Transmission Hydraulic Control

(1) Number 1 clutch modulating valve (Reverse)

(2) Number 2 clutch modulating valve (Forward)

(3) Number 3 clutch modulating valve (Fourth Speed)

(4) Number 4 clutch modulating valve (Third Speed)

(5) Number 5 clutch modulating valve (Second Speed)

(6) Number 6 clutch modulating valve (First Speed)

(A) Transmission hydraulic control relief valve

(B) Modulating valves (transmission clutch)

(C) Torque converter inlet relief valve

(D) Torque converter outlet relief valve (if equipped)

The transmission hydraulic control controls the oil pressure to the torque converter, to the
transmission clutches, and to the lubrication circuits. The transmission hydraulic control also
controls the flow of oil to the clutches. The transmission hydraulic control is installed on the top
of the transmission planetary group and on the side of the torque converter housing. The
transmission hydraulic control consists of the following components: transmission hydraulic
control relief valve (A) , six modulating valves (B) , torque converter inlet relief valve (C) and
torque converter outlet relief valve (D) (if equipped).

Pressurized oil for the operation of the transmission hydraulic control flows from the
transmission oil pump to the transmission oil filter. The oil flows through a hose to the oil inlet
in the torque converter housing. The oil flows through internal passages in the torque converter
housing in order to supply transmission hydraulic control relief valve (A) with oil. The oil also
flows through internal passages in the transmission housing in order to supply the six modulating
valves (B) with oil.

The six modulating valves (B) are mounted on the top of the transmission under the cab. The six
transmission clutches have an individual modulating valve (B) . In order to move the machine, a
direction clutch solenoid and a speed clutch solenoid must be energized. The modulating valves
(B) are used to directly modulate the oil pressure that is sent to each individual clutch.

The following table provides the combination of the energized solenoids and engaged clutches
for each forward speed and for each reverse speed.
 Table 1
Speed Range and Direction     Clutches and Solenoids that are Engaged    
Fourth Speed Forward     3 and 2    
Third Speed Forward     4 and 2    
Second Speed Forward     5 and 2    
First Speed Forward     6 and 2    
Neutral     3  
First Speed Reverse     6 and 1    
Second Speed Reverse     5 and 1    
Third Speed Reverse     4 and 1    
Fourth Speed Reverse     3 and 1    

Transmission hydraulic control relief valve (A) controls the pressure of the oil that is supplied to
modulating valves (B) . The oil pressure overcomes the spring force of the transmission
hydraulic control relief valve. Torque converter inlet P3 oil then flows to the torque converter.

Torque converter inlet relief valve (C) limits P3 torque converter inlet oil pressure to a maximum
of 900 ± 70 kPa (130 ± 10 psi). Torque converter inlet relief valve (C) is located in the torque
converter housing. Transmission hydraulic control relief valve (A) is located above torque
converter inlet relief valve (C) . Transmission hydraulic control relief valve (A) must be removed
in order to attain access to the torque converter inlet relief valve (C) .

Reference: For additional information on the operation of the modulating valves, refer to the
Service Manual module for Systems Operation, "Power Train Electronic Control System" for the
1 1 -1

machine that is being serviced.
