ACCUMULATOR
DESCRIPTION
The 4XTE underdrive, overdrive, low/reverse, and 2/4 clutch hydraulic circuits each contain an accumulator. An accumulator typically consists of a
piston, return spring(s), and a cover or plug. The overdrive and underdrive accumulators are located within the transaxle case, and are retained by the
valve body (Fig. 164).
The low reverse accumulator (Fig. 165) is also located within the transaxle case, but the assembly is retained by a cover and a snap-ring.
