DR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 46RE 21 - 283
VALVE BODY (Continued)
SWITCH VALVE
When the transmission is in Drive Second before the
TCC application occurs (Fig. 286), the pressure regula-
tor valve is supplying torque converter pressure to the
switch valve. The switch valve directs this pressure
through the transmission input shaft, into the con-
verter, through the converter, back out between the
input shaft and the reaction shaft, and back up to the
switch valve. From the switch valve, the fluid pressure
is directed to the transmission cooler, and lubrication
pressure returns from the cooler to lubricate different
portions of the transmission.
