Working/lubrication/shift pressure in general
The oil pressures are separated into:
^ Working pressure
^ Lubricating pressure
^ Shift pressure

Working pressure
The working pressure supplies pressure to the hydraulic control and transmission elements.

The working pressure is the highest hydraulic pressure in the automatic transmission. The level of working pressure is regulated at the working pressure regulating valve depending on current load and the gear engaged. All other pressures required for the transmission control are derived from the working pressure.

Lubricating pressure
Excess oil is diverted to the lubrication pressure regulating valve at the working pressure regulating valve and from there used in a regulated manner for lubricating and cooling the mechanical transmission parts and torque converter.

In addition the pressure in the torque converter is limited via the lubrication pressure.

Shift pressure
The level of shift pressure is determined by the shift pressure control solenoid valve (Y3/6y2) and shift pressure regulating valve. It regulates the pressure in the engaging actuator during the shift phase. The shift pressure together with the modulating pressure determines the pressure reduction regulated by the overlap regulating valve on the closing shift element and initializes the 2nd, gear in limp-home mode.
