Hydraulic System, Brakes

MAIN CONTROL VALVE BODY
The main control valve body directs fluid (oil) under pressure to the torque converter, band servos and clutches, to control Transaxle operation.

OIL PUMP
The oil pump provides a supply of fluid (oil) under pressure to operate, lubricate, and cool the Transaxle. The oil pump is a variable capacity vane and rotor pump with output flow proportional to demand. The oil pump is mounted to the Transaxle case.

ACCUMULATORS
The accumulators reduce shift shock, which is generated when shifting by moderating a rapid increase in hydraulic pressure when the bands are engaged. The accumulators moderate a rapid increase in hydraulic pressure during clutch engagement.
