Direct Gear (Third)
L
To shift into direct gear, the TCM energizes the
2-4/LR and overdrive solenoids. This feeds line pres-
sure to the underdrive and overdrive clutches. Line
pressure from the overdrive clutch circuit is directed
to an area between two large plugs at the end of
the solenoid switch valve. This keeps the solenoid
switch valve shifted to the left. The redirected line
pressure from the overdrive clutch circuit allows
for torque converter clutch engagement. It also takes
the place of second gear line pressure, that was

holding the valve to the left but has now been vented.
The line pressure has also been reduced by using
line pressure from the same overdrive clutch circuit
that keeps the solenoid switch valve moved to the
left. Line pressure is directed to an area between
the regulator valve and the smaller of the two valves
on the end. This aids in moving the regulator valve
to the left, dumping additional oil, which results in
lower line pressure.
