Accumulator: Description and Operation
Accumulators
The accumulators act as shock absorbers to cushion the engagement of the transmission clutches. The clutch 'apply' fluid pressure on one side of the
accumulator piston acts against the accumulator spring pressure and the accumulator fluid pressure on the opposite side of the piston. This sequence is
damped by controlling the exhaust rate of the accumulator fluid. There are accumulators for the second, third and fourth clutches.
