Transmission control valve (1) provides the proper flows and the proper pressures in order to engage
the desired transmission clutches. The transmission control valve is located on the left side of the
transmission case. The transmission control valve is constructed of two cast aluminum valve bodies,
three cast aluminum manifolds, three steel plates, several aluminum spools, and miscellaneous steel
parts.

The transmission control valve consists of the following components: one main relief valve (4), one
priority reducing valve (5), one manual modulation valve (3), wiring harness (2), eight solenoid
valves (7) and eight modulating reducing valves (6)

Main relief valve (4) provides a restriction in the flow that sets the outlet pressure of the transmission
pump. The oil that bypasses the main relief valve flows to transmission oil cooler line (9) .
The main relief valve (4) has a slug (11) that is connected to the outlet flow by orifice (10) that is
contained in spool (8). Slug (11) creates a reaction chamber. Oil in the reaction chamber acts against a
spring in order to set the pressure. Spring (13) has an external adjustment screw and a locknut (12)
that varies the valve pressure setting per turn.

The priority reducing valve is located at the top rear quadrant of the inside valve body.
Priority reducing valve (5) reduces the supply pressure through passage (15) to the selector valves and
solenoids. The priority reducing valve also provides priority to the selector valves and to the solenoids
that are over the fill for the transmission clutch or over the modulation for the transmission clutch.
The priority reducing valve (5) receives oil in parallel to main relief valve (4). Slug (17) provides a
reaction chamber that is connected to the pump supply flow from the solenoid in passage (15) by
orifice (16). The oil is contained in spool (14) and balances against the force of springs (18) in order
to set the pressure.

Manual modulation valve (3) is connected to the pedal with a push-pull cable (19). The manual
modulation valve disengages or the manual modulation valve reduces the power that is transmitted to
the drive wheels. This is accomplished by reducing the supply pressure to the directional modulating
reducing valves.
Modulation valve (3) consists of plunger (21), stop (20), piston (22), spool (24), springs (23), and slug
(25). In order to have full pressure at the direction clutches, the transmission modulator control
(pedal) must not be activated.

Location of the transmission modulator control (pedal)

Depressing the pedal reduces the supply pressure to the modulating reducing valve for the direction
clutch. The pedal is located in the cab. Fully depressing the pedal reduces supply pressure to 0 kPa (0
psi).
Slowly releasing the pedal allows supply pressure to gradually increase following pedal movement to
approximately 755 kPa (110 psi). Once the pressure reaches 755 kPa (110 psi), the pressure
automatically modulates to a minimum of 2085 kPa (300 psi) after approximately 0.2 seconds.
Temperature sensor (27) is mounted into an adapter (26) in the manual modulation valve.
Temperature sensor (27) monitors the oil temperature of the drive train.

There are eight modulation reducing valves. Four of the modulation reducing valves are located in
each valve body. These four provide individual pressure control for the clutch. The modulation
reducing valve consists of selector spool (28), load piston (30), reducing spool (32), slug (33),
modulation orifice (31), decay orifice (29) and springs (34). Each valve provides a unique pressure for
each transmission clutch through different combinations of the springs and the orifices.
To pressurize a transmission clutch, solenoid (7) is energized with a 24 volt signal from the electronic
control module (ECM). The ECM is activated by the transmission shift lever. This causes selector
spool (28) to move toward the center of the valve. This causes load piston (30) and reducing spool
(32) to move away from the center of the valve. This will allow oil from the main relief valve to pass
across the reducing valve in order to fill the clutch.

When the clutch is full of oil, the oil flows through modulation orifice (31) that is contained in
reducing spool (32). This moves load piston (30) toward the selector spool (28), compressing the
modulation spring (34) and causing the transmission clutch pressure to gradually rise.
In order to disengage the transmission clutch, the solenoid is de-energized. This allows selector spool
(28) to move away from the center of the valve. The selector spool connects the load piston cavity in
order to drain through decay orifice (29) that is contained in the valve body. This will gradually
reduce the clutch pressure.

Solenoid valves (7) connect pressurized oil from the priority reducing valve to the corresponding
selector spool. The solenoid valves are 24 volt ON/OFF poppet type valves. These poppet type valves
are activated.

Speed Range Selector Spools

Speed range selector spools (36) trigger the beginning of modulation. Speed range selector spools
(36) also trigger the beginning of the decrease of the clutch pressure. The speed range selector spool
also prevents the application of two speed range gears at a time. Energizing solenoid (7h) causes

speed range selector spool (36) to move toward the center of the valve. This blocks the flow of oil to
disengaged solenoid (7d). Also, this drains the supply port of disengaged solenoid (7d) .

Direction Selector Spools

The direction selector spools are located in the front center region of the outer valve body. The
direction selector spools are part of clutch stations (A), (B), and (C) .
Direction selector spools (37) trigger the beginning of the modulation or the beginning of the decrease
in clutch pressure. The direction selector spools also prevent the application of two direction clutches
at a time. Energizing solenoid (7b) causes direction selector spool (37) to move toward the center of
the valve. This blocks the flow of oil to disengaged solenoid (7a) and (7c). Also, this drains the supply
port of disengaged solenoid (7a) and (7c) .

Speed Selector Spools

The speed selector spools that are located in the front center region of the inner valve body are part of
clutch stations (E), (F), and (G) .
Speed selector spools (35) trigger the beginning of modulation or the beginning of the decrease in
clutch pressure. The speed clutch selector spools also prevent the application of two speed clutches at
a time. Energizing solenoid (7f) causes speed selector spool (35) to move toward the center of the
valve. This blocks the flow of oil to disengaged solenoids (7e) and (7g). Also, this drains the supply
port of disengaged solenoids (7e) and (7g) .
