Transfer Hydraulic Pressure Control Unit

The transfer hydraulic pressure control unit is bolted at the rear end of transmission case through the transfer valve plate.

The hydraulic pressures used for the transfer hydraulic pressure control unit (line pressure and pilot pressure) are supplied from the transmission's hydraulic control valve assembly through the passages formed in the transmission case.

The transfer duty solenoid adjusts the pilot pressure of the transfer clutch valve depending on the signals from the TCM. The transfer clutch valve in turn modulates the line pressure into the transfer clutch pressure before it is applied to the clutch piston.

The transfer clutch pressure adjusted in this way engages the clutch to different degrees according to driving conditions so that the optimum torque is distributed to the rear wheels.
