DR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 48RE 21 - 461
VALVE BODY (Continued)
SWITCH VALVE
When the transmission is in Drive Second before
the TCC application occurs (Fig. 270), the pressure
regulator valve is supplying torque converter pres-
sure to the switch valve. The switch valve directs
this pressure through the transmission input shaft,
into the converter, 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 transmis-
sion.
