This action keeps the 2-3 shift valve in a closed position. In the drive position, this ball allows kick down pressure to enter the spring chamber of the 2-3 shift T.V. modulator valve kickdown valve. This action prevents the valve from modulating allowing full T.V. pressure to work on closing the 2-3 shift valve for a 3-2 kickdown This ball orifices intermediate clutch exhaust on a 3-1 or 2-1 downshift for a controlled release.

We have covered the updates in similar model transmissions where the check ball locations have changed. This manual covers most transmissions manufactured by General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Chrysler Corporation and some Import transmissions found in domestic vehicles. The information and part numbers contained in this booklet have been carefully compiled from industry sources known for their reliability, but ATSG does not guarantee its accuracy.
