The shift pressure is determined by the shift pressure regulating solenoid valve and the shift pressure regulating valve (3). See Fig 1. In addition, pressure from the clutch K2 (1) is also present at the annular surface (2) of the shift pressure regulating valve (3). This reduces the shift pressure in 2nd gear.
