The 4T65-E is a fully automatic front wheel drive electronically
controlled transmission. The 4T65-E provides four forward ranges including
overdrive. The PCM controls shift points by means of two shift solenoids.
A vane-type oil pump supplys the oil pressure. The PCM regulates oil pressure
by means of a pressure control solenoid valve.
You can operate the transmission in any one of the following seven modes:
| • | P - Park position prevents the vehicle from rolling either
forward or backward. For safety reasons, use the parking brake in addition
to the park position. |
| • | R - Reverse allows the vehicle to be operated in a rearward
direction. |
| • | N - Neutral allows the engine to be started and operated
while driving the vehicle. If necessary, you may select this position in order
to restart the engine with the vehicle moving. |
| • | D - Overdrive is used for all normal driving conditions.
Overdrive provides four gear ratios plus a converter clutch operation. Depress
the accelerator in order to downshift for safe passing. |
| • | 3 - Drive position is used for city traffic and hilly terrain.
Drive provides three gear ranges and drive range prevents the transmission
from operating in fourth gear.. Depress the accelerator in order to downshift. |
| • | 2 - Manual Second provides two gear ratios under most operating
conditions. Manual Second provides acceleration and engine braking. Select
this range at any vehicle speed, but the transmission will not downshift into
Second gear until the vehicle speed drops below approximately 100 km/h
(62 mph) |
| • | 1 - Manual Lo provides maximum engine braking. You may also
select this range at any vehicle speed, but the transmission will not downshift
into First gear until the vehicle speed drops below approximately 60 km/h
(37 mph). |
