DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF
PAR 22-23
MAIN TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY
22. MAIN-PRESSURE REGULATOR AND
LOCKUP SHIFT VALVE BODY
ASSEMBLY
a . Components (fig. 383, fold-out 12)
(1) This valve body assembly in-
cludes the main-pressure regulator valve
group, lubrication pressure regulator valve
group and the lockup shift valve group.
T h e m a i n - p r e s s u r e r e g u l a t o r g r o u p i n-
cludes valve assembly 14, plug 13, springs
20 and 21 and plug 19. The lubrication
pressure regulator valve group includes
valve 9, spring 10 and plug 7. The lockup
shift valve group includes valve 26 and
spring 27.
T h e l o c k u p s h i f t v a l v e a nd
main-pressure regulator valve groups are
retained in the valve body 12 by cover
assembly 23.
(2) Valve assembly 14 and valves
9 and 26 are spool-type valves which move
lengthwise in their bores. All movement
is automatic and influenced by spring pres-
sures and hydraulic pressures. Passages in
valve body 12 receive oil from or direct
oil to passages in oil transfer plate 3. The
oil transfer plate, in turn, connects these
passages with passages in converter hous-
ing 31 (fig. 374, fold-out 3).
b. Operation (fig. 372 fold-out 1 and
fig.383, fold-out 12)
(1) Main pressure supplied by the
input and output driven pressure pumps is
directed into a cavity between two lands
o f d i f f e r e n t d i a m e t e r . P r e s s u r e i n t h is
a r e a m o v e s v a l v e a s s e m b l y 1 4 t o w a r d
springs 20 and 21. In its movement, the
valve uncovers a port which directs oil to
the input side of the torque converter. In
the absence of any modulating pressures
(lockup, high-range or reverse) the valve
assumes a position wherein main pressure

and 21.
( 2 ) W h en
the
reverse-range
c l u t c h i s a p p l i e d , r e v e r s e - r a n g e c l u t ch
pressure acts against plug 19. This action
assists the springs 20 and 21 and raises
main pressure. When the high-range clutch
is applied, high-range clutch pressure acts
against plug 13.
This action pushes the
valve against springs 20 and 21, lowering
main pressure. When the lockup clutch is
a p p l i e d , l o c k up
c l u t c h p r e s s u re
a c ts
against the smaller end of valve assembly
14. This action pushes the valve toward
springs 20 and 21, lowering main pressure.
( 3 ) O i l r e t u r n i n g f r o m t h e o i l
cooler acts against the stem end end of
lubrication regulator valve 9, pushing it
against spring 10. The valve moves toward
the spring and uncovers a port which di-
rects oil to transmission sump. The result-
ing pressure at the stemmed end of the
v a l v e s u p p l i e s t h e l u b r i c a t i o n s y s t em
while the bulk of the oil returning from
the cooler flows to the sump.
(4) The lockup shift valve 26 has
two functions. It controls the application
and release of the lockup clutch and it
regulates the volume of oil flowing to the
torque converter. Three hydraulic pres-
sures and spring 27 control the movement
of the valve. When only spring pressure is
acting, the valve directs a large volume
of oil to the torque converter and allows
the lockup clutch to release by exhausting
its apply line.
( 5 ) G o v e r n or
pressure
a c ts
against one end of the lockup shift valve
and pushes the valve against spring 27.
When turbine speed is sufficient, governor
p r e s s u r e m o v e s t h e v a l v e a g a i n s t t he
spring. When this occurs, oil is directed to
the lockup clutch, applying it. Simultane-
ously, the passage of oil to the torque con-
verter is reduced. T and TV pressures act
against the spring-loaded end of the lockup
shift valve. These pressures, when present,
modulate the effect of governor pressure
at the opposite end of the valve. At closed
throttle, T and TV are absent. At light
throttle, TV is present. At full throttle,
both are present. Thus, the governor pres-
sure (and turbine shaft speed) required to
cause lockup will vary with the degree of
throttle opening.
