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.
The 3-4, 4-5 SS valve assembly is energized, causing fluid pressure to build-up in the S4 signal (17) fluid circuit.
S4 signal (17) fluid is routed through the U2 shift valve into the 345 enable (50) fluid circuit.
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.
Servo feed (44) fluid is routed through the U2 shift valve into the servo apply (45) fluid circuit.
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 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.
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 (39) fluid exhausts from the 1-2 reverse clutch assembly allowing the 1-2 reverse clutch to release.
1-2 reverse clutch (39) fluid also exhausts from the lock up relay valve in preparation for a possible torque converter clutch apply.
With the solenoid relay valve in the released position, lock up control (12) fluid is allowed to enter the TCC signal (13) fluid circuit.
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.
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 Drive and M Range - Third Gear is exactly the same as Drive Range - Third Gear.
