PREFACE
The Hydra-matic 8 Speed RWD Technician’s Guide is intended for

automotive technicians that are familiar with the operation of an automatic
transaxle or transmission. Technicians or other persons not having automatic
transaxle or transmission know-how may find this publication somewhat
technically complex if additional instruction is not provided. Since the
intent of this book is to explain the fundamental mechanical, hydraulic and
electrical operating principles, technical terms used herein are specific to
the transmission industry. However, words commonly associated with the
specific transaxle or transmission function have been defined in a Glossary
rather than within the text of this book.
The Hydra-matic 8 Speed RWD Technician’s Guide is also intended to assist

technicians during the service, diagnosis and repair of this transmission.
However, this book is not intended to be a substitute for other General
Motors service publications that are normally used on the job. Since there
is a wide range of repair procedures and technical specifications specific to
certain vehicles and transmission models, the proper service publication must
be referred to when servicing the Hydra-matic 8 Speed RWD transmission.

The four-element torque converter contains a pump, a
turbine, a pressure plate splined to the turbine, and a The hydraulic system primarily consists of an off axis
stator assembly. The torque converter acts as a fluid vane type pump, two control valve bodies, a converter
coupling to smoothly transmit power from the engine housing and a case. The pump maintains the working

The planetary gear sets provide the eight forward The friction components used in this transmission consist

fully automatic and is accomplished through the use combine to deliver nine (8 forward,1 reverse) different
of a Transmission Control Module (TCM) located gear ratios through the gear sets. The gear sets then
externally on transmission. The TCM receives and transfer torque through the output shaft.
EXPLANATION OF GEAR RANGES

N – Neutral position enables the engine to start and
operate without driving the vehicle. If necessary, this
position should be selected to restart the engine while
the vehicle is moving.
D – Drive range should be used for all normal driving
conditions for maximum efficiency and fuel economy.
Drive range allows the transmission to operate in each
of the eight forward gear ratios. Downshifts to a lower
gear, or higher gear ratio are available for safe passing
by depressing the accelerator or by manually selecting a
lower gear with the shift selector. In the Drive position,
the transmission will automatically upshift from first to
eighth, and downshift from eighth to first, according to
Figure 8 the normal shift pattern programmed in the TCM.

An automatic transmission is the mechanical and run without transferring torque to the
component of a vehicle that transfers power wheels. This situation occurs whenever Park (P)

MAJOR MECHANICAL COMPONENTS

The foldout graphic on page 10 contains a disassembled
drawing of the major components used in the Hydra-matic
8 Speed RWD transmission. This drawing, along with the
cross sectional illustrations on page 8 and 8A, show the
major mechanical components and their relationship to each
other as a complete assembly. Therefore, color has been
used throughout this book to help identify parts that are
splined together, rotating at engine speed, held stationary,
and so forth. Color differentiation is particularly helpful
when using the Power Flow section for understanding the
transmission operation.
The color legend below provides the “general” guidelines
that were followed in assigning specific colors to the
major components. However, due to the complexity of this
transmission, some colors (such as grey) were used for artistic
purposes rather than based on the specific function or location
of that component.
Components such as the Case Front Cover (4),

the Stator Shaft Support (14), the Case Extension

Components such as the Torque Converter

The Range Reference Chart on page 11, provides another
valuable source of information for explaining the overall
function of the Hydra-matic 8 Speed RWD transmission. This
chart highlights the major apply components and solenoids
that function in a selected gear range, and the specific
component operation within that gear range.
Included as part of this chart is the same color reference

to each major component that was previously discussed.
If a component is active in a specific gear range, a word
describing its activity will be listed in the column below that
component. The row where the activity occurs corresponds
to the appropriate transmission range and gear operation. An
abbreviated version of this chart can also be found at the top
of the descriptive text pages located in the Power Flow section.
This provides for a quick reference when reviewing the
mechanical and hydraulic power flow information contained
in that section.

ACCUMULATORS
Accumulators
In the 8 speed RWD, there are at least 8 accumulators (1- 13567
clutch accumulator, 7- solenoid VFS signal accumulators).
The 9th one is only on certain models (Surge accumulator).
The accumulators are used to control shift feel for the apply of
clutch assemblies and to help control throttle signal and line fluid
pressure. An accumulator is a fluid pressure operated component
that absorbs a certain amount of fluid pressure to cushion clutch
engagement or to help regulate fluid to a calibrated pressure.
Fluid pressure directed to an accumulator piston opposes spring
force to create an action similar to a shock absorber. During
the clutch apply, clutch apply fluid pressure moves the clutch
piston against the clutch piston spring and clutch plates. After
the clearance between the clutch plates is taken up by the clutch
piston travel and the clutch plates begin to hold, fluid pressure
in the circuit builds up rapidly. This clutch apply fluid pressure 392
395
is also directed to an accumulator assembly. As clutch apply
fluid pressure increases, the accumulator piston moves to an 393
intermediate position determined by the equilibrium between
clutch apply fluid pressure and accumulator spring force. The
movement of the accumulator piston delays the pressure buildup 394
in the circuit and allows for a more gradual clutch apply. Without
an accumulator in the circuit, this rapid buildup of clutch apply
fluid pressure would cause the clutch to grab very quickly and
create a harsh shift.

MANUAL SHIFT SHAFT POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY (604):
The manual shift shaft position switch assembly (604) is a sliding
contact switch attached to the manual shift shaft (601) inside the
transmission case. The four inputs to the TCM from the manual
shift shaft position switch assembly indicate which position is
selected by the transmission selector lever. This information is
used for engine controls as well as determining the transmission
shift patterns. The state of each input is available for display on
the scan tool. The four input parameters represented are Mode
A, Mode B, Mode C and Mode PA (P/N Start).
If the TCM detects an improper signal from the transmission

manual shift position shaft switch assembly, a DTC will be
activated.

Automatic Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor:

The TFT sensor is part of the automatic transmission wiring
harness assembly (313). The TFT sensor is a resistor, or
thermistor, which changes value based on temperature. The
sensor has a negative-temperature coefficient. This means that
as the temperature increases, the resistance decreases, and as
the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. The TCM
supplies a voltage reference signal to the sensor and measures the
voltage drop in the circuit. When the transmission fluid is cold,
the sensor resistance is high and the TCM detects high signal
WIRE voltage. As the fluid temperature warms to a normal operating
temperature, the resistance becomes less and the signal voltage
decreases. The TCM uses this information to maintain shift
quality and torque converter clutch apply quality over operating
temperature range.
If the TCM detects an improper signal from the TFT sensor,

a DTC will be activated.

SHIFT SOLENOIDS
The Hydra-matic 8 Speed RWD uses two electromagnetic shift PLUNGER

The shift solenoids are identical, normally-closed, 3-port, PRESSURE

solenoids to control the various shift and clutch regulator
valves. The TCM uses numerous inputs (as shown in Figure

transmission should be in. The following table shows the
typical ON/OFF solenoid state combination for each gear:

Opening the exhaust port decreases the output fluid

decreases line pressure. As current flow is decreased,

The current flow to the line PC solenoid is primarily NORMALLY-HIGH PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID

also inversely proportional to throttle position (engine

If the TCM detects a pressure control solenoid valve

MECHANICAL POWERFLOW FROM
THE TORQUE CONVERTER TO
THE TURBINE SHAFT
(Engine Running)
The mechanical power flow in the Hydra-matic transmission

begins at the point of connection between the torque converter
and the engine flywheel. When the engine is running, the torque
converter is forced to rotate at engine speed. As the torque
converter rotates it multiplies engine torque and transmits it to
the turbine shaft (57). The turbine shaft provides the primary
link to the mechanical operation of the transmission.
The Hydra-matic 8 Speed RWD automatic transmission
requires a constant supply of pressurized fluid to cool and
lubricate all of the components throughout the unit. It also
requires a holding force to be applied to the clutches during
the various gear range operations. The torque converter, fluid
pump assembly (301) and the control valve body assembly
(40) provide for the pressurization and distribution of fluid
throughout the transmission.
1 Power from the Engine

Torque from the engine is transferred to the transmission through
the engine flywheel which is bolted to the engine crankshaft.
2 Power to Drive the Fluid Pump

The fluid pump assembly (301) is splined to the drive link
assembly (9) which is keyed to the torque converter hub.
Therefore, the fluid pump assembly also rotates at engine speed.
3 Fluid Coupling Drives the Turbine

Transmission fluid inside the torque converter (1) creates a fluid
coupling which in turn drives the torque converter turbine.
4 Turbine Shaft Driven

As the torque converter turbine rotates, the turbine shaft (57),
which is splined to the torque converter turbine, is also forced to
rotate at turbine speed.
NOTE: To minimize the amount of repetitive text, the

remaining mechanical power flow descriptions will begin with
the turbine shaft (57). The transfer of torque from the engine
through the torque converter to the turbine shaft is identical
in all gear ranges except when the torque converter clutch
is applied (see pages 14 and 15 for complete explanation of
torque converter apply.

HYDRAULIC POWERFLOW – COMMON
FUNCTIONS FOR ALL RANGES
(Engine Running)
1 PRESSURE REGULATION
1a Pressure Regulator Valve:
Regulates pump output (line pressure) in response to S6 VFS
Signal fluid acting on the pressure regulation valve spring
force and line pressure acting on the end of the shuttle valve.
Line pressure is directed to the 2-3-4-6-8 control solenoid
valve assembly, 1-3-5-6-7 control solenoid valve assembly,
1-2-3-4-5 reverse control solenoid valve assembly, 1-2-7-8
reverse control solenoid valve assembly, actuator feed limit,
lube flow regulator valve and the surge accumulator (2016
models and above only). Line pressure is also routed through
the pressure regulator valve and into the converter feed fluid
circuit. Converter feed fluid is routed to the converter feed
limit valve.
1b Actuator Feed Limit Valve:
Line pressure at the actuator feed limit valve passes through
the valve and into the actuator feed limit circuit where
pressure is limited to a maximum specific value. Actuator
feed limit fluid is then routed to the 4-5-6-7-8 reverse control
solenoid valve assembly, 1-2-7-8 reverse control solenoid
valve assembly, line pressure control solenoid valve assembly,
1-2-3-4-5 reverse boost solenoid and default control solenoid
valve assembly.
1c Line Pressure Control Solenoid:
Controlled by the TCM, the line pressure control solenoid
regulates actuator feed limit fluid pressure into the S6 VFS
SIGNAL fluid circuit.
2. ACCUMULATION:
2a 1-3-5-6-7 Clutch Accumulator:
13567 CL/23468 CL FD fluid is routed through the 1-3-5-
6-7 control valve and into the 13567 CLUTCH fluid circuit.
13567 CLUTCH fluid is directed to the 1-3-5-6-7 clutch
accumulator applying pressure against the 1-3-5-6-7 clutch
accumulator spring force.
2b Surge Accumulator (2016 models and above only):
Line fluid is directed through orifice #54 unseating the #21
ball check valve. Line fluid continues through orifice #62 and
into the surge accumulator. (See figure 31 in the hydraulic
control section for more info).
3. TORQUE CONVERTER (RELEASED POSITION ONLY)
3a Converter Feed Limit Valve:
Converter feed fluid is routed through the valve and into
the converter feed limit circuit. Spring force and converter
feed fluid at the valve limits converter feed limit pressure to
a specific maximum pressure as it is routed to the lube flow
regulator valve and converter control valve.
3b Converter Control Valve:
Spring force holds the valve in the released position
allowing converter feed limit fluid to enter the release fluid
circuit.
3c Lube Flow Regulator Valve:
Line fluid applies pressure against the lube flow regulator
valve spring force, Allowing converter feed limit fluid into
the regulated lube circuit.
3d Converter Fault Valve:
Actuator feed fluid passes through the converter fault valve
and into the converter flow fluid circuit. The converter fault
valve insures converter release in the case of a stuck converter
control valve.
3e Torque Converter:
Release fluid is routed to the torque converter, keeping a
constant flow of fluid through the converter to keep it cool.
Fluid leaves the torque converter through the apply circuit
and passes through the converter control valve into the cooler
feed circuit. Cooler feed fluid is routed through the cooler
and into the regulated lube fluid circuit to provide lubrication
throughout the transmission.

The power flows through the turbine shaft into the 1-3-5-6-
7 clutch assembly (57) to the input carrier (67) through the
input carrier pinion gears which are driving the input internal
gear assembly (65). Powerflow continues through the direct
overdrive sun gear which is part of the input internal gear
assembly (65). The direct overdrive sun gear drives the direct/
overdrive carrier assembly (64) pinion gears.

Clutch Applied
The 1-2-7-8 reverse clutch and 1-2-3-4-5 reverse clutch
applied in Park in preparation for a shift into either 1st or
reverse. This aids shift timing as only one clutch will need
to be applied to achieve either range. The 8 Speed RWD is
designed to have three components applied for each gear
range, Also in each forward range, the design includes that
only one component will need to be applied as another
component releases.
NOTE: The vehicle should be completely stopped before selecting

Park range or internal damage to the transmission could occur.
Also, the manual linkage must be adjusted properly so the
indicator quadrants in the vehicle correspond with the manual
shaft detent lever (604) in the transmission. If not adjusted
properly, an internal leak between fluid passages at the manual
valve may cause a clutch to slip or cause the transmission to
not hold in park.
Refer to the appropriate General Motors Service Manual for the
proper manual linkage adjustment procedures.

FLUID PRESSURE DIRECTED IN PREPARATION FOR A SHIFT

1 Manual Valve:
Mechanically controlled by the gear selector lever, the manual
valve is in the Park (P) position and prevents line pressure
from the pressure regulator valve from entering the reverse
and drive circuits.
2a 1-2-7-8 Reverse Control Solenoid Valve Assembly:
(Low pressure, normally high) The 1-2-7-8 reverse control
solenoid is normally (HIGH) allowing actuator feed fluid
to enter the S1 VFS SIG fluid circuit which applies fluid
pressure against the S1 VFS ACCUM spring force and against
the 1278R control valve spring force. This allows line fluid to
pass through into the 1278R CLUTCH fluid circuit.
2b 1-2-7-8 Reverse Clutch Assembly:
1278R CLUTCH fluid is routed to the 1278 reverse clutch
piston to hold the piston against spring force which holds the
1278R clutch plates.
2c #14 Ball Check Valve:
Line fluid travels through the 1278R control valve orifice #40
into the 1278R CLU FDBK fluid circuit and into the #14 ball
check valve unseating the ball allowing fluid into the ACT
FEED circuit. When line is equal to or more than actuator
feed. This lowers pressure on the end of the valve and boosts
1278R clutch pressure.
3a 1-2-3-4-5 Reverse Control Solenoid Valve Assembly:
( High pressure, normally low) The 1-2-3-4-5 reverse control
solenoid is normally (LOW), when energized it allows line
pressure fluid to enter the S2 VFS SIG fluid circuit which
applies fluid pressure against the S2 VFS ACCUM spring
force and against the 12345R control valve spring force. This
allows line fluid to pass through into the 12345R CLUTCH
fluid circuit.
3b 1-2-3-4-5 Reverse Clutch Assembly:
12345R CLU fluid is routed to the 12345 reverse clutch
piston to hold the piston against spring force which holds
the 12345R clutch plates.

When the gear selector lever is moved to the Reverse (R) position (from
the Park position) the normally high 4-5-6-7-8 reverse control solenoid
valve and the 1-2-3-4-5 reverse boost solenoid is commanded ON and
the following changes occur in the transmission’s hydraulic and electrical
systems:
1 FLUID PRESSURE DIRECTED IN PREPARATION FOR A SHIFT
1a Manual Valve:
With the manual valve in the reverse position, line pressure
is directed into the reverse fluid circuit to the default override
valve, #1 ball check valve and the #2 ball check valve.
1b Default Override Valve:
Reverse fluid from the manual valve is routed to the default
override valve to combine with the default override valve spring
force to keep the valve in the off position.
Reverse fluid passes through orifice #61 to seat the #1 ball check
valve against the 23468 CLU fluid circuit allowing REV fluid to
enter the 23468 CL/REV fluid circuit. The 23468 CL/REV fluid
is routed to the default override valve. The 23468 CL/REV fluid
passes through the default override valve and into the 12345R
CL EX fluid circuit. The 12345R CL EX fluid is directed to the
12345R control valve.
1d #2 Ball Check Valve:
Reverse fluid seats the #2 ball check valve against the 45678R CL
DRIVE FD fluid circuit allowing reverse fluid to be routed into
the 45678 CLU FD fluid circuit. The 45678 CLU FEED fluid is
directed to the #13 ball check valve and through orifice #35 to the
45678R control valve.
2 45678 REVERSE CLUTCH APPLIES
2a 4-5-6-7-8 Reverse Control Solenoid:
The 4-5-6-7-8 reverse control solenoid de-energizes allowing
ACT FEED to enter the S5 VFS SIG fluid circuit which applies
fluid pressure against the S5 accumulator spring and through
orifice 25 to the 45678R control valve acting against 45678R
control valve spring pressure. This moves the 45678R valve and
allows C45678R feed oil to enter the 45678R clutch passage.
2b #12 Ball Check Valve:

Line fluid travels through the 45678R control valve orifice
#34 into the 45678R CLU FDBK fluid circuit and into the #12
ball check valve unseating the ball allowing fluid into the ACT
FEED circuit. When line is equal to or more than actuator feed.
This lowers pressure on the end of the valve and boosts 45678
R clutch pressure.

45678R CLU fluid enters orifice #55 and seats #10 ball check
valve against the 23468 CLU fluid circuit. This allows 45678R
CL fluid to enter the 45678R CL/23468 CL fluid circuit. 45678R
CL/23468 CL fluid passes through orifice #56 and into the
lube override enable valve. 45678R CL/23468 CL fluid applies
pressure against the lube override enable valve spring force.
45678R CL/23468 CL fluid also passes through orifice #57 and
into the default override valve.
2d 4-5-6-7-8 Reverse Clutch Assembly:
45678R CLU fluid is directed through orifice #42 into the 4-5-
6-7-8 rev clutch piston spring force which applies holding force
to the 4-5-6-7-8 rev clutch plates.

circuits. The reverse fluid from the default override valve,
#1 and #2 ball check valve is opened to a exhaust passage
at the manual valve.
1b 4-5-6-7-8 Reverse Control Solenoid:
(Low pressure, normally high) The 4-5-6-7-8 reverse control
solenoid is energized. The 45678 rev cont valve spring force
moves the valve to allow S5 VFS SIG fluid to exhaust through
the 45678 rev control solenoid. This also allows 45678R CL
FDBK and 45678R CLUTCH fluid to exhaust into the EX
BACKFILL fluid circuit.
1c # 10 Ball Check Valve:
When 45678R CLUTCH fluid is exhausted the #10 ball check
valve unseats allowing EXHAUST BACKFEED fluid to enter
the 45678R CL/23468 CL fluid circuit which is directed
through orifice #56 to the lube override enable valve and
through orifice #57 to the default override valve.
45678R CLUTCH fluid is exhausted from the 4-5-6-7-
8 reverse clutch assembly through orifice #42. 45678R
CLUTCH fluid continues to the 45678R control valve where
it is directed thru orifice #30 into EX BACKFILL.
1e Exhaust Backfill Blow-Off:
Orifice #11 feeds a constant oil flow from ACTUATOR FEED
circuit to the EXHAUST BACKFILL circuit. The blow-off
keeps that circuit regulated to a very low pressure.

2a 1-3-5-6-7 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly:
(High pressure, normally low) The 1-3-5-6-7 control solenoid
is energized allowing line fluid to enter the S3 VFS SIG fluid
circuit which applies fluid pressure against the S3 VFS SIG
accumulator spring force and against the 13567 control valve
spring force. This allows
13567 CL/23468 CL FD fluid to enter the 13567 clutch fluid

(Low pressure, normally high) The 4-5-6-7-8 reverse control
solenoid de-energizes allowing ACT FEED to enter the S5
VFS SIG fluid circuit which applies fluid pressure against the
S5 accumulator spring and through orifice #25 to the 45678R
control valve acting against 45678R control valve spring
pressure. This moves the 45678R valve and allows C45678R
feed oil to enter the 45678R clutch passage.

#12 ball check valve unseating the ball allowing fluid into
the ACT FEED circuit. When line is equal to or more than
actuator feed. This lowers pressure on the end of the valve
and boosts 45678 R clutch pressure.
45678R CLU fluid enters orifice #55 and unseats #10 ball
check valve. This allows 45678R CL fluid to enter the 45678R
CL/23468 CL fluid circuit. 45678R CL/23468 CL fluid passes
through orifice #56 and into the lube override enable valve.
45678R CL/23468 CL fluid applies pressure against the
lube override enable valve spring force. 45678R CL/23468
CL fluid also passes through orifice #57 and into the default
override valve.
45678R CLU fluid is directed through orifice #42 into the
4-5-6-7-8 rev clutch piston spring force which applies holding
force to the 4-5-6-7-8 rev clutch plates.

At the same time the normally-low 1-2-3-4-5 reverse control
solenoid and the normally-low 1-2-3-4-5 reverse boost solenoid
is commanded OFF.

The 2-3-4-6-8 control solenoid de-energizes allowing line
fluid to enter the S4 VFS SIG fluid circuit which applies
pressure against the s4 vfs accum spring force and against
the 23468 control valve spring force. This allows 13567
CL/23468 CL FD fluid to enter the 23468 CLU fluid circuit.
13567 CL/23468 CL FD fluid also passes thru the 23468
control valve orifice #39 into FDBK. 23468 CLUTCH fluid
is directed to the #10 ball check valve and thru orifice #44
to the 23468 clutch assembly housing.


VFS SIG fluid to exhaust. Spring pressure shifts the valve
to allow 12345R CLUTCH fluid to exhaust into 12345R
CLUTCH EX fluid circuit from the 1-2-3-4-5 reverse clutch
assembly housing.
2b 1-2-3-4-5 Reverse Clutch Assembly:

The 1-2-3-4-5 reverse clutch is released allowing 12345R
CLUTCH fluid to exhaust thru the 1-2-3-4-5 reverse control
solenoid.
2c 1-2-3-4-5 Reverse Boost Solenoid:

The 1-2-3-4-5 reverse boost solenoid is energized allowing
ACT FEED fluid to enter the S9 ON/OFF BOOST SIGNAL
fluid circuit.
2d 12345R Clu Boost Valve:

S9 ON/OFF BOOST SIGNAL fluid enters the 12345R clutch
boost valve applying pressure against the 12345R clutch
boost valve spring force. This allows 12345R CLU fluid
through orifice #33 into the 12345R clu boost valve then into
the 12345 CL KNOCKDOWN fluid circuit.

command ON the normally-low pressure control solenoid 4.

(High pressure, normally high) The 2-3-4-6-8 control
solenoid de-energizes allowing line fluid to enter the S4
VFS SIG fluid circuit which applies pressure against the s4
vfs accum spring force and against the 23468 control valve
spring force. This allows 13567 CL/23468 CL FD fluid to
enter the 23468 CLU fluid circuit. 23468 CLUTCH fluid is
1b # 10 Ball Check Valve:

The 23468 CLU fluid seats the #10 ball check valve against
the 45678R CLU fluid circuit. 23468 CLU fluid is also
directed to the #1 ball check valve.

23468 CLU fluid seats the #1 ball check valve against the
REV fluid circuit. This allows 23468 CLU fluid to enter the
23468 C/REV fluid circuit which is directed to the default
override valve.
1d Lube Override Enable Valve:

23468 CLU fluid enters the 45678R CL/23468 CL fluid
circuit from the #10 ball check valve. 45678R CL/23468 CLU
fluid passes thru orifice #56 to the lube override valve. Fluid
applies pressure against the lube override enable spring force.
45678R CL/23468 CL fluid is also directed thru orifice #57 to
the default override valve where it passes thru orifice #22 into
DFLT LATCH fluid circuit then to the #3 ball check valve.
1e # 3 Ball Check Valve:

Default Latch fluid seats the #3 ball check valve against the
S8 ON/OFF SIG fluid circuit. Allowing DEFAULT LATCH
fluid to enter the DFLT LATCH/S8 ON/OFF SIG fluid circuit.
DFLT LATCH/S8 ON/OFF SIG fluid passes thru orifice #23
to enter the default override valve applying pressure against
the default override valve spring force. This allows DRIVE
fluid to enter the 45678R CL DR FD circuit which seats the
#2 ball check valve against the REV circuit.
1f 2-3-4-6-8 Clutch Assembly:



The default control solenoid is signaled off allowing S8 ON/
OFF SIGNAL fluid to exhaust. The default override valve
continues to be held against spring pressure by latch pressure
from check ball #3.

At the same time the normally-low 1-3-5-6-7 control solenoid
is commanded OFF.
The 2-3-4-6-8 control solenoid energizes allowing line fluid
to enter the S4 VFS SIG fluid circuit which applies pressure
against the s4 vfs accum spring force and against the 23468

CL FD fluid to enter the 23468 CLU fluid circuit. 13567
CL/23468 CL FD fluid also passes thru the 23468 control
valve orifice #39 into FDBK. 23468 CLUTCH fluid is

the 2-3-4-6-8 clutch assembly housing. 23468 CLUTCH
fluid applies pressure against the 23468 clutch piston which
applies holding pressure to the 2-3-4-6-8 clutch plates.

EXPECTED OPERATING CONDITION IF COMPONENT IN COLUMN NUMBER IS INOPERATIVE:
COLUMN # CONDITION
1 NO 1ST, 3RD,5TH, 6TH AND 7TH GEARS.
2 NO 4TH, 5TH, 6TH, 7TH, 8TH AND REVERSE GEARS.
3 NO 2ND, 3RD, 4TH, 6TH AND 8TH GEARS.
4 NO 1ST, 2ND,7TH AND 8TH AND REVERSE GEARS.
5 NO 1ST, 2ND, 3RD, 4TH, 5TH AND REVERSE GEARS.
Electrical failure of any shift solenoid or pressure control solenoid will result in a default to the transmission protection mode.
HIGH SPEED DEFAULT GEAR - When the Default Valve is in the stroked position, default gear is 8th due to Solenoid S1, Solenoid S4,
and Solenoid S5 being NH (normally high control pressure) which applies 1278R, 23468, and 45678R clutches. The control system is
only latched in default 8th gear and this latch will be broken when the vehicle is shifted to Reverse or the engine is turned off (either
of these actions will cause the Default Valve to shift to its installed position).
LOW SPEED DEFAULT GEAR - When the Default Valve is in the installed position, default gear is 2nd due to:
1.) Solenoid S1 and Solenoid S4 being NH (normally high control pressure) which applies 1278R and 23468 clutches.
2.) 12345R being pressurized through the exhaust port on its clutch regulator valve from 23468 pressure flowing through the
Default Valve.
3.) 45678R supply pressure being exhausted through the Default Valve.
Mechanical failure within a shift solenoid or pressure control solenoid will again result with the transmission going into a protection
mode. Depending on the vehicle speed, transmission range, the component and which position it is stuck in, the transmission will
default to the optimum gear to allow safe operation.
Refer to the model specific service manual for specific codes and defaults.
