Shift Solenoid: Description and Operation
Shift Controls

The Hydra-matic 4T60-E uses two ON/OFF shift solenoid valves with a 2-port design that provides for all forward gear ranges. These shift solenoid
valves work together in a combination of ON or OFF sequences to direct fluid pressures to the various shift valves and apply components. The following
