The valve body includes the main valve body, the regulator valve body, the secondary valve body, and the accumulator body. The ATF pump is driven by splines on the end of the torque converter which is attached to the engine. Fluid flows through the regulator valve to maintain specified pressure through the main valve body to the manual valve, directing pressure to each of the clutches. The shift solenoid valves A, B, and C, and the torque converter clutch solenoid valve are mounted on the accumulator body. The A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A, B, and C are mounted on the transmission housing.
