When the selector lever is moved to the Neutral (N) position, the manual valve is positioned to allow line pressure to enter two (2) passages as follows:

FIRST: It enters the Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Intermediate (RNDI) passage. RNDI oil is directed to the seat RNDI and detent check ball (6), and to the throttle valve where it is regulated to a variable pressure called throttle valve (T.V.) pressure. T.V. pressure increases with carburetor opening and is directed to the shift throttle valve. This valve limits shift T.V. oil pressure from going above 620 kPa (90 psi).

Shift T.V. oil is then directed to the 1-2 and 2-3 throttle valves, T.V. boost valve, T.V. plunger and the 1-2 accumulator valve.

Shift T.V. oil acting on the T.V. boost valve will boost line pressure according to throttle opening.

SECOND: Line pressure enters the Reverse, Neutral, Drive (RND) passage and is directed to a land on the 2-3 shift valve.

SUMMARY
The converter is filled; all the clutches and the band are released; the transmission is in Neutral (N).
