top land. Pressure in this cavity pushes
the valve downward against a spring at its
lower end. As the valve moves downward,
it uncovers a port which admits oil to the
lockup shift valve bore. When the lockup
shift valve is held upward by its spring, the
oil flows unrestricted to the torque con-
verter and keeps it charged.
When the
valve is in the downward position, flow to
t h e c o n v e r t e r i s l i m i t e d b y a n o r i f i c e.
Another passage is blocked by the middle
land of the lockup shift valve.

flows into a cavity between the two larger
lower lands of tine valve. If the oil is cold
or the speed of the pump is sufficient, the
oil flow may exceed the capacity of the
converter.
The pressure then rises and
causes the valve to move downward, un-
covering a port through which part of the
flow exhausts to the sump.
d. Main-pressure regulation in neu-
tral (converter operation) is maintained
only by the compression of the springs at
the lower end of the valve. Should engine
speed be increased sufficiently to cause
lockup (increased pitot pressure forces the
lockup shift valve downward), main pres-
sure would flow to the lockup clutch. At
the same time, a branch from the lockup
clutch line directs pressure to the area
between the top of the lockup shift valve
a n d t h e b o t t o m o f t h e h i g h k n o c k d o wn
plug. Thus, in neutral lockup, main pres-
sure is lowered because more oil is allowed
t o e s c a p e i n t o t h e c o n v e r t e r f e e d l i ne
(and, in some instances, to the sump).
e . At the lockup cutoff valve, oil is
directed to two points. One point is the
r i g h t e n d o f t h e v a l v e.
T h e o t h e r is
through an orifice (earlier models; later
models have no orifice) to a passage which
feeds the manual selector valve. When no
shifts are being made, the lockup cutoff
valve remains in the position shown. From
the lockup cutoff valve, main pressure is
d i r e c t e d t o t h e m a n u a l s e l e c t o r v a l v e.
This valve is in neutral position and does
not direct pressure to any of the range
clutches. It does, however, direct pressure
to the first, neutral and reverse 1 signal
l i n e ( t h r o u g h t h e h o l l o w c e n t e r o f t he
valve). Pressure in the signal line pushes
t h e d r i v e c l u t c h r e l a y v a l v e u p w a rd
against its stop, alining the hydraulic cir-
c u i t f o r d r i v e b y m e a n s o f t h e g e a r ed
steer clutches.
f . At the throttle and throttle regu-
lator valves, main pressure is supplied to
two points. The left connection is blocked
at closed throttle. When the throttle is
opened, the throttle valve lever moves the
throttle valve to the left. The spring be-
tween the throttle valve and throttle regu-
lator valve transmits this movement to the
throttle regulator valve. When the throttle
regulator valve moves to the left, a port is
uncovered, allowing oil to flow to the TV
line. A branch of the TV line directs oil,
through an orifice, to the left end of the
throttle regulator valve where it exerts
sufficient
p r e s s u r e t o
balance
the
compression of the TV spring and regulate
TV pressure. Thus, the greater the move-
ment of the throttle valve to the left, the
g r e a t e r i s t h e c o m p r e s s i o n o f t h e TV
spring and, consequently, the greater the
pressure in the TV line. TV pressure is
directed to the 10 lower side of the lockup
shift valve, where it inhibits the initial
downward movement of the valve.
g . When the lockup shift valve moves
downward against TV pressure far enough
to close the TV pressure passage, it no
longer is opposed by TV pressure (except
at full throttle, h , below) and rapidly com-
pletes its downward stroke. The cavity
below the valve exhausts through the T
pressure line and an orifice shown above
the throttle valve.
h . W h e n t h e t h r o t t l e i s c o m p l e t e ly
open, the throttle valve moves far enough
to the left to uncover the T pressure port.
