The priority valve is fastened to the rear of the transmission selector and pressure control valve
group. Body (2) supports the bellcranks for the speed and direction spools. Body (2) is also a
manifold for oil going in and out of the pressure control valve.
The priority valve makes sure that the oil pressure is first available for steering and braking and
then for transmission operation.
Oil from the transmission charging section of the power train oil pump goes through the
transmission oil filter to inlet passage (1). From inlet passage (1) the oil goes through a hole in
spool assembly (5) into the chamber between poppet (6) and slug (7). The pressure oil can now
move spool assembly (5) to the right against the force of the spring. When the pressure of the oil
in the chamber becomes higher that the force of the spring, spool assembly (5) moves. The
movement of the spool lets pressure oil flow to outlet passage (4). From outlet passage (4) the
pressure oil goes to the transmission selector and pressure control valve.
