REVERSE CLUTCH HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS
The LA4A-EL transaxle has a hydraulic circuit to control the apply and release of the reverse clutch. The reverse clutch is applied in the R position at
the same time that the low/reverse is applied.
The path of fluid under line pressure during the application of the reverse clutch is as follows:
-
From the manual valve to the R circuit
-
From the R circuit to the 1-2 shirt valve
-
From the 1-2 shift valve to the reverse clutch.
In R position, fluid underline pressure in the R circuit prevents the bypass clutch control valve from applying the torque converter clutch.
When the manual valve moves to a position other than R position, it provides an exhaust path for the R circuit.
