MAIN FUNCTIONS:
1. Controls gear shifting – Directs transmission fluid to the correct clutches and bands so the vehicle can change gears smoothly.
2. Regulates hydraulic pressure – Manages the pressure of transmission fluid needed for proper transmission operation.
3. Distributes transmission fluid – Acts like the “brain” of the transmission by routing fluid through various channels and valves.
4. Controls shift timing – Determines when the transmission should upshift or downshift based on vehicle speed, engine load, and driver input.
5. Engages and disengages gears – Activates the components that select the desired
WHY IT MUST BE REPLACED;
1 Harsh or delayed shifting
2 Slipping gears
3 Stuck in one gear
4 Transmission fluid contamination
5 Internal valve wear or damage
6 Faulty solenoids integrated into the valve body
