PREFACE
The Hydra-matic 4L30-E Technicians Guide is primarily intended for
automotive technicians that have some familiarization with an automatic
transaxle or transmission. Other persons using this book may find this
publication somewhat technically complex if additional instruction is not
provided. Since the intent of this book is to explain the fundamental mechanical, hydraulic and electrical operating principles, some of the terminology used is specific to the transmission industry. Therefore, words
commonly associated with a specific transaxle or transmission function
have been defined as needed throughout this publication.
The Hydra-matic 4L30-E Technicians Guide is intended to assist technicians during the service, diagnosis and repair of this transmission. However, this book is not intended to be a substitute for other service publications
that are normally used on the job. Since there is a wide range of repair
procedures and technical specifications specific to certain vehicles and
transmission models, the proper service publication must be referred to
when servicing the Hydra-matic 4L30-E transmission.

INTRODUCTION
The Hydra-matic 4L30-E Technicians Guide is another Hydra-matic publication from the Technicians
Guide series. These publications provide in-depth
technical information that is useful when learning or
teaching the fundamental operations of a transaxle or
transmission. This book is designed to graphically
illustrate and explain the function of the mechanical,
hydraulic, and electrical systems that make up the
Hydra-matic 4L30-E transmission. The information
contained in this book was developed to be useful for
both the inexperienced and experienced technician.
The inexperienced technician will find the explanations of the basic operating characteristics of this
transmission as valuable when learning the function
of each component used in this transmission. The
experienced technician will find that this book is a
valuable reference source when diagnosing a problem with the vehicle.
In the first section of this book entitled Principles of
Operation, exacting explanations of the major components and their functions are presented. In every
situation possible, text describes component operation during the apply and release cycle as well as
situations where it has no effect at all. The descriptive text is then supported by numerous graphic illustrations which further emphasize the operational theories presented.
The second major section entitled Power Flow,
blends the information presented in the Principles
of Operation section into the complete transmission
assembly. The transfer of torque from the engine

through the transmission is graphically displayed on

a full page while a narrative description is provided
on a facing half page. The opposite side of the half
page contains the narrative description of the hydraulic fluid as it applies components or shifts valves in
the system. Facing this partial page is a hydraulic
schematic that shows the position of valves,
checkballs, etc., as they function in a specific gear
range.
The third major section of this book displays the
Complete Hydraulic Circuit for specific gear ranges.
Foldout pages containing fluid flow schematics and
two dimensional illustrations of major components
graphically display hydraulic circuits. This information is extremely useful when tracing fluid circuits
for learning or diagnosis purposes.
The Appendix section of this book provides additional transmission information regarding lubrication
circuits, seal locations, illustrated parts lists and more.
Although this information is available in current
model year Service Manuals, its inclusion provides
for a quick reference guide that is useful to the technician.
Production of the Hydra-matic 4L30-E Technicians
Guide was made possible through the combined efforts of many staff areas within the General Motors
Powertrain Division. As a result, the Hydra-matic
4L30-E Technicians Guide was written to provide
the user with the most current, concise and usable
information available with regards to this product.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

First time users of this book may find the page layout
a little unusual or perhaps confusing. However, with
a minimal amount of exposure to this format its
usefulness becomes more obvious. If you are
unfamiliar with this publication, the following
guidelines are helpful in understanding the functional
intent for the various page layouts:

Read the following section, Understanding the

Graphics to know how the graphic illustrations
are used, particularly as they relate to the
mechanical power flow and hydraulic controls
(see Understanding the Graphics page 6).

Unfold the cutaway illustration of the Hydra-matic

4L30-E (page 8) and refer to it as you progress
through each major section. This cutaway provides
a quick reference of component location inside
the transmission assembly and their relationship
to other components.

Principles of Operation section by showing

specific fluid circuits that enable the mechanical
components to operate. The mechanical power
flow is graphically displayed on a full size page
and followed by a half page of descriptive text.
The opposite side of the half page contains the
narrative description of the hydraulic fluid as it
applies components or moves valves in the system.
Facing this partial page is a hydraulic schematic
which shows the position of valves, checkballs,
etc., as they function in a specific gear range.
Also, located at the bottom of each half page is a
reference to the Complete Hydraulic Circuit
section that follows.

The Principles of Operation section (beginning on

page 9A) presents information regarding the major
apply components and hydraulic control
components used in this transmission. This section
describes how specific components work and
interfaces with the sections that follow.
The Power Flow section (beginning on page 41)
presents the mechanical and hydraulic functions
corresponding to specific gear ranges. This section
builds on the information presented in the

The Complete Hydraulic Circuits section

(beginning on page 67) details the entire hydraulic
system. This is accomplished by using a foldout
circuit schematic with a facing page two
dimensional foldout drawing of each component.
The circuit schematics and component drawings
display only the fluid passages for that specific
operating range.

Finally, the Appendix section contains a schematic

of the lubrication flow through the transmission,
disassembled view parts lists and transmission
specifications. This information has been included
to provide the user with convenient reference
information published in the appropriate vehicle
Service Manuals. Since component parts lists and
specifications may change over time, this
information should be verified with Service
Manual information.

Figure 2

The flow of transmission fluid starts in the bottom

pan and is drawn through the filter, main case valve
body, main case, adapter case and into oil pump
assembly. This is a general route for fluid to flow
that is more easily understood by reviewing the illustrations provided in Figure 2. However, fluid may
pass between these and other components many times
before reaching a valve or applying a clutch. For this
reason, the graphics are designed to show the exact
location where fluid passes through a component
and into other passages for specific gear range operation.
To provide a better understanding of fluid flow in the
Hydra-matic 4L30-E transmission, the components
involved with hydraulic control and fluid flow are
illustrated in three major formats. Figure 3 provides
an example of these formats which are:

A three dimensional line drawing of the

component for easier part identification.
A two dimensional line drawing of the component
to indicate fluid passages and orifices.

A graphic schematic representation that displays

valves, checkballs, orifices and so forth, required
for the proper function of transmission in a specific
gear range. In the schematic drawings, fluid
circuits are represented by straight lines and
orifices are represented by indentations in a circuit.
All circuits are labeled and color coded to provide
reference points between the schematic drawing
and the two dimensional line drawing of the
components.

Figure 4 (page 7A) provides an illustration of a

typical valve, bushing and valve train components.
A brief description of valve operation is also
provided to support the illustration.

Figure 5 (page 7A) provides a color coded chart

that references different fluid pressures used to
operate the hydraulic control systems. A brief
description of how fluid pressures affect valve
operation is also provided.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Hydra-matic 4L30-E is a fully automatic, four
speed, front wheel drive transmission. It consists primarily of a four-element torque converter, two planetary
gear sets, various clutches, an oil pump, and a control
valve body.
The four-element torque converter contains a pump, a
turbine, a pressure plate splined to the turbine, and a
stator assembly. The torque converter acts as a fluid
coupling to smoothly transmit power from the engine
to the transmission. It also hydraulically provides additional torque multiplication when required. The pressure
plate, when applied, provides a mechanical direct
drive coupling of the engine to the transmission.
The two planetary gear sets provide the four forward
gear ratios and reverse. Changing of the gear ratios is
fully automatic and is accomplished through the use of
various electronic powertrain sensors that provide input signals to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
The TCM interprets these signals to send current to the
various solenoids inside the transmission.

By using electronics, the TCM controls shift points,

shift feel and torque converter clutch apply and release, to provide proper gear ranges for maximum fuel
economy and vehicle performance.
Five multiple-disc clutches, one roller clutch, a sprag
clutch, and a brake band provide the friction elements
required to obtaain the various ratios with planetary
gear sets.
A hydraulic system (the control valve body), pressurized by a gear type pump provides the working pressure
needed to operate the friction elements and automatic
controls.
Several electronic solenoids and sensors in the powertrain work in conjunction with the vehicles
Transmission Control Module (TCM), to control various shift points, shift feel and converter clutch apply
and release.

EXPLANATION OF GEAR RANGES

Figure 8

The transmission can be operated in any one of the

seven different positions shown on the shift quadrant
(Figure 8).
P Park position enables the engine to be started while
preventing the vehicle from rolling either forward or
backward. For safety reasons, the vehicles parking
brake should be used in addition to the transmission
Park position. Since the output shaft is mechanically
locked to the case through the parking pawl and parking lock wheel, Park position should not be selected
until the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
R Reverse enables the vehicle to be operated in a
rearward direction.
N Neutral position enables the engine to start and
operate without driving the vehicle. If necessary, this
position should be selected to restart the engine while
the vehicle is moving.
D Drive range should be used for all normal driving
conditions for maximum efficiency and fuel economy.
Drive range allows the transmission to operate in each
of the four forward gear ratios. When operating in the
Drive range, shifting to a lower or higher gear ratio is

accomplished by depressing the accelerator or by manually selecting a lower gear with the shift selector.
It is not recommended that the transmission be operated in Drive range when pulling heavy loads or driving on extremely hilly terrain. Typically these conditions
put an extra load on the engine, therefore the transmission should be driven in a lower manual gear selection
for maximum efficiency.
3 Manual Third should be used when driving conditions dictate that it is desirable to use only three gear
ratios. These conditions include towing a trailer or driving on hilly terrain as described above. Automatic shifting is the same as in Drive range for first, second and
third gears except the transmission will not shift into
Fourth gear.
2 Manual Second adds more performance for congested traffic or hilly terrain. It has the same starting
ratio (first gear) as Manual Third but the transmission
is prevented from shifting above second gear. Manual
Second can be selected at any vehicle speed therefore,
it is commonly used for acceleration or engine braking
as required.
1 Manual First can also be selected at any vehicle
speed, however if the transmission is in third or fourth
gear it will immediately shift into second gear. When
the vehicle speed slows to below approximately 60
km/h (37 mph) the transmission will then shift into
first gear. This is particularly beneficial for maintaining maximum engine braking when descending steep
grades.

MAJOR MECHANICAL COMPONENTS

APPLY COMPONENTS

The foldout graphic on page 10 contains a disassembled drawing of the major components used in the Hydra-matic 4L30-E
transmission. This drawing, along with the cross sectional illustrations on page 8 and 8A, show the major mechanical components and their relationship to each other as a complete assembly.
Therefore, color has been used throughout this book to help
identify parts that are splined together, rotating at engine speed,
held stationary, and so forth. Color differentiation is particularly helpful when using the Power Flow section for understanding the transmission operation.

The Range Reference Chart on page 11, provides another valuable source of information for explaining the overall function of
the Hydra-matic 4L30-E transmission. This chart highlights the
major apply components that function in a selected gear range,
and the specific gear operation within that gear range.

The color legend below provides the general guidelines that

were followed in assigning specific colors to the major components. However, due to the complexity of this transmission,
some colors (such as grey) were used for artistic purposes rather
than based on the specific function or location of that component.

Included as part of this chart is the same color reference to each

major component that was previously discussed. If a component
is active in a specific gear range, a word describing its activity
will be listed in the column below that component. The row
where the activity occurs corresponds to the appropriate transmission range and gear operation.

An abbreviated version of this chart can also be found at the top

of the half page of text located in the Power Flow section. This
provides for a quick reference when reviewing the mechanical
power flow information contained in that section.

Components held stationary in the case or splined to

the case. Examples: Oil Pump Assembly (10), 4th
Clutch Piston (532), Center Support (30) and Brake
Band Assembly (664).

Components that rotate at engine speed. Examples:

Torque Converter Cover and Pump, and the Oil Pump
Gears.
Components that rotate at turbine speed. Examples:

DAMPER
ASSEMBLY

PRESSURE PLATE
ASSEMBLY
(C)

The torque converter (1) is the primary component for

transmittal of power between the engine and the transmission. It is bolted to the engine flywheel (also known
as the flexplate) so that it will rotate at engine speed.
The major functions of the torque converter are:
to provide a fluid coupling for a smooth
conversion of torque from the engine to the mechanical components of the transmission.
to multiply torque from the engine which
enables the vehicle to achieve additional
performance when required.
to mechanically operate the transmission oil
pump (4) through the converter hub.
to provide a mechanical link, or direct drive, from
the engine to the transmission through the use of
the torque converter clutch (TCC), or pressure
plate (C).
The torque converter assembly consists of
the following five main sub-assemblies:
a converter housing cover assembly
(A) which is bolted to the engine
flywheel and is welded to the
converter pump assembly (I).
a converter pump assembly (I)
which is the driving member.
a turbine assembly (F) which is
the driven or output member.
a stator assembly (H) which is the
reaction member located between the
converter pump and turbine assemblies.
a pressure plate assembly (C) splined
to the turbine assembly to provide a
mechanical direct drive when appropriate.

CONVERTER PUMP ASSEMBLY AND

TURBINE ASSEMBLY
When the engine is running the converter pump assembly acts as a centrifugal pump by picking up fluid
at its center and discharging it at its rim between the
blades (see Figure 12). The force of this fluid then hits
the turbine blades and causes the turbine to rotate. The
turbine shaft (506) is splined to the converter turbine
to provide the input to the transmission. As the engine
and converter pump increase in RPM, so does the
turbine assembly and turbine shaft. However, with the
pressure plate released, turbine speed does not equal
engine speed due to the small amount of slip that
occurs in a fluid coupling.

TORQUE CONVERTER
PRESSURE PLATE, DAMPER AND
CONVERTER HOUSING ASSEMBLIES
The pressure plate is splined to the turbine hub and applies (engages) with the
converter cover to provide a mechanical coupling of the engine to the transmission. When the pressure plate assembly is applied, the small amount of slippage
that occurs through a fluid coupling is eliminated, thereby providing a more
efficient transfer of engine torque to the transmission and drive wheels. The
bottom half of the cutaway view of the torque converter in Figure 11 shows the
pressure plate in the apply position while the top half shows the released
position. Refer to Torque Converter Release and Apply on pages 54 and 55 for
an explanation of hydraulic control of the torque converter clutch.

To reduce torsional shock during the apply of the pressure plate to the converter cover, a spring loaded damper assembly (D) is used. The damper assembly is splined to the turbine assembly and the dampers pivoting mechanism is
attached to the pressure plate assembly. When the pressure plate applies, the
pivoting mechanism allows the pressure plate to rotate independently of the
damper assembly up to approximately 45 degrees. The cushioning effect of the
damper assembly springs aid in reducing converter clutch apply feel and irregular torque pulses from the engine or road surface.

The stator assembly (or assemblies, see page 14) is

located between the pump assembly and turbine
assembly and is mounted on a roller clutch. The
roller clutch is a type of one-way clutch that prevents the stator from rotating in a counterclockwise
direction. The function of the stator is to redirect
fluid returning from the turbine which assists the
engine in turning the converter pump assembly,
thereby multiplying torque.
At low vehicle speeds, when greater torque is
needed, fluid from the turbine hits the front side of
the stator blades (converter multiplying torque).
The roller clutch prevents the stator from rotating
in the same direction as the fluid flow, thereby
redirecting the fluid and increasing the fluid force
on the pump assembly. Fluid from the converter
pump then has more force to turn the turbine assembly and multiply engine torque.

As vehicle speed increases, centrifugal force

changes the direction of fluid leaving the turbine
such that it hits the back side of the stator blades
(converter at coupling speed). When this occurs,
the stator overruns the roller clutch and rotates
freely. Fluid is no longer redirected and torque is
no longer multiplied.

APPLY COMPONENTS
The Apply Components section is designed to
explain the function of the hydraulic and
mechanical holding devices used in the Hydramatic 4L30-E transmission. Some of these apply
components, such as clutches and a band, are
hydraulically applied and released in order to
provide automatic gear range shifting. Other
components, such as a roller clutch or sprag clutch,
often react to a hydraulically applied component
by mechanically holding or releasing another
member of the transmission. This interaction
between the hydraulically and mechanically
applied components is then explained in detail
and supported with a graphic illustration. In
addition, this section shows the routing of fluid
pressure to the individual components and their
internal functions when it applies or releases.

The sequence in which the components in this

section have been discussed coincides with their
physical arrangement inside the transmission. This
order closely parallels the disassembly sequence
used in the Hydra-matic 4L30-E Unit Repair
Section of the appropriate Service Manual. It also
correlates with the components shown on the
Range Reference Charts that are used throughout
the Power Flow section of this book. The
correlation of information between the sections of
this book helps the user more clearly understand
the hydraulic and mechanical operating principles
for this transmission.

OVERRUN CLUTCH:
The overrun clutch assembly is located in the overrun clutch housing (510)
inside the adapter case (20). The external teeth on the steel clutch plates
(521) are splined to the overrun clutch housing while the internal teeth on
the fiber clutch plates (522) are splined to the overdrive carrier assembly
(525). The overrun clutch is applied as soon as the engine is started and in
all gear ranges except Drive Range - Fourth Gear.

When fully applied, the steel plates (521) and fiber plates (522)

and overdrive carrier assembly together. This forces the housing,
overdrive sun gear (519) which is splined to the housings inner
hub, and carrier to rotate at the same speed.

OVERRUN CLUTCH RELEASE:

To release the overrun clutch, overrun clutch fluid exhausts from
the housing and back through the turbine shaft and oil pump hub,
thereby decreasing fluid pressure at the overrun clutch piston
(513). Without fluid pressure, spring force from the waved release spring (514) moves the overrun clutch piston away from
clutch pack. This disengages the steel and fiber clutch plates from
the backing plate (523) and disconnects the overrun clutch housing (510) from the overdrive carrier (525).

During the exhaust of overrun clutch fluid, the overrun clutch

checkball unseats (see illustration). Centrifugal force, resulting
from the overrun clutch housing rotating, forces residual overrun
clutch fluid to the outside of the piston housing and past the
unseated checkball. If this fluid did not completely exhaust from
behind the piston there could be enough pressure for a partial
apply, or drag, of the overrun clutch plates.

513

To apply the overrun clutch, overrun clutch fluid is fed through

the oil pump hub, into the turbine shaft (506) and to the inner hub
of the overrun clutch housing. Feed holes in the inner hub allow
fluid to enter the housing behind the overrun clutch piston (513).
Overrun clutch fluid pressure seats the overrun clutch checkball
(located in the housing) and moves the piston to compress the
waved release spring (514) which cushions the clutch apply. As
fluid pressure increases, the piston compresses the steel and fiber
clutch plates together until they are held against the overrun
clutch backing plate (523). The increase in fluid pressure forces
any air in the overrun clutch fluid circuit to exhaust past the
checkball, before it fully seats, to prevent excess cushion during
the clutch apply.

inner cam (517) is splined to the inner hub of the overrun clutch housing.
The overdrive roller clutch is a type of one-way clutch that prevents the
overrun clutch housing from rotating clockwise faster than the overdrive
carrier. This assists the overrun clutch in holding the overrun clutch housing and overdrive carrier together. The overdrive roller clutch is holding,

EXAMPLE "B"
OVERDRIVE The roller clutch releases when the overdrive carrier rotates clockwise
faster than the overrun clutch housing. This causes the rollers to move
down the ramp on the inner cam (517) and rotate freely between the inner
cam and outer race. This action occurs in Fourth gear when the overrun
OVERDRIVE
clutch is released and the 4th clutch is applied to hold the overrun clutch
INTERNAL
housing (510) and overdrive sun gear (519) stationary to the adapter case.
GEAR
As torque from the engine drives the carrier clockwise, the roller clutch
(528)
outer race in the carrier overruns the roller clutch. The pinion gears rotate
clockwise on their pins and walk around the stationary sun gear, thereby
driving the overdrive internal gear (528) in a Fourth gear overdrive gear
ratio of approximately .73:1.

Coast Conditions:

D
EL

With the sun gear and overdrive carrier rotating at the same speed, the
pinion gears do not rotate on their pins but act as wedges and drive the
overdrive internal gear. This creates a 1:1 gear ratio through the overdrive
planetary gear set. Remember that, as explained above, the roller clutch is
assisting the overrun clutch which is also applied and holding the carrier
and overrun clutch housing together.

When the 4th clutch is released the overrun clutch housing is free to rotate.
The overdrive carrier pinion gears are in mesh with both the overdrive sun
gear (519), which is splined to the inner hub of the overrun clutch housing,
and the overdrive internal gear (528). Power from the engine drives the
overdrive carrier clockwise. Vehicle load holding the overdrive internal
gear causes the pinion gears to attempt to rotate counterclockwise on their
pins around the internal gear as the travel clockwise with the carrier assembly. Therefore, the pinion gears attempt to drive the sun gear clockwise,
faster than the carrier assembly is rotating. However, this causes the rollers
to move up the ramp on the inner cam (517) and wedge between the inner
cam and outer race, thereby locking the overrun clutch housing (510) and
overdrive carrier together.

OVERRUN CLUTCH HOUSING

AND SUN GEAR (INNER CAM)

When the throttle is released and the vehicle is decelerating, power from
vehicle speed drives the transmissions output shaft and gear sets faster
than engine torque is driving. In gear ranges when the overrun clutch is
applied and engine compression braking slows the vehicle during coast
conditions, the overdrive roller clutch is not holding. However, the overdrive carrier does not overrun the roller clutch because the overrun clutch
holds the carrier and overrun clutch housing together.

clutch fluid pressure moves the piston to compress the retainer and spring assembly (531)
which cushions the clutch apply. As fluid pressure increases, the piston compresses the steel
and fiber clutch plates until they are held against
the 4th clutch retainer (501). The 4th clutch
retainer is splined to the adapter case and held
in place by the oil pump assembly (10). The
retainer functions as a backing plate for the

(611) which cushions the clutch apply. As fluid pressure increases, the piston compresses the steel and fiber
clutch plates together until they are held against the 2nd clutch spacer (628). The spacer is splined to the
2nd clutch drum and held in place by the retainer ring (629). The spacer functions as a backing plate for the

The sprag clutch assembly (650) is located between the input sun gear assembly (646) and sprag race
assembly (647). The input sun gear assembly functions as the inner sprag race and is splined to the
short pinions in the Ravigneaux planetary carrier (653). The sprag race assembly functions as the
outer sprag race and is splined to the 3rd clutch drum (634). The sprag clutch is a type of one-way
clutch that prevents the 3rd clutch drum from rotating clockwise faster than the input sun gear.
Therefore, when the sprag clutch is holding it allows the 3rd clutch drum to drive the input sun gear.

INPUT
SUN GEAR
ASSEMBLY
(646)

SPRAG CLUTCH HOLDING:

In Park, Reverse, Neutral and First gears power flow drives the 3rd
clutch drum clockwise such that the sprag outer race pivots the sprags
toward their long diagonals. The length of the sprags long diagonal
(distance A) is greater than the distance between the inner and outer
races. This causes the sprags to lock between the inner and outer races,
thereby allowing the 3rd clutch drum to drive the input sun gear assembly. The sun gear then transfers the power flow to the Ravigneaux
carrier and output shaft.
The sprag clutch is also holding in Third and Fourth gears, and First
gear in Manual First and Manual Second. However, in these gear ranges
the 3rd clutch is applied and connects the 3rd clutch drum and input sun
gear assembly. In this situation the sprag clutch assists the 3rd clutch in
driving the input sun gear. This locks the sprag clutch at all times,

overrun when the transmission is in Second gear.

Coast Conditions:
The sprag clutch is also overrun during coast conditions, or deceleration, in Reverse, Drive Range - First Gear and Manual Third - First
Gear. This is when power from vehicle speed drives the input sun gear

SERVO ASSEMBLY AND BRAKE BAND:
The servo assembly, located in the bottom rear of the main transmission case (36), functions to apply the
brake band (664) and act as an accumulator to cushion the 3rd clutch apply. The brake band is applied when
the transmission is in First and Second gears. The brake band is held stationary in the main case and wraps
around the reaction sun drum (659). When compressed by the servo assembly the band holds the reaction
drum and reaction sun gear (658) stationary to the main case.

103

BRAKE BAND APPLY:

102

To apply the servo assembly and brake band, servo apply fluid is fed between the servo cover (91) and servo
piston (97). Servo apply fluid pressure forces the piston to compress both the servo cushion (99) and servo
return (103) springs. This action moves the servo apply rod (102) toward the band. The apply rod compresses
the brake band around the reaction sun drum and holds both the drum and reaction sun gear stationary to the
main case. During apply, the spring forces (servo cushion and servo return) acting against servo apply fluid
pressure help control the apply feel of the brake band.

101

BRAKE BAND RELEASE:

The servo assembly and brake band are held in the release position by the spring forces in Park, Neutral and
Reverse when servo apply fluid pressure is exhausted. In Third and Fourth gears they are held in the release
position by servo release fluid pressure assisting the spring forces. Servo release fluid pressure is fed between
the main case and servo piston. This fluid pressure assists the spring forces to move the servo piston and apply
rod against servo apply fluid pressure and away from the brake band. Therefore, the brake band releases and
the reaction drum and reaction sun gear are allowed to rotate freely.

3RD CLUTCH ACCUMULATION:

The servo assembly is also used as an accumulator for 3rd clutch apply. Servo release fluid pressure also
feeds the 3rd clutch fluid circuit to apply the 3rd clutch. Therefore, as servo release fluid pressure moves the
servo piston against servo apply fluid pressure, some of the initial fluid pressure that applies the 3rd clutch is
absorbed. This helps cushion the 3rd clutch apply. Refer to page 32A for a more detailed description of
accumulator function.

PLANETARY GEAR SETS

PLANETARY GEAR SETS

Torque:

Planetary gear sets are used in the Hydra-matic 4L30-E transmission as the
primary method of multiplying the torque, or twisting force, of the engine
(known as reduction). A planetary gear set is also used to reverse the direction
of input torque, function as a coupling for direct drive, and provide an overdrive
gear ratio.

When engine torque is transferred through a gear set the output torque from the
gear set can either increase, decrease, or remain the same. The output torque
achieved depends on:

Planetary gears are so named because of their physical arrangement. All

planetary gear sets contain at least three main components:
a sun gear at the center of the gear set,
a carrier assembly with planet pinion gears that rotate around the sun gear
and,
an internal ring gear that encompasses the entire gear set.
This arrangement provides both strength and efficiency and also evenly
distributes the energy forces flowing through the gear set. Another benefit of
planetary gears is that gear clash (a common occurrence in manual
transmissions) is eliminated because the gear teeth are always in mesh.
The Hydra-matic 4L30-E transmission consists of two planetary gear sets, the
overdrive and Ravigneaux gear sets. The graphics in Figure 23 show both of
these gear sets and their respective components. Figure 24 graphically explains
how the planetary gear sets are used in combination to achieve each of the
transmissions five different gear ratios.

(1) which member of the gear set provides the input torque to the gear set,
(2) which member of the gear set (if any) is held stationary,
and,
(3) which member of the gear set provides the output torque.
If output torque is greater than input torque the gear set is operating in reduction
(First, Second and Reverse gears). If output torque is less than input torque then
the gear set is operating in overdrive (Fourth gear). When output torque equals
input torque the gear set is operating in direct drive (Third gear) and all gear set
components are rotating at the same speed.

Torque vs. Speed

One transmission operating condition directly affected by input and output
torque through the gear sets is the relationship of torque with output speed. As
the transmission shifts from First to Second to Third to Fourth gear, the overall
output torque to the wheels decreases as the speed of the vehicle increases (with
input speed and input torque held constant). Higher output torque is needed
with low vehicle speed, First and Second gears, to provide the power to move
the vehicle from a standstill. However, once the vehicle is moving and the speed
of the vehicle increases, Third and Fourth gears, less output torque is required to
maintain that speed.

Ravigneaux Planetary Gear Set:

The Ravigneaux planetary gear set is unique in that it resembles a combination
of two gear sets. This gear set consists of two sets of pinion gears (long and
short) in one planetary carrier (653), two sun gears - input (646) and reaction
(658), and one internal ring gear (630). The short pinion gears are in constant
mesh with both the input sun gear and the long pinion gears. The long pinion
gears are also in constant mesh with the internal ring gear (630). Also, the
output shaft is connected to the Ravigneaux planetary carrier assembly (653).

ADAPTER
CASE
(20)

REDUCTION
Increasing the output torque is known as operating in reduction because there
is a decrease in the speed of the output member proportional to the increase in
output torque. Therefore, with a constant input speed, the output torque
increases when the transmission is in a lower gear, or higher gear ratio.

PLANETARY GEAR SETS

Reduction occurs in First, Second and Reverse gears through the Ravigneaux
gear set. In each of these gears, power flow through the overdrive planetary gear
set is a 1:1 direct drive gear ratio. The overdrive carrier assembly provides the
input torque to the overdrive gear set. The overdrive sun gear (519) is splined to
the inner hub of the overrun clutch housing (510). Both of these components are
held to the overdrive carrier assembly (525) by the overrun clutch and overdrive
roller clutch. With the sun gear and carrier rotating at the same speed, the pinion
gears do not rotate on their pins but act as wedges to drive the overdrive internal
gear (528). Therefore, the entire overdrive planetary gear set rotates at the same
speed for a 1:1 gear ratio input to the Ravigneaux gear set.
In First gear, torque input to the Ravigneaux gear set is provided by the input
sun gear (646) in a clockwise direction. The input sun gear drives the short
pinion gears in the Ravigneaux carrier counterclockwise. The short pinion gears
then drive the long pinion gears in the Ravigneaux carrier in a clockwise
direction. The brake band is applied in First and Second gears and holds the
reaction sun gear (658) and reaction sun drum (659) stationary. The long pinion
gears walk clockwise around the stationary reaction sun gear. This action drives
the Ravigneaux carrier and output shaft assembly in an reduction gear ratio of
approximately 2.40:1.
In Second gear, the torque input to the Ravigneaux gear set is provided by the
ring gear (630) in a clockwise direction. The ring gear drives the long pinion
gears clockwise. The long pinion gears walk around the stationary reaction sun
gear (658) which is still held by the band. This action drives the Ravigneaux
carrier and output shaft assembly in a reduction gear ratio of approximately
1.48:1.

DIRECT DRIVE
Direct drive in a planetary gear set is obtained when any two members of the gear
set rotate in the same direction at the same speed. This forces the third member of
the gear set to rotate at the same speed. Therefore, in direct drive the output speed
of the transmission is the same as the input speed from the converter turbine.
Output speed will equal engine speed when the torque converter clutch is applied
(see Torque Converter - page 12).

Direct drive occurs in Third gear when input torque to the Ravigneaux gear set
is provided by both the input sun gear (646) and ring gear (630). This wedges
the short and long pinion gears together, preventing them from rotating on their
pins, and causes them to rotate with the input sun gear and ring gear at the same
speed. Therefore, the Ravigneaux carrier and output shaft assembly (653) are
also driven at the same speed for a 1:1 direct drive gear ratio. This combines
with the 1:1 gear ratio through the overdrive gear set for a direct drive 1:1 gear
ratio through the entire transmission.

OVERDRIVE
Operating the transmission in Overdrive allows the output speed of the
transmission to be greater than the input speed from the engine. This mode of
operation allows the vehicle to maintain a given road speed with reduced engine
speed for increased fuel economy.
Overdrive is achieved through the overdrive gear set and only occurs in Drive
Range - Fourth Gear. The 4th clutch holds theoverrun clutch housing (510) and
overdrive sun gear (519) stationary to the main transmission case. Therefore,
when input torque drives the overdrive carrier clockwise, the overdrive carrier
pinion gears walk clockwise around the stationary sun gear. These pinion gears
then drive the overdrive internal gear (528) clockwise in an overdrive gear ratio
of approximately .73:1. Power flow from the overdrive internal gear to the
output shaft is identical to Third gear, a direct drive 1:1 gear ratio, thereby
providing an overall transmission gear ratio of approximately .73:1.

REVERSE
The Ravigneaux planetary gear set reverses the direction of power flow rotation
when the reverse clutch is applied. In Reverse, input torque to the Ravigneaux
gear set is provided by the input sun gear (646) in a clockwise direction and the
ring gear (630) is held stationary. The input sun gear drives the short pinion
gears counterclockwise. With the ring gear held, the long pinion gears travel
counterclockwise around the ring gear as they are driven clockwise on their pins
by the short pinion gears. This action drives the Ravigneaux carrier and output
shaft in a counterclockwise (reverse) direction in a reduction gear ratio of
approximately 2.00:1.

OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY

The oil pump assembly contains a positive displacement internal-external gear type pump located in the oil pump body (209). This spur gear
type pump consists of a drive gear (201) that has gear teeth in constant
mesh with the teeth on one side of the pump driven gear (202). Also, the
notch on the inside of the drive gear is keyed to the torque converter
pump hub. Therefore, whenever the engine is cranking, or running, the
converter pump hub drives the pump drive gear at engine speed. The
drive gear then drives the driven gear at engine speed.
On the opposite side of the mesh point between the drive and driven
gears the pump gears are separated by the crescent section of the pump
body (209). As the gears rotate toward the crescent, the volume between
the gear teeth increases and fluid volume is positively displaced, thereby
creating a vacuum at the pump intake port. This vacuum allows the
higher atmospheric pressure acting on the fluid in the main case bottom
pan (74) to force fluid through the filter assembly (79) and into the
suction side of the oil pump.

Through the rotation of the gears the gear teeth carry the fluid past the
crescent to the pressure side of the oil pump. Past the crescent the gear
teeth begin to mesh again and the volume between the gear teeth decreases. Decreasing this volume pressurizes and forces the fluid through
the pump outlet and into the line fluid circuit. This fluid is directed to
the pressure regulator valve where the fluid pressure is regulated to
maintain the required supply and pressure for the various hydraulic
circuits and apply components throughout the transmission.
As engine speed (RPM) increases, the volume of fluid being supplied
by the oil pump also increases because of the faster rotation of the
pump gears. At a specified calibrated pressure (which varies with transmission model) the pressure regulator valve allows excess fluid to return to the suction side of the pump gears (see pressure regulation on
page 28). The result is a control of the pumps delivery rate of fluid to
the hydraulic system.

Figure 25

HYDRAULIC CONTROL COMPONENTS

PRESSURE REGULATION
To pressurize pump output there needs to be a restriction in the line
pressure fluid circuit. The main restricting component that controls line
pressure is the pressure regulator valve (208) which is located in the oil
pump assembly (209). Line fluid from the pump is directed to the
middle of the pressure regulator valve and is also orificed to one end of
the valve. The larger surface area at the end of the valve allows the force
from line pressure to move the valve against throttle signal fluid pressure.
EXAMPLE A: MINIMUM LINE PRESSURE (minimum throttle)
As the pump continually supplies fluid and line pressure builds, the
pressure regulator valve moves against the force of the pressure regulator valve spring (207) and throttle signal fluid pressure. This opens the
line pressure circuit at the middle of the valve to enter the converter in
fluid circuit. Line pressure continues to increase until the pressure regulator valve moves against the spring far enough to open line pressure to
the suction fluid circuit. Excess line pressure at the middle of the valve
then feeds the suction fluid circuit and flows back to the oil pump.
When this occurs, pump output capacity is regulated into minimum line
pressure.

EXAMPLE B: MAXIMUM LINE PRESSURE (maximum throttle)

The pressure regulator valve is constantly regulating pump volume into
the line pressure required to operate the transmission properly. At higher
throttle positions greater line pressure is required to hold the clutches
and the brake band. Therefore, the Transmission Control Module (TCM)
signals the variable force motor (404) to increase throttle signal fluid
pressure (see page 40 for a complete description of force motor operation). Throttle signal fluid pressure assists spring force and moves the
boost valve (205) against the pressure regulator valve. At maximum
throttle, throttle signal fluid pressure moves the pressure regulator valve
enough to block line pressure from entering either the suction or converter in fluid circuits. Without a fluid circuit to direct line pressure
into at the pressure regulator valve, line pressure increases to a maximum. Under normal operating conditions, line pressure is regulated
between these minimum and maximum points.
Pressure Regulation in Reverse
Line pressure is boosted in a similar manner during Reverse (R) gear
operation. When Reverse is selected, reverse fluid is routed between the
two lands on the boost valve (205). Because the valve land on the side
closest to the pressure regulator valve is larger, reverse fluid pressure
moves the boost valve against the pressure regulator valve. This assists
spring force and throttle signal fluid pressure, thereby increasing line
pressure.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL COMPONENTS

COMPONENTS LOCATED IN THE OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY
PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE TRAIN (203-208)
Pressure Regulator Valve (208)
The pressure regulator valve regulates line pressure according to vehicle
operating conditions. This line pressure is directed into: (a) the converter in fluid circuit which is routed to the converter clutch control
valve (210) and, (b) to the pump suction fluid circuit as part of the
pressure regulation (see page 28). Pressure regulation is controlled by
the pressure regulator spring (207), throttle signal fluid pressure and
reverse fluid pressure.
Boost Valve (205)
Acted on by throttle signal fluid pressure from the force motor solenoid
(404), it moves against the pressure regulator valve. This action moves
the pressure regulator valve to increase line pressure. Therefore, as throttle
position increases and the TCM increases throttle signal fluid pressure
at the force motor solenoid, line pressure increases. Also, when Reverse
(R) gear range is selected, reverse fluid pressure moves the boost valve
against the pressure regulator valve to increase line pressure further.

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) CONTROL VALVE (210)

TCC Released
The converter clutch control valve (210) is held in the release position
by the converter clutch control valve spring (211) (as shown). This
allows converter in fluid to enter the release fluid circuit, flow to the
converter and keep the converter clutch released. Fluid exits the converter in the apply fluid circuit. Apply fluid flows through the converter
clutch control valve and into the cooler fluid circuit.
TCC Apply
To apply the converter clutch, solenoid signal fluid moves the control
valve (210) against spring force. This blocks converter in fluid from
entering the release fluid circuit and opens the release fluid circuit to an
exhaust passage. At the same time, line pressure flows through the valve
and feeds the apply fluid passage. Apply fluid is routed to the converter
to apply the converter clutch and fill the converter with fluid.

Throttle Signal Accumulator Assembly (214-217)

Throttle signal fluid pressure acts on the throttle signal accumulator
piston (214) in all gear ranges. This pressure moves the piston against
throttle signal accumulator spring (215) force, thereby dampening any
pressure irregularities occurring in the throttle signal fluid circuit. However, this dampening only affects irregular pulses in the fluid circuit and
not the normal changes in throttle signal fluid pressure as determined by
the TCM at the force motor solenoid (404).

Feed Limit Valve (412)
The feed limit valve limits feed limit fluid pressure to a maximum
range of 659 kPa to 765 kPa (96 psi to 111 psi). When line pressure is
below this range the force from the feed limit valve spring (410) keeps
the valve fully open and feed limit fluid pressure equals line pressure.
When line pressure is above this range, orificed feed limit fluid pressure at the end of the valve moves the valve against spring force. This
regulates line pressure entering the feed limit fluid circuit and limits
maximum feed limit fluid pressure to the range given above. Feed limit
fluid is routed to the force motor solenoid.
Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Solenoid (416)
The TCC solenoid is a normally closed ON/OFF type solenoid that is
controlled by the TCM. When operating conditions are appropriate for
converter clutch apply the TCM energizes the TCC solenoid. This opens
the solenoid and allows solenoid feed fluid to enter the solenoid signal
fluid circuit. To release the converter clutch the solenoid is de-energized, thereby blocking solenoid feed fluid from entering the solenoid
signal fluid circuit. With the solenoid OFF, solenoid signal fluid pressure exhausts through the solenoid and the converter clutch releases.

1-2/3-4 Shift Valve (304)

The 1-2/3-4 shift valve responds to spring force and D32/1-2 fluid
pressure from the 1-2/3-4 shift solenoid. Also, D32/1-2 fluid pressure at
the spring end of the valve assists spring force in some gear ranges.
Depending on the gear range and the shift solenoid operating state, the
1-2/3-4 shift valve directs or blocks D32/1-2 fluid, servo release fluid,
1-2 regulated fluid and 4th clutch feed 1 fluid. These fluids are routed
into various fluid circuits to apply a clutch or band for the appropriate
gear range - as determined by the TCM or gear selector lever. Also,
some fluids are exhausted through the 1-2/3-4 shift valve to release a
clutch or band during a downshift.

Manual Valve (326)

The manual valve is supplied line pressure from the pressure regulator
valve and is mechanically linked to the gear selector lever. When a gear
range is selected, the manual valve directs line pressure into various
fluid circuits by opening and closing feed passages. The circuits that are
fed by the manual valve include: Reverse, R321, D32, and 1-2. Remember that the mode switch is connected to the end of the transmissions selector shaft (61) and signals the TCM which gear range the
manual valve is positioned.

2-3 Shift Solenoid Assembly (307)

Controlled by the TCM, this is a normally open shift solenoid that
controls the positioning of the 2-3 shift valve. When energized (ON),
the shift solenoid is closed and blocks D32/1-2 fluid from acting on the
solenoid end of the 2-3 shift valve. When de-energized (OFF), the solenoid opens and D32/1-2 fluid pressure flows through the solenoid, acts
on the end of the shift valve and moves the valve against spring force.

Low Pressure Control Valve (312)

The low pressure control valve reduces 3rd clutch apply pressure in
First gear in Manual First and Manual Second to prevent a harsh 2-1
downshift. Spring force and orificed 1-2 regulated fluid pressure regulate 1-2 fluid into the 1-2 regulated fluid circuit. 1-2 regulated fluid
pressure is approximately 50% that of 3rd clutch fluid pressure experienced in Third and Fourth gears. With 1-2 regulated fluid pressure used
to apply the 3rd clutch in these ranges, this regulation provides a slower
apply of the 3rd clutch than experienced in Third gear.

2-3 Shift Valve (308)

The 2-3 shift valve responds to D32/1-2 fluid pressure from the 2-3
shift solenoid, spring force, and also D32 fluid pressure in some gear
ranges. Depending on the gear range operation and the shift solenoid
operating state, the 2-3 shift valve directs or blocks D32 fluid and D32/
1-2 fluid. These fluids are routed into the 4th clutch feed 1 and servo
release fluid circuits respectively. 4th clutch feed 1 and servo release
fluids are also exhausted through the 2-3 shift valve during the downshift from Third to Second gear.

Note: The 1-2 accumulator control spring is not used on all models.

1-2/3-4 Shift Solenoid Assembly (303)

Controlled by the TCM, this is a normally closed shift solenoid that
controls the positioning of the 1-2/3-4 shift valve. When de-energized
(OFF) the solenoid is closed and blocks D32/1-2 fluid from acting on
the solenoid end of the 1-2/3-4 shift valve. When energized (turned
ON), the solenoid opens and D32/1-2 fluid pressure flows through the
solenoid, acts on the solenoid end of the shift valve and moves the valve
against spring force.

1-2 Accumulator Valve Train (318-320)

This valve train is controlled by throttle signal fluid pressure acting on
the 1-2 accumulator control valve (318), in addition to spring force and
orificed 1-2 accumulator fluid pressure acting on the end of the 1-2
accumulator valve (320). These forces control the regulation of D32/1-2

force and an accumulator fluid pressure to create an action similar to a
shock absorber.

Normal Operating Conditions

When the vehicle is stationary and Reverse (R) gear range is selected,
reverse fluid from the manual valve (326) is routed to the end of the
reverse lockout valve. This fluid pressure moves the valve against spring
force, allowing reverse fluid at the middle of the valve to enter the
reverse clutch fluid circuit. Reverse clutch fluid applies the reverse
clutch and Reverse (R) gear range is obtained.

clutch. Note that these two clutches must not be applied at the
me.

During the apply of a clutch, clutch apply fluid pressure moves the
clutch piston against the clutch piston spring and clutch plates. After
the clearance between the clutch plates is taken up by the clutch piston
travel and the clutch plates begin to hold, fluid pressure in the circuit
builds up rapidly. This clutch apply fluid pressure is also directed to an
accumulator assembly. As the clutch apply fluid pressure increases, it
moves the accumulator piston against spring force and accumulator
fluid pressure. Movement of the accumulator piston delays the pressure
buildup in the circuit and allows for a more gradual apply of the clutch.
Without an accumulator in the clutch apply fluid circuit the rapid buildup
of fluid pressure would cause the clutch to apply very quickly and
possibly create a harsh shift.

Reverse Locked Out

When the vehicle is moving forward above approximately 12 km/h (7
mph) and Reverse (R) gear range is selected, the TCM energizes the
TCC solenoid. With the solenoid ON, solenoid feed fluid flows through
the solenoid and fills the solenoid signal fluid circuit. Solenoid signal
fluid is routed to the spring end of the reverse lockout valve, thereby
assisting spring force to keep the valve closed against reverse fluid
pressure. This blocks reverse fluid from entering the reverse clutch
fluid circuit and prevents the transmission from shifting into Reverse.

utch Applied
in Fourth gear, 4th clutch feed 2 fluid is routed to the end of the
clutch valve. This fluid pressure moves the valve against spring
; (1) block line pressure from entering the overrun clutch fluid
and exhaust overrun clutch fluid, thereby releasing the overrun
and (2) allow 4th clutch feed 2 fluid to fill the 4th clutch fluid
thereby applying the 4th clutch.

Accumulator Valve Function

The force of the accumulator spring and accumulator fluid pressure
controls the clutch apply rate. At minimum or light throttle, engine
torque is at a minimum and the clutches require less apply force and a
slower apply rate. At heavy throttle, the engine develops a large amount
of torque that requires a greater apply pressure to hold the clutches and
a faster apply rate to prevent the clutch plates from slipping during
apply. To compensate for these various operating conditions, an accumulator valve regulates accumulator fluid pressure proportional to
throttle position and engine torque.
At greater throttle positions, throttle signal fluid pressure increases and
the accumulator valve regulates accumulator fluid to a higher pressure.
The increase in accumulator fluid pressure decreases the distance that
clutch apply fluid pressure can move the accumulator piston. This decreases the accumulators cushioning effect and allows clutch apply
fluid pressure to increase more rapidly for a faster clutch apply. Remember that throttle signal fluid pressure acting on the accumulator
valves is regulated relative to throttle position and engine torque. Remember that the TCM controls throttle signal fluid pressure through
the force motor solenoid.
1-2 ACCUMULATOR ASSEMBLY (313-316)
The 1-2 accumulator assembly is located in the main case valve body
(84) and consists of a piston (315), piston spring (316) and piston pin
(313). The 1-2 accumulator assembly is the primary device for controlling the apply feel of the 2nd clutch during a 1-2 upshift.
Upshift Control
During a 1-2 upshift (as shown in Figure 31), 2nd clutch fluid is routed
to both the 1-2 accumulator assembly and the 2nd clutch. The rapid
buildup of fluid pressure in the 2nd clutch fluid circuit strokes the
accumulator piston (315) against 1-2 accumulator fluid pressure and
the force from the 1-2 accumulator spring (316). This action absorbs
some of the initial 2nd clutch fluid pressure and provides a time delay
to cushion the 2nd clutch apply.
As 2nd clutch fluid pressure moves the 1-2 accumulator piston some
1-2 accumulator fluid is forced out of the 1-2 accumulator. This fluid is
routed back to the 1-2 accumulator valve train. The orificed 1-2 accumulator fluid pressure acting on the end of the 1-2 accumulator valve
(320) moves the valve train against spring force and throttle signal
fluid pressure. This blocks D32/1-2 fluid and regulates the excess 1-2
accumulator fluid past the 1-2 accumulator valve and through an exhaust port. This regulation provides additional control for the accumulation of 2nd clutch fluid pressure and the 2nd clutch apply rate.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL COMPONENTS

ACCUMULATOR ASSEMBLIES

Downshift Control
During a 2-1 downshift, 2nd clutch fluid exhausts from the 1-2 accumulator assembly. As spring force and 1-2 accumulator fluid pressure
move the 1-2 accumulator piston against exhausting 2nd clutch fluid,
the 1-2 accumulator valve train regulates more D32/1-2 fluid into the
1-2 accumulator fluid circuit. This regulation controls the rate at which
1-2 accumulator fluid fills the 1-2 accumulator. It also helps control the
rate at which 2nd clutch fluid exhausts and the 2nd clutch releases.
Therefore, with higher throttle positions and greater throttle signal fluid
pressure, the accumulator valve will regulate D32/1-2 fluid to fill the 12 accumulator faster. This pressure will then move the accumulator
piston faster, thereby forcing 2nd clutch fluid to exhaust faster and the
2nd clutch to release quicker.

As the servo piston moves to the release position, some servo apply

through the Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) band apply solenoid (323)
and into the D32/1-2 fluid circuit. This excess fluid pressure is regulated back through the pressure regulator valve.

Upshift Control
The 3rd clutch is applied by 3rd clutch fluid pressure which is fed by
servo release fluid. Servo release fluid is also routed to the servo assembly and acts on the release side of the servo piston. Servo release
fluid pressure assists the force from the servo cushion and servo return
springs to move the servo piston against servo apply fluid pressure.
This action moves the servo piston (97) and apply rod (102) away from
the brake band, thereby releasing the band. The movement of the servo
piston absorbs some of the initial 3rd clutch fluid pressure to cushion
the 3rd clutch apply - similar to the accumulation action of the 1-2 and
3-4 accumulators.

Note: Refer to the Electronic Components Section for a detailed description of the PWM solenoid operation.

Note: The accumulator control springs (319 and 408) for the 1-2 and
3-4 accumulator valve trains are not used on all models. Refer to the
appropriate service information for specific application information.

Downshift Control
During a 3-2 downshift, servo release fluid exhausts from the servo
assembly. As the force from the servo cushion spring (99), servo return
spring (103), and servo apply fluid pressure move the servo piston to
the apply position, the PWM solenoid regulates more D32/1-2 fluid
into the servo apply fluid circuit. This regulation controls the rate at
which servo apply fluid pressure fills the servo assembly and moves
the servo piston to apply the brake band. This action also helps control
the rate at which servo release fluid exhausts and the 3rd clutch releases. The PWM solenoid is controlled by the TCM in relation to the
operating conditions of the vehicle.

Located in the adapter case (20), it controls the routing of fluid into the solenoid
feed fluid circuit. Depending on the position of the manual valve and the gear
range the transmission is operating in, either reverse fluid or 2nd clutch fluid
feeds the solenoid feed fluid circuit. If one of these fluids is present it seats the
checkball against the other fluid circuit, which would be empty, and fills the
solenoid feed fluid circuit in preparation for converter clutch apply (reverse fluid
and 2nd clutch fluid are never present at the same time). Remember that converter
clutch apply in Reverse (R) is only during a Reverse Lock Out condition.
CONVERTER CLUTCH APPLY CHECKBALL
Located in release fluid circuit at the end of the turbine shaft (506), it controls the
apply feel of the torque converter clutch (TCC). As the TCC applies, exhausting
release fluid seats, and is orificed around, the checkball. The orifice slows the
exhaust of release fluid and controls the apply feel of the converter clutch. When
the TCC is released, release fluid pressure unseats the checkball and flows freely
past the ball to keep the pressure plate away from the converter cover.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
The Hydra-matic 4L30-E transmission incorporates electronic controls that
utilize a Transmission Control Module (TCM). The TCM gathers vehicle
operating information from the various sensors and controls listed below,
sensors both internal and external to the transmission. The TCM processes
this information and controls the following:

fail-safe mode. In fail-safe mode, the following defaults occur:

The Force Motor solenoid is OFF and line pressure is a maximum to
prevent any clutch slippage.
The PWM Band Apply solenoid is OFF and servo apply fluid pressure is
a maximum to prevent the band from slipping.
The TCC solenoid is OFF and converter clutch apply is prevented.
Both shift solenoids are OFF.

transmission shift points through the shift solenoids,

transmission shift feel through the force motor solenoid,
TCC apply and release timing through the TCC control solenoid, and
the brake band apply rate through the PWM band apply solenoid.

With both shift solenoids OFF (Fourth gear state), the transmission will
operate in Fourth gear when the gear selector lever is in the Drive range
position. However, the driver has some flexibility in gear selection during
fail-safe mode by moving the gear selector lever as follows: (see note)

Electronic control of these transmission operating characteristics provides

consistent and precise shift points and shift quality based on the operating
conditions of both the engine and transmission.

OPERATING MODES
The TCM controls the transmission operation in three modes: Economy
mode, Performance mode, and Winter mode. The driver determines the
transmission operating mode through the Performance/Economy mode
switch and Winter mode switch. Some applications have a Manual mode
where the transmission can be shifted manually, similar to a manual transmission. Refer to page 40 for more information on these different operating modes.

Note: When the system failure is not due to the TCM, and the TCM is
functioning properly, the transmission will operate in Second gear when
the selector lever is in the Manual First position. In this situation the TCM
operates the shift solenoids in a Second gear state. Some applications
have different fail-safe operating states. Refer to the appropriate service
manual for specific information.

or damage the transmission during normal operation, the TCM enters the

ELECTRICAL
CONNECTOR

TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (39)

The transmission output speed sensor is a magnetic inductive pickup
that relays information relative to vehicle speed to the TCM. The
speed sensor is mounted in the side of the transmission extension
assembly (37), opposite of the parking lock wheel (668). The parking
lock wheel is splined to the output shaft and has teeth on its outside
diameter. Therefore, the parking lock wheel rotates at transmission
output speed.

O-RING
ROTOR

The speed sensor assembly consists of a permanent magnet surrounded

by a coil of wire. As the output shaft and parking lock wheel rotate,
an alternating current (AC) is induced in the coil of wire by the teeth
on the parking lock wheel passing by the magnetic pickup. Therefore,
whenever the vehicle is moving, the output speed sensor produces an
AC voltage signal proportional to vehicle speed. As vehicle speed
increases and more teeth pass by the magnetic pickup on the speed
sensor in a given time frame, the frequency of the AC signal increases. An increase in frequency of the AC signal is interpreted by
the TCM as an increase in vehicle speed (see Figure A).

The TCM inhibits TCC apply until transmission fluid temperature

Second, Third and Fourth gears regardless of operating conditions.
Normally the TCC is only applied in Third and Fourth gears. Applying

the fluid coupling in the torque converter when the TCC is released.

the sensor varies according to the operating temperature of the transmission fluid (see chart). The lower the fluid temperature, the higher
the resistance. The TCM interprets this resistance as another input to
help control the converter clutch application through the TCC control
solenoid. This information is also used to control line pressure through

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (TCM inputs/outputs external to the transmission)
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)
Located on the throttle shaft of the TBI unit, the TCM monitors a variable voltage signal from this sensor to calculate throttle position. The
TPS is a potentiometer that varies from approximately .48 volts at minimum throttle position to approximately 4.5 volts at maximum throttle
position. The TCM measures this voltage and uses the information on
throttle position to determine the appropriate shift patterns, shift feel and
TCC apply and release timing. In general, with greater throttle angle and
higher TPS voltage signal, the TCM delays upshift speeds (through shift
solenoid control) and increases line pressure (through force motor solenoid control). Also, the TCM keeps the converter clutch released at
minimum throttle positions and during heavy acceleration.
ENGINE SPEED SENSOR
Monitored as engine RPM by the TCM through the ignition module, this
sensor is used to help determine shift patterns and TCC apply and release timing.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
This sensor monitors engine coolant temperature and sends a variable
resistance signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). When the engine
is cold, resistance through the sensor is high, and when the engine is hot,
resistance is low. The ECM then sends this information to the TCM. The
TCM prevents converter clutch apply when engine coolant temperature
is below approximately 70C (158F).
BRAKE SWITCH
This switch causes the TCM to command TCC release. When the brake
pedal is depressed the TCM opens the path to ground for the TCC
solenoid electrical circuit. This de-energizes the solenoid and releases
the converter clutch.
KICKDOWN SWITCH
This switch is connected to the accelerator pedal. Whereas the TPS
signals throttle position to the TCM, the kickdown switch signals the
TCM when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed. The kickdown switch
is activated when the accelerator pedal travel is approximately 80%.
AIR CONDITIONER INFORMATION SIGNAL
When the A/C pressure cycling switch closes, the TCM is signaled that
the air conditioning compressor is ON and there is an extra load on the
engine. The TCM then adjusts transmission line pressure and shift timing to compensate for the added load on the engine.
ECONOMY/PERFORMANCE MODE PUSHBUTTON SWITCH
Depressing this pushbutton changes the transmission operating mode
between the Economy and Performance driving modes. In Performance
mode, the TCM delays part-throttle upshifts for greater acceleration. The
TCM also signals the force motor solenoid to increase line pressure for
the additional torque requirements in Performance mode. Higher line
pressure creates firmer shifts and more holding force for the friction

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID (416)

The converter clutch solenoid is an ON/OFF solenoid connected to the
adapter case valve body. The solenoid is normally closed and functions
identical to the 1-2/3-4 shift solenoid. When de-energized (OFF), solenoid
spring force keeps the plunger against the fluid inlet port. This blocks
solenoid feed fluid pressure from entering the solenoid signal fluid circuit.
With the plunger in this position the solenoid signal fluid circuit is open
to an exhaust port through the end of the solenoid. Without solenoid
signal fluid pressure the TCC is kept released.

clutches and the brake band. Economy mode provides better fuel economy
by having the TCM initiate earlier part-throttle upshifts. Also, in Economy
mode line pressure is lower to provide smoother upshifts and downshifts.
WINTER MODE PUSHBUTTON SWITCH
In Winter mode the TCM changes the shift solenoid states to start the
transmission in Third gear. By starting to move the vehicle with the
transmission in Third gear, less torque is created, thereby reducing tire
slippage on ice and snow. When the driver selects Winter mode the TCM
overrides the selection of Economy or Performance modes. The TCM
only enters Winter mode when the following conditions are met:

The selector lever is in the Drive Range (D).

Vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6 mph).
Transmission fluid temperature is less than 130C (266F).
The kickdown switch is off and throttle opening is less than 7%.

Winter mode is cancelled if any of the following conditions are met:

The Winter mode button is depressed.
The selector lever is moved from the Drive Range (D) position (the
TCM will remain in Winter mode in Neutral and Reverse).
The ignition key is turned off.
Vehicle speed is greater than 30 km/h (19 mph) for more than one.
Transmission fluid temperature is greater than 130C (266F).
Kickdown switch is activated.
When Winter mode is cancelled by one of these conditions, the TCM
returns to operating in Economy mode, regardless of the operating mode
before selecting Winter mode.
MANUAL MODE (SOME MODELS ONLY)
Some 4L30-E applications can be operated in a Manual mode. When
Manual mode is selected the transmission gear state follows the position
of the gear selector lever as follows:
Gear Selector Lever Position Transmission Gear Operation
Drive Range (D)
Manual Third (3)
Manual Second (2)
Manual First (1)

4th gear
3rd gear
2nd gear
1st gear

This allows the driver to operate the transmission similar to a manually

shifted transmission.

Transmission fluid must be above approximately 30C (86F) bef ore

the TCM will signal TCC apply.
Engine coolant temperature must be above approximately 70C (158F)
before the TCM will signal TCC apply.
In the event of an electrical or system failure the TCC solenoid remains
OFF and the TCC released.

When energized (turned ON) by the TCM, the magnetic field created in
the coil moves the plunger against solenoid spring force, away from the
fluid inlet port, and blocks the exhaust port through the solenoid. This
allows solenoid feed fluid to flow through the solenoid and fill the solenoid
signal fluid circuit. With the exhaust port blocked, solenoid signal fluid
pressure increases, thereby moving the TCC control valve into the apply
position and initiating the TCC apply.

a combination of ON and OFF sequences to control the positions of the
1-2/3-4 and 2-3 shift valves. The TCM uses numerous inputs to determine which solenoid state combination, and which gear range, the

When energized (turned ON) by the TCM, the magnetic field created
in the coil moves the plunger against solenoid spring force, away from
the fluid inlet port, and blocks the exhaust port through the solenoid.
This allows D32/1-2 fluid to flow through the solenoid and act on the
1-2/3-4 shift valve. With the exhaust port blocked, D32/1-2 fluid pressure at the end of the shift valve increases, moves the valve against
spring force and into the Second and Third gear positions (as shown in
Example B).
2-3 Shift Solenoid (307)
Located at the end of the 2-3 shift valve (308), the 2-3 shift solenoid is
normally open and fed D32/1-2 fluid. When de-energized (OFF), D32/
1-2 fluid pressure moves the solenoid checkball against solenoid spring
force. This also moves the plunger in the solenoid to block the exhaust
port in the solenoid. D32/1-2 fluid flows past the ball and acts on the 23 shift valve. With the exhaust port blocked, D32/1-2 fluid pressure at
the end of the shift valve increases. D32/1-2 fluid pressure moves the
shift valve against 2-3 shift valve spring (305) force and into the Third
and Fourth gear position (as shown in Example B).
When energized (ON - Example A) by the TCM, the magenetic field
created in the coil moves the plunger against the solenoid checkball.
The force from the plunger assists spring force and seats the ball against
the fluid inlet port, thereby blocking D32/1-2 fluid. With the plunger in
this position, residual D32/1-2 fluid at the end of the shift valve is open
to the exhaust passage through the solenoid. This allows shift valve
spring force to move the 2-3 shift valve into the First and Second gear
position.

Located at the end of the 1-2/3-4 shift valve (304), the 1-2/3-4 shift
solenoid is normally closed and fed D32/1-2 fluid. When de-energized
(OFF), solenoid spring force keeps the plunger against the fluid inlet
port. This blocks D32/1-2 fluid pressure from acting on the 1-2/3-4

Brake Band Release

The solenoid state during the band release depends on vehicle speed
and gear selector lever position. During a shift from a forward Drive
Range to Park, Reverse, or Neutral, or a 2-3 upshift at speeds above
approximately 20 km/h (13 mph), the TCM operates the solenoid at a
0% duty cycle (solenoid valve to the right - fully open). This allows
excess servo apply fluid pressure to exhaust quickly through the solenoid, thereby releasing the band quickly.

PULSE WIDTH MODULATED (PWM) BAND APPLY SOLENOID

PERCENT DUTY CYCLE

Figure B shows an example of the relation between Percent Duty Cycle

and Time that controls the brake band apply rate. The TCM immediately increases the solenoid duty cycle to between 0% and 80% (point
A). Once the band applies, the duty cycle immediately decreases to 0%
and the solenoid is de-energized (turned OFF) to achieve maximum
servo apply fluid pressure (point B). The value of the duty cycle controls the brake band apply rate and apply feel as determined by vehicle
application and operating conditions.

(ON)

Without D32/1-2 fluid pressure at the end of the valve, the fluid dynamics acting on the valve shifts it completely to the left (with respect
to the drawing). This blocks D32/1-2 fluid from entering the valve and
supplying the servo apply fluid circuit. A higher percent duty cycle
increases the current flowing through the solenoid, thereby increasing
the coil's magnetic field. This keeps the checkball further toward the
exhaust seat, and the valve further to the left, to provide a slower
increase in servo apply fluid pressure and slower apply of the brake
band.

70%

Brake Band Application Rate

If the solenoid remained OFF and fully open (0% duty cycle) during
the band apply, servo apply fluid pressure would increase too rapidly
and create a harsh shift. Therefore, to control the band apply rate, the
solenoids duty cycle is increased from 0%. The TCM sends an electrical current through the solenoid coil at the same rate as the duty cycle
which creates a magnetic field that magnetizes the center pole (grey
cross hatch area). The magnetized pole repels the ball against spring
force, seating the ball against the inlet port. This allows D32/1-2 fluid
from the end of the valve to exhaust past the ball and through the
solenoid.

30%

12

Brake Band Applied

When the band is applied, the electrical path to ground for the solenoid
is always open and the negative duty cycle is 0%. Therefore, current
does not flow through the coil in the solenoid and the PWM solenoid is
always OFF (as shown in the drawing). With the solenoid OFF, solenoid spring force holds the ball away from the D32/1-2 fluid inlet port
and against the exhaust seat in the solenoid. This allows D32/1-2 fluid
to flow through the inlet port, past the ball, and into the two passages
leading to the solenoid valve. This D32/1-2 fluid pressure moves the
valve completely to the right (with respect to the drawing). With the
valve in this position, D32/1-2 fluid flows through the valve and enters
the servo apply fluid circuit.

Note: The duty cycle percentages in Figure B are only approximate

values and do vary with vehicle application and vehicle operating
conditions.

The PWM solenoid operates on a negative duty cycle. This means that
the ground (negative or low) side of the solenoid circuit is controlled
by the TCM. The solenoid is constantly fed approximately 12 volts to
the high (positive) side and the TCM controls the length of time the
path to ground for the electrical circuit is closed (duty cycle). When the
TCM closes the solenoid ground circuit, current flows through the
solenoid and the ground circuit is at a low voltage state (0 volts and
solenoid energized).

Approximately every 15 seconds the TCM pulses the band apply solenoid to either a maximum or minimum duty cycle. These pulses function to prevent possible contamination from sticking the solenoid valve
or plunger in any given position.

Figure A shows an example of the PWM solenoid operating with a

70% negative duty cycle at the constant operating frequency of 32 Hz
(cycles per second). The frequency means that when the solenoid is
energized it is pulsed with current from the TCM 32 times each second. The 70% duty cycle means that during each cycle (1/32 of a
second) the solenoid is energized (ON) and closed 70% of the time
(see inset in Figure A). With the solenoid being normally open, a
greater duty cycle equates to the solenoid being closed more often and
less fluid flowing through the solenoid (closed with respect to D32/1-2
fluid entering the valve and servo apply fluid circuit).

During a 2-3 upshift at low speed, below approximately 20 km/h (13

mph), the TCM operates the solenoid at 100% duty cycle. With a 100%
duty cycle the solenoid valve is positioned completely to the left, with
respect to the cutaway view of the solenoid, and blocks exhausting
servo apply fluid from entering the valve and the D32/1-2 fluid circuit.
This forces the exhausting servo apply fluid pressure through orifice
#17/19e. orificing this fluid slows the exhaust and creates a slower
band release. At low speeds a slow band release is needed to prevent a
harsh release feel.

General Operation
The PWM solenoid is a normally open solenoid that controls the brake
band apply and release. This is accomplished by the TCM varying the
solenoids duty cycle (percent time energized) in relation to vehicle
operating conditions and the various TCM input signals. The brake
band is always applied in First and Second gears.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
FORCE MOTOR (404)
The variable force motor solenoid, controlled by the TCM, is a precision electronic pressure regulator that controls line pressure. The force
motor operates at approximately 600 Hz (cycles per second) and regulates feed limit fluid pressure into the throttle signal fluid circuit. The
TCM controls the pressure that throttle signal fluid is regulated at by
varying the current at the force motor coil. The amount of current is
controlled by the duty cycle of the force motor. A greater duty cycle
creates a higher current at the force motor. Similar to the PWM solenoid, the duty cycle represents the percent time that current flow
energizes the coil. The high frequency of the force motor acts to
smooth the pulses created by the duty cycle energizing and de-energizing the force motor.

FIGURE A: FORCE MOTOR (OFF)

Under normal operating conditions between maximum and minimum

throttle positions, the TCM varies the duty cycle which varies current
flow to the force motor between approximately 0.1 and 1.1 amps to
control throttle signal fluid pressure. This regulates the valve between
opening and closing the exhaust port to regulate throttle signal fluid
pressure. Throttle signal fluid pressure then controls line pressure at
the pressure regulator valve accordingly (see chart). If the electrical
system becomes disabled for any reason, current flow will be 0.0
amps and the force motor will regulate maximum throttle signal fluid
pressure. This creates maximum line pressure to prevent any apply
components from slipping until the condition can be corrected.

Approximately every 20 seconds the TCM pulses the force motor at

either maximum (100% duty cycle) or minimum current flow (0%
duty cycle) depending on the force motor operating conditions. These
pulses function to prevent possible contamination from sticking the
force motor valve or plunger in any given position.

THROTTLE
SIGNAL
FLUID

At maximum throttle, the duty cycle is a minimum and current flow

approaches 0.1 amps (always de-energized or OFF as shown in the
drawing). Therefore, the magnetic field is a minimum and spring force
holds the plunger, armature and valve to the left (with respect to the
drawing) against throttle signal fluid pressure acting on the end of the
valve. This closes the exhaust port and opens the throttle signal fluid
circuit to feed limit fluid, creating maximum throttle signal fluid pressure.

Throttle signal fluid pressure also acts on the accumulator valve to

increase accumulator pressure, and apply rate of the clutches and
bands, as throttle angle increases. Remember that with greater accumulator fluid pressure there is less cushion for clutch apply fluid.

ARMATURE SPRING

At minimum throttle (idle), the duty cycle is a maximum and current

flow approaches 1.1 amps (always energized - ON). This keeps the
armature forced against the plunger and compressing the spring. Therefore, throttle signal fluid pressure acting on the end of the force motor
valve moves the valve towards the armature and blocks the feed limit
fluid circuit. The throttle signal fluid circuit is then open to an exhaust
port and throttle signal fluid pressure is at minimum.

EXHAUST

Current flow to the force motor coil creates a magnetic field that
attracts the armature, thereby moving the plunger to the right (with
respect to the drawing) against spring force. Note that the force motor
is assembled with some transmission fluid inside. This fluid assists the
damper spring in cushioning the armature movement.

VALVE

The duty cycle and amount of current flow to the force motor are
mainly affected by throttle position. Both current flow and duty cycle
are inversely proportional to throttle angle; as throttle angle increases,
the duty cycle is decreased by the TCM which decreases current flow.

FEED
LIMIT
FLUID

The TCM operates the force motor on a positive duty cycle. This
means that the high (positive) side of the force motor electrical circuit
at the TCM controls the force motor operation. Therefore, the TCM
always provides a ground path for the circuit and continually adjusts
the force motor duty cycle depending on vehicle and transmission
operating conditions. A positive duty cycle is measured as approximately 12 volts on the high (positive) side of the force motor when the
force motor is energized (ON). Figure A shows an example of a 60%
positive force motor duty cycle.

The manual selector shaft (61) and manual valve (326) are in the

In Reverse (R), torque from the engine is multiplied through the

torque converter (1) and transmission gear sets to the vehicles
drive shaft and rear axle. The planetary gear sets operate in
reduction and also reverse the direction of input torque to achieve
a reverse gear ratio of approximately 2.00:1.

Engine torque is transmitted from the torque converter turbine to

than engine torque is driving the 3rd clutch drum (634). Therefore, the short pinion gears - driven by vehicle speed - drive the

Reverse Locked Out (inset in Figure 43)

Note: The hydraulic system in Reverse operates in the same manner as Park (P) range except as described above. In each of the
following gear ranges, most of the hydraulic and electrical systems
explanation is limited to what changes from the previous range.
Therefore, if a component or circuit is not explained, it functions
similar to the range on the previous page. However, some explanations are repeated for clarity and continuity.

REV LOCKOUT

OVERRUN LOCKOUT

Reverse fluid is also directed to the boost valve (205) at the end of
the pressure regulator valve (208). Reverse fluid pressure moves
these valves to increase line pressure for the additional torque requirements in Reverse.
Throttle signal fluid pressure also acts on the boost valve to help
determine line pressure in Reverse depending on throttle position
and other TCM input signals.
The 1-2/3-4 shift solenoid is de-energized (OFF) and the 2-3 shift
solenoid is energized (ON) - as in Park range. Also, line pressure
remains blocked by the manual valve, thereby preventing fluid pressure from acting on the shift valves (see Note below).

Solenoid feed fluid enters the solenoid signal fluid circuit through
the open converter clutch solenoid.
Solenoid signal fluid is directed to the reverse lockout valve. Solenoid signal fluid pressure, in addition to spring force, closes the
valve against orificed reverse fluid pressure.
Reverse fluid is blocked from entering the reverse clutch fluid circuit. Also, the reverse clutch fluid circuit is open to an exhaust port
at the reverse lockout valve. Therefore, the reverse clutch cannot
apply. During Reverse Lock Out, the transmission operates in a
Neutral condition.
Solenoid signal fluid pressure is also directed to the converter clutch
control valve and shifts the valve to the apply position. Therefore,
the converter clutch is applied when the transmission is in a Reverse Lock Out condition.
When vehicle speed decreases sufficiently, the TCM will de-energize the TCC solenoid. This opens the solenoid and allows solenoid
signal fluid to exhaust, the reverse clutch to apply and the TCC to
release.

Pressure Regulation

A Reverse Lock Out condition is available on some applications

to prevent the transmission from applying the reverse clutch, and
possibly damaging the transmission components, when the vehicle
is moving forward. If Reverse (R) is selected with vehicle speed
above approximately 12 km/h (7 mph), the TCM will energize
(turn ON) the converter clutch solenoid. Remember that the mode
switch [located on the selector shaft (61)] signals the TCM that the
transmission is in Reverse (R). This opens the normally closed
solenoid and the following events occur:

Reverse Locked Out

R321 fluid flows through an orifice, back through the manual valve
and into the reverse fluid circuit.
Reverse fluid pressure seats the reverse shuttle valve (85) against the
2nd clutch fluid circuit and enters the solenoid feed fluid circuit.
With the vehicle stationary the TCM keeps the converter clutch
solenoid de-energized (OFF). This prevents solenoid feed fluid from
entering the solenoid signal fluid circuit. However, if the vehicle is
moving forward above approximately 12 km/h (7 mph) when Reverse is selected, the reverse clutch is prevented from applying (see
Reverse Locked Out below).
Reverse fluid is orificed to the end of the reverse lockout valve
(706). This fluid pressure moves the valve against spring force and
reverse fluid at the middle of the valve enters the reverse clutch fluid
circuit.
Reverse clutch fluid pressure is directed to the reverse clutch piston
(610) to apply the reverse clutch plates (614- 616).

D32/1-2 fluid pressure moves the 1-2/3-4 shift valve against

spring force and D32/1-2 fluid pressure at the spring end of the
valve. This shifts the valve into the Second and Third gear position.

Engine torque is transmitted to the 3rd clutch drum assembly

(634) from the converter turbine in the same manner as First and
Second Gears: The overrun clutch plates (520-522) are applied,
the overdrive roller clutch (516) is holding and there is a 1:1
direct drive ratio through the overdrive gear set.

As vehicle speed increases further, the TCM processes the input

signals from the VSS, TPS and other vehicle sensors to determine the precise moment to shift the transmission into Third
gear. In Third gear, both planetary gear sets rotate at the same
speed, thereby providing a 1:1 direct drive gear ratio between
the converter turbine and output shaft.

The 3rd clutch plates (641-643) are applied and transfer engine

Sprag Clutch Holding

The sprag clutch (650) is locked in drive as in Park, Reverse,

Neutral and First gear. However, the 3rd clutch plates function as
the primary holding force to transfer engine torque to the input
sun gear.
The 2nd clutch plates (625-627) remain applied as in Second

to the 2nd clutch drum (618) and ring gear (630).

With both the input sun gear and ring gear rotating at converter

Therefore, a 1:1 direct drive gear ratio is obtained between the

gear assembly cannot overrun the sprag clutch (650) during coast

At the same time, servo release fluid pressure moves the servo
piston against servo apply fluid pressure and the force from the
servo cushion and servo return springs (99 and 103). This action
has two functions:
- act as an accumulator for 3rd clutch fluid pressure (which is
fed by servo release fluid) to cushion the 3rd clutch apply.
- move the servo apply rod (102) and release the band.
As the servo piston moves, some servo apply fluid is forced out
of the servo assembly. This excess servo apply fluid is directed to
the Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) solenoid and the orifice between the D32/1-2 and servo apply fluid circuits. The exhaust of
this servo apply fluid depends on vehicle speed.
- Above 20 km/h (13 mph) the TCM de-energizes and opens the
PWM solenoid (0% duty cycle). Excess servo apply fluid can
then exhaust through the solenoid and into the D32/1-2 fluid
circuit. This excess fluid is absorbed into other circuits and
regulated at the pressure regulator valve.
- Below 20 km/h (13 mph) the TCM energizes the solenoid to a
100% duty cycle. This closes the solenoid and forces exhausting servo apply fluid through orifice #17/19e. Orificing the
exhausting fluid provides a slower band release and slower 3rd
clutch apply which is needed at low speeds.

If the converter clutch is applied in Third gear, the TCM will deenergize the converter clutch solenoid to release the TCC during
upshift to Fourth gear. Once in Fourth gear, the TCM will reapply the TCC when vehicle operating conditions are appropriate.
Figure 55 shows the converter clutch solenoid energized, solenoid feed fluid entering the solenoid signal fluid circuit and the
TCC applied.

Torque Converter Clutch

D32/1-2 fluid is blocked by the 1-2/3-4 shift valve from entering

the 2nd clutch fluid circuit. However, the servo release fluid
circuit is open to feed the 2nd clutch fluid circuit and keep the
2nd clutch applied.
3rd clutch feed fluid exhausts past the 1-2/3-4 shift valve, through
the 1-2 regulator fluid circuit and out an exhaust port at the low
pressure control valve (312).
With 3rd clutch feed fluid exhausted, servo release fluid pressure
seats the 3rd clutch check valve (85) against the empty 3rd clutch
feed fluid circuit. In Fourth gear, only servo release fluid feeds
the 3rd clutch fluid circuit to keep the 3rd clutch applied.

OVERRUN LOCKOUT

4TH CLUTCH

Note: When the shift is completed the 3-4 accumulator valve

will again regulate line pressure into the 3-4 accumulator fluid
circuit. Refer to page 32A for a complete description of the
accumulator system function.

2ND CL

3-4 Shift Accumulation

At the same time, 4th clutch fluid is directed to the 3-4 accumulator piston (18). 4th clutch fluid pressure moves the piston against
3-4 accumulator fluid pressure and 3-4 accumulator spring (408)
force. This action absorbs some 4th clutch fluid pressure and
cushions the 4th clutch apply.
3-4 accumulator fluid is forced out of the 3-4 accumulator from
the movement of the 3-4 accumulator piston. This fluid is routed
to the middle, and orificed to the end, of the 3-4 accumulator
valve (407).
Orificed 3-4 accumulator fluid pressure moves the 3-4 accumulator valve and 3-4 accumulator control valve (409) against throttle
signal fluid pressure and, on some models, spring force. This
action blocks line pressure and regulates the exhaust of excess 34 accumulator fluid past the valve.

The normally closed 1-2/3-4 shift solenoid is de-energized by the

TCM and blocks D32/1-2 fluid pressure from acting on the end
of the 1-2/3-4 shift valve (304). D32/1-2 fluid at the end of the
valve exhausts through the solenoid.
Spring force moves the 1-2/3-4 shift valve into the First and
Fourth Gear position. This allows 4th clutch feed 1 fluid to enter
the 4th clutch feed 2 fluid circuit.
4th clutch feed 2 fluid is directed to the end of the overrun
lockout valve (705). This fluid pressure moves the valve against
spring force, thereby causing the following:
- The overrun lockout valve blocks line pressure from entering
the overrun clutch fluid circuit. Overrun clutch fluid exhausts
from the overrun clutch piston (513) and through an exhaust
port at the overrun lockout valve, thereby releasing the overrun clutch plates (520, 521).
- Orificed 4th clutch feed 2 fluid at the middle of the overrun
lockout valve enters the 4th clutch fluid circuit. 4th clutch
fluid pressure is routed to the 4th clutch piston (532) to apply
the 4th clutch plates (502, 503).

Overrun Clutch Releases and 4th Clutch Applies

Drive Range - Fourth Gear is an overdrive gear ratio used to

maximize engine efficiency and fuel economy under most normal driving conditions. To shift the transmission into Fourth

A forced 4-3 downshift in Drive Range is achieved by increasing the throttle valve angle (percentage of accelerator pedal
travel - throttle position) while the vehicle is operating with the
transmission in Fourth gear. A 4-3 downshift can also occur
when the vehicle is decelerating during coast conditions or when
engine load is increased.

If the converter clutch is applied in Fourth gear the TCM will

release the TCC during the downshift to Third gear. Under
normal operating conditions in Third gear the TCM will reapply the converter clutch. The converter clutch also releases
under minimum and heavy throttle conditions as measured by
the throttle position sensor (TPS). Figure 56 shows the TCC

Manual Second (2) gear range is available to the driver when

vehicle operating conditions make it desirable to use only two
gear ratios. These conditions include descending a steep grade
when increased engine compression braking is needed, or to

engine performance.
In Manual Second the transmission can upshift between First
and Second gears but is prevented from shifting into Third or
Fourth gear under normal operating conditions. However, if
vehicle speed is above approximately 120 km/h (75 mph), the
transmission will operate in a Manual Second - Third Gear

transmission will downshift into Second gear.

1-2 regulated fluid is routed to the 1-2/3-4 shift valve where it is

In Manual Second, as in Manual Third, the TCM electronically

prevents the transmission from operating in Fourth gear regardless of vehicle operating conditions. However, if an electrical
failure occurs, both shift solenoids will be de-energized (thereby
in a Fourth gear state) and 4th clutch feed 2 fluid would be routed
to the overrun lockout valve (705). To prevent Fourth gear in this
situation, 1-2 fluid is routed to the overrun lockout valve. 1-2
fluid pressure assists spring force and prevents the overrun lockout valve from shifting into the Fourth gear position, thereby
preventing Fourth gear.

ASSEMBLY

Manual Second (2) may be selected at any time while operating

the vehicle in a forward gear range. If vehicle speed is above
approximately 120 km/h (75 mph) when Manual Second is
selected, the TCM will keep the transmission in a Manual
Second - Third Gear state until vehicle speed slows sufficiently.
However, the transmission is hydraulically and electronically
prevented from operating in Fourth gear. Figure 61 and the
following text describe the downshift from Manual Third - Third
Gear to Manual Second - Second Gear.

Manual First (1) is available to the driver when vehicle operating conditions require maximum engine compression braking to
slow the vehicle, or maintain maximum transfer of engine torque
to the vehicle drive shaft.
Under normal operating conditions in Manual First the transmission is prevented from upshifting past First gear. When
Manual First is selected while operating in either Second, Third
or Fourth gears, the transmission may not immediately downshift into First gear. Vehicle speed must be below approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) before the transmission downshifts
into First gear. Above this speed, the transmission will operate
in a Manual First - Second Gear condition until vehicle speed
decreases sufficiently.

However, in Manual First the 3rd clutch plates (641-643) are

applied and transfer torque from the 3rd clutch drum (634) to
the input sun gear assembly (646) during acceleration. Therefore, when the throttle is released and vehicle speed drives the
output shaft and carrier assembly (653), the input sun gear cannot overrun the sprag clutch. This creates a direct mechanical
link through the transmission, and engine compression provides
braking to slow the vehicle when the throttle is released.

Line pressure is regulated into the 1-2 accumulator fluid circuit by

the 1-2 accumulator valve (320). This fluid fills the 1-2 accumulator
as 2nd clutch fluid pressure exhausts.

3rd clutch fluid pressure is routed to the 3rd clutch piston (638) to
apply the 3rd clutch plates (642, 643). The 3rd clutch provides engine compression braking in Manual First - First Gear.

2nd clutch fluid exhausts from the second clutch piston (622), 1-2
accumulator piston (315), reverse shuttle valve (85) and solenoid
feed fluid circuit. This releases the 2nd clutch plates (626, 627) and
prevents the TCC from applying.

3rd clutch feed fluid pressure seats the 3rd clutch check valve (85)
against the empty servo release fluid circuit. This fluid is then orificed
into the 3rd clutch fluid circuit.

Third Gear Prevented

With D32 and servo release fluids exhausted, Third gear is also
hydraulically prevented. Therefore, at speeds above approximately
60 km/h (37 mph) the transmission will immediately shift into a
Manual First - Second Gear condition.

Note: Fourth gear is also prevented electronically by the TCM in

the Manual Gear Ranges.

The 1-2/3-4 shift valve blocks D32/1-2 fluid from entering the 2nd

OVERRUN CL

Fourth Gear Prevented

1-2 fluid pressure at the overrun lockout valve assists spring force.
This prevents the valve from shifting into the Fourth gear position
under any conditions, thereby hydraulically preventing 4th clutch
apply.

Spring force moves the 1-2/3-4 shift valve to the First and Fourth
gear position.

Line pressure at the manual valve feeds the 1-2 fluid circuit. 1-2 fluid
is directed to the overrun lockout valve, D32 shuttle valve, and low
pressure control valve (312).

The manual valve blocks line pressure from entering the D32 fluid
circuit. D32 fluid exhausts at the manual valve.

The mode switch, located on the selector shaft, signals the TCM that
the transmission is in Manual First.

The gear selector lever, selector shaft (61), and manual valve (326)
are in the Manual First (1) position.

When vehicle speed slows sufficiently, the TCM de-energizes the 12/3-4 shift solenoid (303). This closes the solenoid and prevents
D32/1-2 fluid pressure from acting on the end of the 1-2/3-4 shift
valve. D32/1-2 fluid at the end of the valve exhausts through the end
of the solenoid.

Manual First (1) may be selected at any time while operating the
vehicle in a forward gear range. However, the downshift to First
gear is controlled electronically by the TCM. The TCM will not deenergize the 1-2/3-4 shift solenoid for the downshift until vehicle
speed is below approximately 60 km/h (37 mph). Above this speed,
the transmission will operate in a Manual First - Second Gear
condition until vehicle speed slows sufficiently. In Manual First,
the transmission is prevented from operating in Third or Fourth
gears. Also, once in First gear, the TCM prevents the transmission
from shifting into Second gear. Figure 63 and the text below describe the shift from Manual Second - Second Gear to Manual First
- First Gear.

COMPLETE HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS

The hydraulic circuitry of the Hydra-matic 4L30E transmission is better understood when fluid
flow can be related to the specific components in
which the fluid travels. In the Power Flow section,
a simplified hydraulic schematic was given to
show what hydraulically occurs in a specific gear
range. The purpose was to isolate the hydraulics
used in each gear range in order to provide the user
with a basic understanding of the hydraulic system.

checkballs and orifices within specific

components. A broken line is also used to separate
components such as the converter housing, pump,
valve bodies, adapter case and main case to assist
the user when following the hydraulic circuits as
they pass between them. The half page of
information facing this foldout identifies the
components involved in this gear range and a
description of how they function.

In contrast, this section shows a complete

hydraulic schematic with fluid passages active in
the appropriate component for each gear range.
This is accomplished using two opposing foldout
pages that are separated by a half page of
supporting information.

The right side foldout shows a two-dimensional

line drawing of the fluid passages within each
component. The active fluid passages for each
gear range are appropriately colored to correspond
with the hydraulic schematic used for that range.
The half page of information facing this foldout
identifies the various fluid circuits with numbers
that correspond to the circuit numbers used on
the foldout page.

The left side foldout contains the complete color

coded hydraulic circuit used in that gear range
along with the relative location of valves,

HYDRA-MATIC PRODUCT DESIGNATION SYSTEM

The product designation system used for all Hydra-matic
transaxles and transmissions consists of a series of numbers
and letters that correspond with the special features incorporated in that product line. The first character is a number that
designates the number of forward gear ranges available in that
unit. For example: 4 = four forward gear ranges.
The second character is a letter that designates how the unit is
mounted in the vehicle. When the letter T is used, it
designates that the unit is transversely mounted and is used
primarily for front wheel drive vehicles. The letter L
designates that it is longitudinally mounted in the vehicle and
it is used primarily for rear wheel drive vehicles. The letter
M designates that the unit is a manual transaxle or transmission but not specific to a front or rear wheel drive vehicle
application.

The third and fourth characters consists of a set of numbers,

(i.e. 30), that designate the transaxle or transmission Series number. This number signifies the relative torque
capacity of the unit.
The fifth character designates the major features incorporated
into this unit. For example, the letter E designates that the
unit has electronic controls.
By using this method of classification, the HYDRA-MATIC
4L30-E is a 4-speed, longitudinally mounted, 30 series unit.
