GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only

As vehicle speed increases and operating conditions become appropriate, the TCM energizes the 3-4, 4-5 shift solenoid valve assembly (S4) to shift the transmission into Third gear. The manual valve remains in the DRIVE (D) position and line (2) pressure continues to feed the drive (19) fluid circuit.

3RD GEAR BAND (B4) ASSEMBLY APPLIES

3-4, 4-5 Shift Solenoid (SS) Valve Assembly (S4)

The 3-4, 4-5 SS valve assembly is energized, causing fluid pressure to build-up in the S4 signal (17) fluid circuit.

U2 Shift Valve

S4 signal (17) fluid is routed through the U2 shift valve into the 345 enable (50) fluid circuit.

U1 Shift Valve

345 enable (50) fluid is routed to the U1 shift valve and applies the valve against spring force, allowing PN12345 (47) fluid to pass through the valve into the servo feed (44) fluid circuit.

U2 Shift Valve

Servo feed (44) fluid is routed through the U2 shift valve into the servo apply (45) fluid circuit.

#9 Reverse Shift Restrict Ball Check Valve

Servo apply (45) fluid seats the reverse shift restrict ball check valve against the servo release (43) fluid passage and enters the 3rd gear band apply (46) fluid passage.

3rd Gear Band (B4) Servo Piston Assembly

3rd gear band apply (46) fluid is routed to the 3rd gear band servo piston assembly which applies the 3rd gear band assembly to hold the 4-5 clutch drum assembly.

1-2 REVERSE CLUTCH (B5) ASSEMBLY RELEASES

Solenoid Relay Valve

3rd gear band apply (46) fluid also passes through orifice #30 and, together with spring force, overcomes solenoid modulator (9) fluid pressure and moves the solenoid relay valve to the released position. This allows 1-2 reverse clutch (39) fluid to exhaust through the B5 control 2 (38) fluid circuit.

1-2 Reverse Clutch (B5) Assembly

1-2 reverse clutch (39) fluid exhausts from the 1-2 reverse clutch assembly allowing the 1-2 reverse clutch to release.

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH RELEASED

Lock Up Relay Valve

1-2 reverse clutch (39) fluid also exhausts from the lock up relay valve in preparation for a possible torque converter clutch apply.

Solenoid Relay Valve

With the solenoid relay valve in the released position, lock up control (12) fluid is allowed to enter the TCC signal (13) fluid circuit.

Lock Up Control Valve

TCC signal (13) fluid is routed through the lock up relay valve and on to the lock up control valve in preparation for a possible torque converter clutch apply.

FLUID PRESSURE DIRECTED IN PREPARATION FOR A SHIFT TO FOURTH GEAR

1-2, 2-3, Reverse Shift Solenoid (SS) Valve Assembly (S3):

Drive (19) fluid passes through orifice #24 into the S3 signal (16) fluid circuit in preparation for a shift. The normally closed 1-2, 2-3, reverse SS valve assembly is energized (ON), allowing any fluid pressure in the S3 signal (16) fluid circuit to exhaust through the solenoid.

Important: Power flow for Intermediate Range - Third Gear is exactly the same as Drive Range - Third Gear.
