Main Pressure Regulator Valve
The 52 gpm (197 L/min) pump flow is supplied to the main pressure regulator
valve. This valve (located in the torque converter regulator valve assembly)
maintains main system pressures for the application of the transmission
clutches.
Please refer to Description and Specifications for designed pressure
Main system pressure, opposed by preset spring tension on the back
side of the regulator piston, causes the valve to open and cascade excess oil
into the torque converter circuit supply cavity, thereby maintaining system
pressure at the desired value. The 68 gpm (257 L/min) pump flow is supplied
to the torque converter regulator valve assembly to the flow divider valve. Lube
oil is supplied through a 0.438 inch diameter orifice from this supply. The flow
divider regulator valve maintains the appropriate lube pressure, and when this
is met, opens and cascades the remaining flow into the torque converter circuit
supply cavity.
Cold Oil Relief
A cold oil relief valve is located in the regulator valve body that senses pressure
at the torque converter pressure supply cavity. Excessive pressure causes the
valve to open and bypass oil back to the oil pump suction cavity which protects
the torque converter circuit from excessive pressure.
Converter Regulator Valve
The torque converter circuit oil pressure is regulated by the converter regulator
valve (located in the torque converter regulator valve assembly). This regulates
the converter circuit outlet pressure to the desired level, and the oil is then
discharged through the oil cooler and into the oil pump suction cavity at the
transmission.
Lube Regulator Valve
The lube regulator valve (also called the flow divider valve) maintains lube system
pressure at the desired level.
See the discussion above under Main Pressure
Regulator. Please refer to Description and Specifications for pressure limits.
Lube is provided for lubrication of bearings and splines, and for lubricating and
cooling clutches. The maximum lube pressure is limited by cascading the
excess oil to torque converter supply circuit cavity.
