3. 3rd Gear
As the soeed of the vehicle reaches the prescribed value, shift control solenoid valve B is turned OFF by means ol the
pCM. Shift control solenoid valve A remains ON. The modulator pressure (6) flows to the right end of the 1-2 shift
valve and the left end oJ the 2-3 shift valve. The 2-3 shift valve is moved to the right side by the modulator pressure
(68). The 2-3 shift valve covers the port to stop line pressure (5) to the 2nd clutch and uncovers to the 3-4 shift valve
as the 2-3 shift valve is moved to the right side. The line pressure (5) becomes the 3rd clutch pressure
(30) at the 3-4
shift valve. The 3rd clutch pressure (30) is applied to the 3rd clutch, and the 3rd clutch is engaged'
Fluid flows by way of:
- Line Dressure (4) * CPB Valve - Line Pressure (5) * 1-2 Shift Valve - Line Pressure (5) * 2-3 Shift Valve
- Line Pressure (5) * 3-4 Shift Valve - 3rd Clutch Pressure (30) - 3rd Clutch
The hvdraulic pressure also flows to the 1st clutch. However, no power is transmitted because of the one-way clutch
as in 2nd gear.
NOTE: When used,
"|eft" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.
