OIL PUMP OPERATION

B3E051719220A04

• When the inner rotor in the oil pump rotates, the 

ATF is drawn to the oil pump and then discharged 
from the oil pump. The discharge amount is 
proportional to the rotating speed of the torque 
converter. The ATF discharge amount is 
controlled by the pressure regulator valve and the 
pressure control solenoid.

• By designing exclusive passages for the forward clutch and the 3-4 clutch in the transaxle case, via the oil 

pump and end cover the hydraulic pressure passages are shortened and control during clutch engagement is

CONTROL VALVE BODY OUTLINE

B3E051721100A01

• The control valve body is composed of three bodies: the upper control valve body, premain control valve body, 

and the solenoid control valve body.

• Because the clutch engagement pressure is controlled electronically, the hydraulic circuits are simplified, the 

valve types are reduced, and the control valve body is miniaturized.
