil supplied to the valve is regulated to provide an output pressure (CAF) 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 regulator Valve
The band apply regulator valve (refer figure 3.17) is a fixed ratio valve. It provides a regulated pressure to the front
servo, and controls the rate of change of state of the front band (B1) to give the desired shift quality.
This ratio is 1.4 : 1.
Second gear oil supplied to the valve is regulated to provide an output pressure (BAF) 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.
Figure 3.17 - Band Apply Regulator Valve

5A-38 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Reverse Lockout Valve
The reverse lockout valve (refer figure 3.18) is a two position valve contained in the upper valve body. This valve
uses 51-52 pressure as a signal pressure and controls the application 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.
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 provided that the following conditions are satisfied:
1. In P or N, roadspeed 3 km/h.
2. In R, road speed 10 km/h.
3. Engine speed 1400 rpm.
4. For diesel vehicles, throttle 25%.
5. For gasoline vehicles, throttle 12%.
Under these conditions, the TCU 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 TCU switches solenoids S1 and S2 to On. 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.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 5A-39
Primary Regulator Valve
The primary regulator valve (PRV) (refer to figure 3.19) regulates the transmission 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
applications 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 slippage.
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 56 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 pressurising
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.
Figure 3.19 - Primary Regulator Valve

5A-40 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Converter Clutch Regulator Valve
The converter clutch regulator valve (refer figure 3.20) regulates
the pressure 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 (refer figure 3.21) 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, converter 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, regulated 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.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 5A-41
C1 Bias Valve
The C1 bias valve (refer figure 3.22) ensures that the converter lock-up clutch is only applied in third and fourth
gears. It uses C1 clutch oil pressure as the switching signal since C1 is only applied in third and fourth gears.
Line to 500 oil is routed through the C1 bias valve to S7. The C1 bias valve therefore acts as a safety feature to
ensure drivability in the event of S7 failure.
Figure 3.22- C1 Bias Valve
B1R Exhaust Valve
The B1R exhaust valve (refer figure 3.23) 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 TRAIN SYSTEM
The Power Train System consists of:
lA torque converter with single face lock-up clutch
lFour multi-plate clutch assemblies
lTwo brake bands
lTwo one-way clutches
lPlanetary gearset
lParking mechanism
A conventional six pinion Ravigneaux compound planetary gearset is used with overdrive (fourth gear) being obtained
by driving the carrier.
The cross-sectional arrangement is very modular in nature. Four main sub-assemblies are installed within the case
to complete the build. These sub-assemblies are:
lGearset-sprag-centre support
lC1 -C2-C3-C4 clutch sub-assembly
lPump assembly
lValve body assembly
One, or a combination of selective washers are used between the input shaft flange and the number 4 bearing to
control the transmission end float. This arrangement allows for extensive subassembly testing and simplistic final
assembly during production.
A general description of the operation of the Power Train System is detailed below. Refer to table 4.1 and figure 4.1.
First gear is engaged by applying the C2 clutch and locking the 1-2 One Way Clutch (1-2 OWC). The 1-2 shift is
accomplished by applying the B1 band and overrunning the 1-2 OWC. The 2-3 shift is accomplished by applying the
C1 clutch and releasing the B1 band. The 3-4 shift is accomplished by re-applying the B1 band and overrunning the
3-4 OWC. Reverse gear is engaged by applying the C3 clutch and the B2 band.
The C4 clutch is applied in the Manual 1,2 and 3 ranges to provide engine braking. In addition, the C4 clutch is also
applied in the Drive range for second and third gears to eliminate objectionable freewheel coasting. The B2 band is
also applied in the Manual 1 range to accomplish the low-overrun shift.
Both the front and rear servos are dual area designs to allow accurate friction element matching without the need for
secondary regulator valves. All the friction elements have been designed to provide low shift energies and high static
capacities when used with the new low static co-efficient transmission fluids. Non-asbestos friction materials are used
throughout.

TORQUE CONVERTER
The torque converter (refer figure 4.2) consists of a turbine,
stator pump, impeller and a lock-up damper and piston
assembly. As in conventional torque converters, the impeller is
attached to the converter cover, the turbine is splined to the
input shaft and the stator is mounted on the pump housing via
a one way clutch (sprag).
The addition of the damper and piston assembly enables the
torque converter to ‘lock-up’ under favourable conditions. Lock-
up is only permitted to occur in third and fourth gears under
specified throttle and road speed conditions.
Lock-up is achieved by applying hydraulic pressure to the
damper and piston assembly which couples the turbine to the
converter cover, locking-up the converter and eliminating
unwanted slippage. Whenever lock-up occurs, improved fuel
consumption is achieved. Torsional damper springs are
provided in the damper and piston assembly to absorb any
engine torque fluctuations during lock-up.
