Each modulation reduction valve acts separately and is known as Individual Clutch Modulation (ICM). The modulation reduction valves control the amount of pressure that will be used for clutch engagement and for the release of the clutch. The modulation reduction valves also determine the duration of clutch engagement.Each load piston body has an identification letter for the purposes of disassembly and assembly. Pilot passages (5) are connected to passages from the rotary selector spool of the selector and pressure control valve. Pump oil from the selector and pressure control valve is in passage (15). Drain passages (3) are connected to the transmission case reservoir.All of the modulation reduction valves operate in a similar way, so only the basic operation of one valve is provided.The Beginning of a Shift and the Clutch is Filling

(18) Load piston body When a shift is started, pilot passage (9) receives pilot oil at the correct sequence from the rotary selector spool. Selector piston (8) and load piston (6) move against the force of springs (5). Modulation reduction valve (11) moves against the force of spring (10). Passage (3) is blocked to drain passage (4). Passage (3) is open to passage (2). The pump oil now fills the clutch.At the same time, oil flows through load piston orifice (13) and passage (7). This oil goes between selector piston (8) and load piston (6).Completed Shift with an Engaged Clutch
