Direct Clutch Solenoid

The direct clutch solenoid is mounted on the control valve and is directly controlled by electrical current instructions from the TCM. This solenoid is activated when the direct clutch is to be engaged. Control values are corrected any time when necessary by the learning control and real time feedback functions to improve shift quality and eliminate errors due to aging.

The direct clutch pressure can be switched to two range pressures with the direct clutch piston switch valve.
