Grand Cherokee 2WD V8-4.7L VIN J (2004)
OPERATION
As the torque converter rotates, the converter hub rotates the oil pump drive gear. As the drive gear rotates both driven gears, a vacuum is created
when the gear teeth come out of mesh. This suction draws fluid through the pump inlet from the oil pan. As the gear teeth come back into mesh,
pressurized fluid is forced into the pump outlet and to the oil pump valves.
At low speeds, both sides of the pump supply fluid to the transmission. As the speed of the torque converter increases, the flow from both sides
increases until the flow from the primary side alone is sufficient to meet system demands. At this point, the check valve located between the two
pumps closes. The secondary side is shut down and the primary side supplies all the fluid to the transmission.
CONVERTER CLUTCH SWITCH VALVE
The converter clutch switch valve is used to control the hydraulic pressure supplied to the front (OFF) side of the torque converter clutch.
CONVERTER CLUTCH REGULATOR VALVE
The converter clutch regulator valve is used to control the hydraulic pressure supplied to the back (ON) side of the torque converter clutch.
TORQUE CONVERTER LIMIT VALVE
The torque converter limit valve serves to limit the available line pressure to the torque converter clutch to approximately 120 psi.
