The Hydra-matic 4T40-E Technicians Guide is intended for
automotivetechnicians that are familiar with the operation of an
automatic transaxle ortransmission. Technicians or other persons
not having automatic transaxleor transmission know-how may find
this publication somewhat technicallycomplex if additional
instruction is not provided. Since the intent of thisbook is to
explain the fundamental mechanical, hydraulic and
electricaloperating principles, technical terms used herein are
specific to thetransmission industry. However, words commonly
associated with thespecific transaxle or transmission function have
been defined in a Glossaryrather than within the text of this
book.
The Hydra-matic 4T40-E Technicians Guide is intended to assist
techniciansduring the service, diagnosis and repair of this
transaxle. However, thisbook is not intended to be a substitute for
other General Motors servicepublications that are normally used on
the job. Since there is a wide rangeof repair procedures and
technical specifications specific to certain vehiclesand transaxle
models, the proper service publication must be referred towhen
servicing the Hydra-matic 4T40-E transaxle.

The Hydra-matic 4T40-E Technicians Guide isanother Powertrain
publication from the TechniciansGuide series of books. The purpose
of thispublication, as is the case with other TechniciansGuides, is
to provide complete information on thetheoretical operating
characteristics of this transaxle.Operational theories of the
mechanical, hydraulicand electrical components are presented in
asequential and functional order to better explain theiroperation
as part of the system.
In the first section of this book entitled Principlesof
Operation, exacting explanations of the majorcomponents and their
functions are presented. Inevery situation possible, text describes
componentoperation during the apply and release cycle as wellas
situations where it has no effect at all. Thedescriptive text is
then supported by numerousgraphic illustrations to further
emphasize theoperational theories presented.
The second major section entitled Power Flow,blends the
information presented in the Principlesof Operation section into
the complete transaxleassembly. The transfer of torque from the
enginethrough the transaxle is graphically displayed on afull page
while a narrative description is provided ona facing half page. The
opposite side of the halfpage contains the narrative description of
the
hydraulic fluid as it applies components or shiftsvalves in the
system. Facing this partial page is ahydraulic schematic that shows
the position of valves,checkballs, etc., as they function in a
specific gearrange.
The third major section of this book displays theComplete
Hydraulic Circuit for specific gearranges. Fold-out pages
containing fluid flowschematics and two dimensional illustrations
of majorcomponents graphically display hydraulic circuits.This
information is extremely useful when tracingfluid circuits for
learning or diagnosis purposes.
The Appendix section of this book providesadditional transaxle
information regarding lubricationcircuits, seal locations,
illustrated parts lists and more.Although this information is
available in currentmodel year Service Manuals, its inclusion
providesfor a quick reference guide that is useful to
thetechnician.
Production of the Hydra-matic 4T40-E TechniciansGuide was made
possible through the combinedefforts of many staff areas within the
General MotorsPowertrain Division. As a result, the
Hydra-matic4T40-E Technicians Guide was written to providethe user
with the most current, concise and usableinformation available
regarding this product.

INTRODUCTION

Principles of Operation section by showingspecific fluid
circuits that enable the mechanicalcomponents to operate. The
mechanical powerflow is graphically displayed on a full size
pageand is followed by a half page of descriptive text.The opposite
side of the half page contains thenarrative description of the
hydraulic fluid as itapplies components or moves valves in the
system.Facing this partial page is a hydraulic schematicwhich shows
the position of valves, checkballs,etc., as they function in a
specific gear range.Also, located at the bottom of each half page
is areference to the Complete Hydraulic Circuitsection that
follows.
The Complete Hydraulic Circuits section(beginning on page 81)
details the entire hydraulicsystem. This is accomplished by using a
fold-outcircuit schematic with a facing page twodimensional
fold-out drawing of each component.The circuit schematics and
component drawingsdisplay only the fluid passages for that
specificoperating range.
Finally, the Appendix section contains a schematicof the
lubrication flow through the transaxle,disassembled view parts
lists and transaxlespecifications. This information has been
includedto provide the user with convenient referenceinformation
published in the appropriate vehicleService Manuals. Since
component parts listsand specifications may change over time,
thisinformation should be verified with ServiceManual
information.
First time users of this book may find the page layouta little
unusual or perhaps confusing. However, witha minimal amount of
exposure to this format itsusefulness becomes more obvious. If you
areunfamiliar with this publication, the followingguidelines are
helpful in understanding the functionalintent for the various page
layouts:
Read the following section, Understanding theGraphics to know
how the graphic illustrationsare used, particularly as they relate
to themechanical power flow and hydraulic controls(see
Understanding the Graphics page 6).
Unfold the cutaway illustration of the Hydra-matic 4T40-E (page
8) and refer to it as youprogress through each major section.
Thiscutaway provides a quick reference of componentlocation inside
the transaxle assembly and theirrelationship to other
components.
The Principles of Operation section (beginning onpage 9A)
presents information regarding the majorapply components and
hydraulic controlcomponents used in this transaxle. This
sectiondescribes how specific components work andinterfaces with
the sections that follow.
The Power Flow section (beginning on page 53)presents the
mechanical and hydraulic functionscorresponding to specific gear
ranges. Thissection builds on the information presented in the

UNDERSTANDING THE GRAPHICS
The flow of transaxle fluid starts in the bottom panand is drawn
through the filter, case assembly, channelplate assembly, spacer
plate and gaskets, control valveassembly and into the oil pump
assembly. This is abasic concept of fluid flow that is easily
understoodby reviewing the illustrations provided in Figure
2.However, fluid may pass between the valve body,spacer plate,
channel plate and other componentsmany times before reaching a
valve or applying aclutch. For this reason, the graphics are
designed toshow the exact location where fluid passes through
acomponent and into other passages for specific gearrange
operation.
To provide a better understanding of fluid flow in
theHydra-matic 4T40-E transaxle, the components involvedwith
hydraulic control and fluid flow are illustrated inthree major
formats. Figure 3 (page 7-7A) provides anexample of these formats
which are:
A three dimensional line drawing of thecomponent for easier part
identification.
A two dimensional line drawing of the componentto indicate fluid
passages and orifices.
6
A graphic schematic representation that displaysvalves,
checkballs, orifices and so forth, requiredfor the proper function
of the transaxle in a specificgear range. In the schematic
drawings, fluidcircuits are represented by straight lines
andorifices are represented by indentations in a circuit.All
circuits are labeled and color coded to providereference points
between the schematic drawingand the two dimensional line drawing
of thecomponents.
Figure 4 (page 7B) provides an illustration oftypical valve,
bushing and valve train components.A brief description of valve
operation is alsoprovided to support the illustration.
Figure 5 (page 7B) provides a color coded chartthat references
different fluid pressures used tooperate the hydraulic control
systems. A briefdescription of how fluid pressures affect
valveoperation is also provided.

HYDRA-MATIC 4T40-ECROSS SECTIONAL DRAWING
A cross sectional line drawing is typically the standardmethod
for illustrating either an individual mechanicalcomponent or a
complete transaxle assembly. However,unless a person is familiar
with all the individualcomponents of the transaxle, distinguishing
componentsmay be difficult in this type of drawing. For thisreason,
a three dimensional perspective illustration(shown on page 8) is
the primary drawing usedthroughout this book.
The purpose for this type of illustration is to provide amore
exacting graphic representation of each componentand to show their
relationship to other componentswithin the transaxle assembly. It
is also useful for
understanding the cross sectional line drawing bycomparing the
same components from the threedimensional perspective illustration.
In this regard itbecomes an excellent teaching instrument.
Additionally, all the illustrations contained in this bookuse a
color scheme that is consistent throughout thisbook. In other
words, regardless of the type ofillustration or drawing, all
components have an assignedcolor and that color is used whenever
that componentis illustrated. This consistency not only helps to
providefor easy component identification but it also enhancesthe
graphic and color continuity between sections.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The transaxle can be operated in any one of the sevendifferent
positions shown on the shift quadrant(Figure 8).P Park position
enables the engine to be started whilepreventing the vehicle from
rolling either forward orbackward. For safety reasons, the vehicles
parkingbrake should be used in addition to the transaxle
Parkposition. Since the final drive differential and outputshaft
are mechanically locked to the case through theparking pawl and
final drive internal gear, Park positionshould not be selected
until the vehicle has come to acomplete stop.R Reverse enables the
vehicle to be operated in arearward direction.N Neutral position
enables the engine to start andoperate without driving the vehicle.
If necessary, thisposition should be selected to restart the engine
whilethe vehicle is moving.D Overdrive range should be used for all
normal
driving conditions for maximum efficiency and fueleconomy.
Overdrive range allows the transaxle to operatein each of the four
forward gear ratios. When operatingin the Overdrive range, shifting
to a lower or higher gearratio is accomplished by depressing the
accelerator.
It is not recommended that the transaxle be operated inOverdrive
range when pulling heavy loads or drivingon extremely hilly
terrain. Typically these conditionsput an extra load on the engine,
therefore the transaxleshould be driven in a lower manual range
selection formaximum efficiency.3 Manual Third should be used when
drivingconditions dictate that it is desirable to use only
threegear ratios. These conditions include towing a trailer
ordriving on hilly terrain as described above. This rangeis also
helpful for engine braking when descendingslight grades. If the
vehicle is in fourth gear it willimmediately shift to third when
Manual Third isselected. Automatic shifting is the same as in
Overdriverange for first, second and third gears except
thetransaxle will not shift into fourth gear.2 Manual Second should
be used when drivingconditions dictate that it is more desirable to
use onlytwo gear ratios. It has the same starting ratio (firstgear)
as Manual Third but the transaxle is preventedfrom shifting above
second gear at normal throttleopening. If the transaxle is in third
or fourth gear,when Manual Second is selected, it will shift to
secondgear below approximately 100 kmh (62 mph). ManualSecond can
be selected for engine braking as required.1 Manual First can be
selected at any vehicle speed.If the transaxle is in second, third
or fourth gear it willshift into first gear below approximately 60
kmh (37mph). This is particularly beneficial for maintainingmaximum
engine braking when descending steep grades.

EXPLANATION OF RANGES
The PCM commands shift solenoids, within thetransaxle, on and
off to control shift timing. The PCMalso controls the apply and
release of the torqueconverter clutch which allows the engine to
deliver themaximum fuel efficiency without sacrificing
vehicleperformance.The hydraulic system primarily consists of a
vane typepump, control valve body and channel plate. The
pumpmaintains the working pressures needed to stroke theservos and
clutch pistons that apply or release thefriction components. These
friction components (whenapplied or released) support the automatic
shiftingqualities of the transaxle.The friction components used in
this transaxle consistof five multiple disc clutches and two bands.
Themultiple disc clutches combine with three mechanicalcomponents,
two roller clutches and a sprag clutch, todeliver five different
gear ratios through gear sets. Thegear sets then transfer torque
through the final drivedifferential and out to the drive axles.
The Hydra-matic 4T40-E is a fully automatic, fourspeed, front
wheel drive transaxle. It consists primarilyof a four-element
torque converter, two planetary gearsets, a hydraulic
pressurization and control system,friction and mechanical clutches
and, a final driveplanetary gear set with a differential
assembly.The four-element torque converter contains a pump,
aturbine, a pressure plate splined to the turbine, and astator
assembly. The torque converter acts as a fluidcoupling to smoothly
transmit power from the engineto the transaxle. It also
hydraulically provides additionaltorque multiplication when
required. The pressure plate,when applied, provides a mechanical
direct drivecoupling of the engine to the transaxle.The two
planetary gear sets provide the four forwardgear ratios and
reverse. Changing gear ratios is fullyautomatic and is accomplished
through the use of aPowertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM
receivesand monitors various electronic sensor inputs anduses this
information to shift the transaxle at theoptimum time.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
An automatic transaxle is the mechanicalcomponent of a vehicle
that transfers power(torque) from the engine to the wheels.
Itaccomplishes this task by providing a numberof forward gear
ratios that automaticallychange as the speed of the vehicle
increases.The reason for changing forward gear ratiosis to provide
the performance and economyexpected from vehicles manufactured
today.On the performance end, a gear ratio thatdevelops a lot of
torque (through torquemultiplication) is required in order to
initiallystart a vehicle moving. Once the vehicle is inmotion, less
torque is required in order tomaintain the vehicle at a certain
speed. Oncethe vehicle has reached a desired speed,economy becomes
the important factor andthe transaxle will shift into overdrive. At
thispoint output speed is greater than input speed,and, input
torque is greater than output torque.
Another important function of the automatictransaxle is to allow
the engine to be started
and run without transferring torque to thewheels. This situation
occurs whenever Park(P) or Neutral (N) range has been
selected.Also, operating the vehicle in a rearwarddirection is
possible whenever Reverse (R)range has been selected (accomplished
by thegear sets).The variety of ranges in an automatic transaxleare
made possible through the interaction ofnumerous mechanically,
hydraulically andelectronically controlled components inside
thetransaxle. At the appropriate time and sequence,these components
are either applied or releasedand operate the gear sets at a gear
ratio consistentwith the drivers needs. The following pagesdescribe
the theoretical operation of themechanical, hydraulic and
electrical componentsfound in the Hydra-matic 4T40-E transaxle.When
an understanding of these operatingprinciples has been attained,
diagnosis of thesetransaxle systems is made easier.

To reduce torsional shock during the apply of the pressure
plateto the converter cover, a spring loaded damper assembly (F)
isused. The pressure plate is attached to the pivoting mechanismof
the damper assembly which allows the pressure plate torotate
independently of the damper assembly up to approxi-mately 45
degrees. During engagement, the springs in the damperassembly
cushion the pressure plate engagement and also re-duce irregular
torque pulses from the engine or road surface.
PRESSURE PLATE, DAMPER AND CONVERTER HOUSINGCOVER ASSEMBLIESThe
pressure plate is splined to the turbine hub and applies(engages)
with the converter cover to provide a mechanicalcoupling of the
engine to the transaxle. When the pressure plateassembly is
applied, the small amount of slippage that occursthrough a fluid
coupling is eliminated, thereby providing a moreefficient transfer
of engine torque to the drive wheels.
TORQUE CONVERTERThe torque converter (55) is the primary
componentfor transmittal of power between the engine and
thetransaxle. It is bolted to the engine flywheel so that itwill
rotate at engine speed. Some of the major functionsof the torque
converter are: to provide for a smooth conversion of torque from
the
engine to the mechanical components of the transaxle to multiply
torque from the engine enabling the vehicle
to achieve additional performance when required to mechanically
operate the transaxle oil pump through
the pump drive shaft (19) to provide a mechanical link, or
direct drive,
from the engine to the transaxle throughthe use of a Torque
ConverterClutch (TCC)
The torque converterassembly is made upof the following fivemain
subassemblies: a converter pump assembly
(A) which is the driving member a turbine assembly (D) which
is the driven or output member a stator assembly (C) which is
the
reaction member located between thepump (A) and turbine (D)
assemblies
a pressure plate assembly (G) splinedto the turbine assembly (D)
to enable directmechanical drive
a converter housing cover assembly (J) which is weldedto the
converter pump assembly (A)
CONVERTER PUMP ASSEMBLY AND TURBINEASSEMBLYWhen the engine is
running, the converter pumpassembly acts as a centrifugal pump by
picking upfluid at it's center and discharging it at it's rim,
betweenthe blades. The force of this fluid then hits the
turbineblades and causes the turbine to rotate. As the engineand
converter pump increase RPM, so does the turbine.
Torque converterfailure could causeloss of drive andor loss of
power.

STATOR ASSEMBLYThe stator assembly is located between thepump
assembly and turbine assembly, and ismounted on a one-way roller
clutch. Thisone-way roller clutch allows the stator torotate in one
direction and prevents (holds)the stator from rotating in the other
direction.The function of the stator is to redirect fluidreturning
from the turbine in order to assistthe engine in turning the
converter pumpassembly.At low vehicle speeds when greater torqueis
needed, fluid from the turbine hits thefront side of the stator
blades (the converteris multiplying torque). At this time, the
one-way roller clutch prevents the stator fromrotating in the same
direction as the fluidflow, thereby redirecting fluid to assist
theengine in turning the converter pump. Inthis mode, fluid leaving
the converter pumphas more force to turn the turbine assemblyand
multiply engine torque.As vehicle speed increases and less torque
isrequired, centrifugal force acting on the fluidchanges the
direction of the fluid leaving theturbine such that it hits the
back side of thestator blades (converter at coupling speed).When
this occurs, the roller clutch overrunsand allows the stator to
rotate freely. Fluidis no longer being redirected to the
converterpump and engine torque is not beingmultiplied.

APPLYWhen the PCM determines that the vehicle is at theproper
speed for the torque converter clutch to apply itsends a signal to
the TCC PWM solenoid. The TCCPWM solenoid then routes line fluid
from the pump tothe apply passage of the torque converter. The
applypassage is a hole between two seals on the turbineshaft. The
fluid flows inside the turbine shaft within anoil sleeve, then out
of the sleeve and into the converterhub/drive sprocket support.
Fluid passes through a holein the support and into the torque
converter on theapply side of the pressure plate assembly.Apply
fluid pressure forces the pressure plate againstthe torque
converter cover to provide a mechanicallink between the engine and
the turbine. Releasefluid is then routed out of the torque
converterbetween the turbine shaft and the pump shaft.The TCC apply
should occur in fourth gear (alsothird gear in some applications),
and should not applyuntil the transaxle fluid has reached a
minimumoperating temperature of 8C (46F) and the enginecoolant
temperature reaches 50C (122F).For more information on TCC apply
and release, seeOverdrive Range Fourth Gear TCC Released
andApplied, pages 70-71.
RELEASEWhen the torque converter clutch is released, fluid isfed
into the torque converter by the pump into therelease fluid
passage. The release fluid passage islocated between the oil pump
drive shaft (19) and theturbine shaft (39). Fluid travels between
the shafts andenters the release side of the pressure plate at the
endof the turbine shaft. The pressure plate is forced awayfrom the
converter cover and allows the torque converterturbine to rotate at
speeds other than engine speed.
The release fluid then flows between the frictionelement on the
pressure plate and the converter coverto enter the apply side of
the torque converter. Thefluid then exits the torque converter
through the applypassage which goes into the drive sprocket
supportand on through an oil sleeve within the turbine shaft.This
fluid now travels to the valve body and on tothe oil cooler.
Once the TCC is applied there is no torque converter
fluidcoupling assistance. Engine or driveline vibration could
beunnoticeable before TCC engagement.
-
The primary function of any apply component is to holdor cause
to drive, a member of a planetary gear set.
The Apply Components section is designed toexplain the function
of the hydraulic and mechanicalholding devices used in the
Hydra-matic 4T40-Etransaxle. Some of these apply components, such
asclutches and bands, are hydraulically applied andreleased in
order to provide automatic gear rangeshifting. Other components,
such as a roller clutchor sprag clutch, often react to a
hydraulically appliedcomponent by mechanically holding or
releasinganother member of the transaxle. This interactionbetween
the hydraulically and mechanically appliedcomponents is explained
in detail and supported witha graphic illustration. In addition,
this section shows
the routing of fluid pressure to the individualcomponents and
their internal operation when thecomponent applies or releases.
The sequence in which the components in this sectionhave been
discussed coincides with their physicalarrangement inside the

Apply FluidThis fluid travels through the driven sprocket support
to a holein the input shaft, between the 3rd and 4th oil seal rings
(500),and on to the coast clutch to apply the piston.
Worn or improperly installed oil seal rings can greatly affect
theapply force and lubrication capabilities of the fluid in
thetransaxle.
Damaged or leaking seals (500) can cause no third gear/slips
inthird, or no coast clutch apply/slipping in all manual
ranges.
Porosity or leaking 2nd clutch piston seals can cause no
second/slips in second.
Damaged or leaking seals (403) can cause no reverse gear/slipsin
reverse.
Along with being the housing for the 2nd clutch and a supportfor
the driven sprocket, the driven sprocket support acts as
astationary fluid routing component, delivering fluid to
rotatingcomponents. This is accomplished through a series of
passagesand seals within the sprocket support, the reverse clutch
assemblyand the direct and coast clutch assembly.
Reverse Clutch Fluid PassageReverse clutch fluid flows through
the driven sprocket support,exits through a hole, between the oil
seal rings (403), and entersthe reverse clutch housing to apply the
reverse clutch.
Lube 1 Fluid PassagesLube 1 fluid travels through the driven
sprocket support andexits through a hole to lubricate bushings and
parts in thisregion of the transaxle.
Lube 1 fluid also travels through another passage in the
drivensprocket support to a hole, between the first and second oil
sealrings (500), in the input housing shaft. This fluid lubricates
thebushings in this area of the transaxle (see Lubrication
Pointspage 104).

2ND CLUTCH RELEASE:The 2nd clutch releases whenever thetransaxle
shifts into First gear, or whenthe selector lever is moved into the
Park,Reverse, or Neutral ranges. As the 2ndclutch releases, 2nd
clutch fluid pressurebetween the 2nd clutch piston assemblyand
driven sprocket support exhauststhrough the support. In the absence
offluid pressure, force from the spring
assembly causes the 2nd clutch piston tomove away from the
clutch plates. Thepiston movement causes the clutch platesto lose
contact with the backing platethereby releasing the 2nd clutch.
Component failure can cause nosecond/slips in second.
2ND CLUTCH:The 2nd clutch assembly (404-406 &96-99), located
between the drivensprocket support (401) and the reverseclutch
housing and race assembly (102),is applied whenever the transaxle
isoperating in Overdrive Range Second,Third or Fourth gear. It is
also appliedin Manual Second Range-Second gearand Third gear,
Manual Third Range-Second and Third gear and Manual
FirstRange-Second and Third gear.2ND CLUTCH APPLY:To apply the 2nd
clutch, 2nd clutch fluidis routed into the driven sprocket
support(401) behind the 2nd clutch pistonassembly (404). Fluid
pressure movesthe piston and compresses the springassembly (405).
The piston continues tomove until it compresses the 2nd clutchwaved
plate (96) and holds the fiberplates (98) and steel plates (97)
againstthe backing plate (99).When fully applied, the 2nd
clutchprovides power through the planetary gearsets by holding the
2nd roller clutch cam(451) through the internal teeth on thefiber
clutch plates. (The external teethon the steel clutch plates are
splined intothe transaxle case.) This arrangementallows Second gear
by redirecting powerthrough the reaction carrier.

2ND ROLLER CLUTCH ASSEMBLY HOLDING (the reactionsun gear):The
2nd clutch assembly (96-99 & 404-406) has fiber plates
withinternal teeth splined to the 2nd roller clutch cam (451), and
steelplates that are splined to the case. The 2nd roller clutch
innerrace is part of the reverse clutch housing (454), which
rotates inthe opposite direction of engine rotation during First
gear opera-tion. When the 2nd clutch applies, internal teeth on the
2ndclutch fiber plates hold the 2nd roller clutch cam stationary.
Thereverse clutch housing is then prevented from rotating in a
direc-tion opposite to engine rotation because the rollers are
forced towedge between the inner race and lowest part of the cam
ramps.
When the 2nd roller clutch is mechanically locked up, it
holdsthe reaction sun gear and shell assembly (529) through
thereverse clutch housing. This arrangement directs power flow
tothe reaction carrier assembly in Second gear.
2ND ROLLER CLUTCH ASSEMBLY RELEASED:The 2nd roller clutch
assembly releases whenever the 2nd clutchreleases, or its rollers
overrun (freewheel). An overrunningcondition occurs whenever the
transaxle operates in Third gearwhere the 2nd clutch is not used
for power flow through thegear sets. While operating in Third gear,
the reverse clutchhousing rotates in the direction of engine
rotation. When thisoccurs, the rollers are forced to rotate in the
opposite directionwhich disengages the inner race from the outer
cam. Therollers freewheel when this condition occurs.
Roller clutch damaged, not holding can cause no Overdriverange
second/slips in second.
Note: Manual second will be available.

With the clutch released, the reverseclutch ball capsule is
forced off its seatby centrifugal force (rotation of thehousing).
When the checkball unseats,residual reverse clutch fluid is forced
tothe outer perimeter of the piston andexhausts through the
checkball seat. (Ifthis fluid did not completely exhaust therecould
be a partial apply, or drag of thereverse clutch plates.)Clutch not
releasing can cause drive inneutral.
Clutch not applying can cause noreverse/slips in reverse.
REVERSE CLUTCH:The reverse input clutch assembly (102),is
applied only when Reverse range isselected through the gear shift
selectorlever, but the reverse clutch housing actsas part of the
holding member of thereaction sun gear.
REVERSE CLUTCH APPLY (drives thereaction sun gear):To apply the
reverse clutch, reverse clutchfluid is routed into the driven
sprocketsupport (401) and follows a passagebetween the support and
support sleeve.Reverse clutch fluid exits the support at afeed hole
located between two oil seal rings(403) and enters the reverse
clutch housingthrough feed holes located in the reverseclutch
housing between the two bearingsurfaces. Reverse clutch fluid then
entersthe inner apply area between the piston(457) and center
retainer & seal assembly(456). The center retainer & seal
assembly(456) has an orifice that allows fluid toenter the outer
area of the piston. Thisorifice system allows a controlled rate
ofapply to create a smoother shift feel.Reverse clutch fluid
compresses the airtrapped in the outer piston area until fluidand
air pressure seat the ball, which allowsfluid pressure to move the
piston andcompress the spring & retainer assembly(458). The
piston continues to move untilthe spring & retainer assembly
compressesthe reverse clutch waved plate (460), andholds the steel
clutch plates (461) and fiberclutch plates (462) against the
selectivebacking plate (463).When fully applied, the reverse
clutchcombines with the lo/reverse servoassembly (66-73) and
lo/reverse band (111)to enable a reverse direction of rotationand
power through the gear sets. (See Lo/Reverse Servo and Lo/Reverse
Banddescription on page 25.)
REVERSE CLUTCH RELEASE:The reverse clutch releases whenever
theselector lever is moved into another rangeand reverse clutch
fluid, between thehousing and reverse clutch piston, isforced back
through the feed holes intothe driven sprocket support.
Releasefluid is allowed to slip by the outerportion of the center
retainer & sealassembly (456) to allow a quick release.In the
absence of fluid pressure, forcefrom the spring and retainer
assemblycauses the reverse clutch piston to moveaway from the
clutch plates. The pistonmovement causes the clutch plates to

towards the intermediate/4th band. As theservo piston moves, it
compresses the spring(75) until the pin travels far enough
tocompress the intermediate/4th band. Theband is wrapped around the
reverse inputclutch housing and when it is compressed, itholds the
housing stationary.
When the transaxle is operating in Fourthgear and the
intermediate/4th band is holdingthe reverse clutch housing, power
is directedthrough the reaction carrier to the input carrierin
order to provide an overdrive gear ratio.When the intermediate/4th
band is appliedfor engine compression braking in ManualSecond
Range-Second gear and Manual FirstRange-Second Gear, the band is
used toprevent the reverse clutch housing fromrotating and
overrunning the 2nd roller clutch.
INTERMEDIATE/4TH SERVO RELEASE:The intermediate/4th servo
releases wheneverthe transaxle shifts out of Fourth gear into
alower gear (excluding Manual Second Range-Second gear and Manual
First Range-SecondGear). The band releases when 4th band
fluidpressure or intermediate band fluid pressure,between the servo
cover and servo piston, isrouted through the case to exhaust from
thecircuit. The return spring forces the intermediate/4th servo
piston away from the intermediate/4th band thereby releasing the
band.
INTERMEDIATE/4TH SERVO ASSEMBLY:The intermediate/4th servo
assembly (75-80),located in the bottom of the transaxle in thefront
of the case (51), applies the intermediate/4th band (100) in
Overdrive Range-Fourth gearor Manual Second Range-Second gear
andManual First Range-Second Gear.
INTERMEDIATE/4TH BAND:The intermediate/4th band (100),
locatedinside the case, is wrapped around the reverseinput clutch
assembly (102) and held inposition by a machined area, in the case,
inwhich the band anchor end fits. When theband is compressed by the
intermediate/4thservo pin, it holds the reverse clutch housingin
order to operate the transaxle in fourthgear, or for engine
compression braking inManual Second Range-Second gear andManual
First Range- Second Gear.
INTERMEDIATE/4TH SERVO APPLY(holds the reaction sun gear):To
apply the intermediate/4th servo assemblyin Overdrive Range-Fourth
gear, 4th bandfluid is routed through the valve body (18),channel
plate (27), and case (51) to a feedhole located in the servo cover
(80) at theouter apply area of the servo piston (77). InManual
Second Range-Second gear andManual First Range-Second
Gear,intermediate band fluid is routed through thevalve body (18),
channel plate (27), and case(51) to a feed hole located in the
servo cover(80) at the inner apply area of the servo piston(77).

No servo apply cancause no 4th/slips in4th gear.

When fully applied, the direct clutchplates force the direct
clutch housing andreaction carrier shaft shell (526) to rotateat
turbine speed (depending on chainratio). The reaction carrier shaft
shell issplined into the reaction carrier andcombines with the
input sun gear (533)to power the gear sets at a 1:1 gear ratio.
DIRECT CLUTCH RELEASE:The direct clutch releases whenever
thetransaxle downshifts into Second or Firstgear, or when the
selector lever is movedinto the Park, Reverse, or Neutral
ranges.Direct clutch fluid pressure between thepiston and housing
exhausts through thesame passages that were used to apply the
clutch. In the absence of fluid pressure,force from the return
spring & retainerassembly causes the direct clutch piston
tomove away from the direct clutch applyplate. The piston movement
causes theclutch plates to lose contact with the backingplate
thereby releasing the direct clutch.
As direct clutch fluid exhausts through thedriven sprocket
support, the direct clutchhousing checkball is forced off its seat
bycentrifugal force (rotation of the housing).When the checkball
unseats, residual directclutch fluid is forced to the outer
perimeterof the piston and exhausts through thecheckball seat. (If
this fluid did notcompletely exhaust there could be a partialapply,
or drag of the direct clutch plates.)No direct clutch apply can
cause firstand second gear only.
DIRECT CLUTCH:The direct clutch assembly (517-523),located
inside the direct and coast clutchhousing (502), is applied
whenever thetransaxle is operating in Overdrive Range-Third or
Fourth gear and Manual First,Second or Third Range-Third
gear.DIRECT CLUTCH APPLY (drives thereaction carrier):To apply the
direct clutch, direct clutchfluid is routed into the driven
sprocketsupport (95) and follows a passage betweenthe support and
the support sleeve. Directclutch fluid exits the support at a feed
holein the sleeve, passes through a holebetween the 2nd and 3rd oil
sealrings (500) on the input shaft,through the shaft sleeve
before
entering the directclutch housingbehind the directclutch piston
(518). Direct clutch fluidpressure seats the direct clutch
housingcheckball which allows fluid pressure tomove the piston and
compress the returnspring & retainer assembly (519). Thepiston
continues to move until it contactsthe direct clutch (apply) plate
(521) andholds the direct clutch fiber plates (522)and steel plates
(521) against the directclutch backing plate (523).

COAST CLUTCH APPLY (drives the input sun gear duringacceleration
and allows engine compression braking duringdeceleration):To apply
the coast clutch, coast clutch fluid is routed into thedriven
sprocket support (95) and follows a passage between thesupport and
an oil transfer sleeve. Coast clutch fluid then passesthrough a
feed hole in the support and a feed hole between the3rd and 4th oil
seal rings (500) on the input shaft. The fluid thenflows through an
oil sleevein the input shaft to thecoast clutch housing.Coast
clutch fluid thenenters the housingbetween the coast clutchpiston
and coast clutchhousing. Apply fluid seatsthe checkball (located in
thehousing) and moves the piston
COAST CLUTCH RELEASED:The coast clutch releases whenever the
selector lever is movedinto Overdrive, Park, Reverse or Neutral
ranges and coast clutchfluid pressure between the forward clutch
piston (504) and coastclutch housing exhausts through the direct
& coast clutch andinput shaft. In the absence of fluid
pressure, force from thecoast clutch release spring assembly (505)
causes the coast clutchpiston to move away from the clutch plates.
The pistonmovement causes the clutch plates to lose contact with
the inputsprag outer race thereby releasing the clutch.
As coast clutch fluid exhausts through the housing and
drivensprocket support, the housing checkball is forced off its
seat bycentrifugal force. When the checkball unseats, residual
coast clutchfluid is forced to the outer perimeter of the piston
and exhauststhrough the checkball seat. (If this fluid did not
completely exhaustthere could be a partial apply or drag of the
coast clutch plates.)
towards the coast clutch (apply)plate (508). The piston
movesuntil it contacts the coast clutch(apply) plate and then
forces thecoast clutch (fiber) plates (509)and steel plates (508)
tocompress against the input spragouter race (512).When fully
applied, the coastclutch holds the input sun gear shaftand inner
race assembly, which is splined to the input sun gear.This
arrangement prevents the input sprag elements fromoverrunning to
provide engine compression braking in theManual ranges.
COAST CLUTCH:The coast clutch assembly (504-512 & 517),
located inside the direct and coastclutch input shaft housing
(502), is applied whenever the transaxle is operating ina Manual
Range (Refer to Range Reference Chart on page 11).The coast clutch
is responsible for holding the mechanical link from the gearsetsto
the engine in all manual ranges to achieve engine compression
braking. InOverdrive Ranges First, Second and Third the transaxle
is allowed to coast(through the input sprag overrunning) when the
throttle is reduced and vehiclespeed is greater than engine
speed.
No coastclutch applycan causeno enginebraking inall
manualranges.

& inner raceassembly (511), drives (transfers torque) the input
sun gear (533)in all forward gear ranges (except 4th gear) in order
to transmitpower to the gear sets. The sprag clutch is also
designed to allowthe vehicle to coast in all overdrive gear ranges
(except 4th gear).
INPUT SPRAG ASSEMBLY HOLDING(drives the input sun gear):The
outer race (512) of the input sprag is splined to the direct
&coast clutch and input shaft housing (502). The inner race is
partof the input sun gear shaft assembly with the input sun
gearsplined to the other end. When the engine is running the
directand coast clutch and input shaft housing is always rotating.
Theinput sprag holds when the housing is rotating, but is only
effectivewhen the transaxle is in the overdrive gear ranges (except
4thgear). In the manual ranges the coast clutch is applied
andtransfers the torque. When the input sprag holds, it drives
theinput sun gear in order to direct power flow through the gear
sets.
INPUT SPRAG RELEASED(allows coasting in overdrive gear
ranges):The input sprag assembly releases (overruns) whenever the
vehiclespeed is greater than engine speed (occurs during
decelerationand in 4th gear). This is to allow coasting instead of
enginebraking when in the overdrive gear ranges (except fourth
gear).An overrunning condition occurs only in the Overdrive
Rangeswhen the input sun gear (input sprag inner race) rotates
fasterthan the outer race. The faster rotation of the inner race
causesthe sprag elements to pivot and disengage with the outer
race.
Input sprag clutch failure, not holding can cause no
first,second or third gear/slips in first, second or third
gear.

FORWARD CLUTCH APPLY ( holdsthe input internal gear/drives
thereaction carrier):To apply the forward clutch, forwardclutch
fluid is routed into the forwardclutch support (656) and follows a

clutch fluid then passesfrom a hole in the support, between theoil
seal rings, into a feed hole in theforward clutch housing, located
betweenthe two bearing surfaces. Forward clutchfluid then enters
the inner apply areabetween the piston (607) and the seal andsleeve
assembly (608). The seal andsleeve assembly (608) has an orifice
thatallows fluid to enter the outer area of thepiston. This orifice
system allows acontrolled rate of apply to create asmoother shift

either the reverse or lo band feed tube to theservo cover (73).
Reverse fluid enters theouter portion of the piston and lo band
fluidenters the inner portion of the piston. Fluidpressure fills
the cavity(s) between the servopiston and cover and forces the
servo piston(69) and pin (67) to move towards the lo/reverse band
(111). As the lo/reverse servopiston moves, it compresses the
return spring(66) until the pin travels far enough tocompress the
lo/reverse band. When theband compresses, it holds the forward
clutchhousing stationary.When the transaxle is operating in Park
orNeutral ranges, the lo/reverse band is theonly component holding
the forward clutchhousing. The reason for applying the bandis to
hydraulically and mechanicallyprepare the transaxle for a smooth
garageshift (range selection from Park or Neutralinto Reverse). In
Manual First Range -First gear, the lo/reverse band is appliedfor
engine compression braking.LO/REVERSE SERVO RELEASE:The lo/reverse
servo releases, allowing thelo/reverse band to release, whenever
thetransaxle shifts out of P, R, N or ManualFirst Range - First
Gear. The band releaseswhen reverse and/or lo band fluid
pressurebetween the servo piston and servo coverexhausts from the
circuit. Spring force from
the return spring moves the lo/reverseservo piston away from the
lo/reverseband thereby releasing the band.
No apply of the lo/reverse servocan cause:
No reverse or slips in reverse No engine braking in Manual
First range.

LO ROLLER CLUTCH:The lo roller clutch assembly is made up of
three majorcomponents: a cam which is part of the forward clutch
support(656), the roller assembly (652), and the inner race which
is partof the forward clutch housing (609). The lo roller clutch
(652),located inside the forward clutch support, is the main
componentthat holds the forward clutch housing whenever the
transaxle isoperating in First gear (Overdrive
