When the gear selector lever is moved to Overdrive Range D, the manual valve moves and allows line pressure to fill the drive fluid circuit. Changes to the hydraulic and the electrical systems in the transmission are as follows:

Manual Valve

Mechanically controlled through the gear selector lever, the manual valve directs line pressure into the PRND43, the PRND4, and the drive circuits. Drive fluid pressure is then routed to checkball #5, to the forward orifice bypass valve, to the 1-2 shift valve, to the 2-3 shift valve, and through orifice #19.

Line fluid pressure closes the D4, the PRND4, and the PRND43 pressure switches, thereby completing their circuits. The sequence of open and closed switches provides input to the PCM, indicating the manual valve position.

Energized by the PCM (turned ON), high pressure in the fluid circuit of the 1-2 shift solenoid valve holds the 1-2 shift valve in the downshifted position. The same pressure holds the 3-4 shift valve in the upshifted position.

Held in the downshifted position, the 1-2 shift valve allows orificed Lo feed fluid to pass through the valve and enter the Lo & Rreverse band reduce passage. Lo & Reverse band reduce fluid is then routed to checkball #6. The fluid is also routed to the spring side of the Lo & Reverse servo piston.

De-energized by the PCM (turned OFF), the 2-3 shift solenoid valve allows high pressure to exhaust through the solenoid while maintaining low pressure in the circuit at the 1-2 shift valve.

Located in the valve body, drive fluid seats the #6 checkball against the spacer plate thereby routing drive fluid through orifice #1 into the forward clutch circuit. Forward clutch fluid is then routed to checkball #1 and to the forward clutch piston to apply the forward clutch.

Located in the accumulator housing, the #1 checkball is unseated by forward clutch pressure. This allows forward clutch fluid to actuate the forward accumulator piston.

Spring force holds the forward orifice valve closed. The valve opens under high pressure, and the valve routes drive fluid into the forward clutch circuit. This valve provides an additional feed into the forward clutch circuit in order to quickly apply and hold the forward clutch.

Forward clutch fluid actuates the forward accumulator piston during the apply of the forward clutch. Primary accumulator fluid on the spring side of the piston is forced back through its circuit to the 1-2 & 3-4 accumulator valve.

Biased by a torque signal and by orificed primary accumulator fluid pressures, this valve regulates the exhaust of primary accumulator fluid during the apply of the forward clutch.

A spring force holds tahe 2-3 shift valve in the downshifted position. This valve allows Lo feed fluid to pass through the valve and enter the Lo fluid passage. Lo fluid is then routed to checkball #8, where the fluid seats the checkball in order to prevent fluid from exhausting at the manual valve.

Lo & Reverse Servo

Lo & Reverse band reduce fluid from the 1-2 shift valve seats checkball #6 against the Lo & Reverse band apply passage. Fluid is then routed to the spring side of the Lo & Reverse servo piston, and into the reverse clutch circuit. In this gear range the Lo & Reverse band remains applied, despite the spring force and the Lo & Reverse band pressure acting on the Lo & Reverse servo piston.

The #6 checkball is held against the Lo & Reverse band apply circuit. The checkball routes fluid to the reverse clutch circuit. Reverse clutch fluid is then routed to the manual valve where the fluid exhausts.

Operating in the downshifted position, Lo & Reverse band apply fluid passes through the valve and enters the orificed PRN circuit. Orificed PRN fluid is the routed to the manual valve where the fluid exhausts.
