Transmission Valve Body Assembly
The transmission valve body assembly consists of the upper and lower valve bodies and 5 shift solenoid valves.
The 5 shift solenoid valves are installed in the lower valve body for serviceability.

OPERATION
Steel Belt Clamping Force Control
To ensure the proper control of the belt clamping pressure necessary for transmitting torque, the system controls the hydraulic pressure applied to the secondary pulley. The transmission valve body assembly is provided with a dedicated hydraulic pressure circuit for belt clamping pressure control. This circuit optimally controls the hydraulic pressure applied to the secondary pulley, thus achieving superior torque transmission performance.

Speed Ratio Control (Shift Control)
Pulley ratio control is effected by controlling the inflow and outflow of the CVT fluid to and from the primary pulley. Separate hydraulic circuits are provided for acceleration (fluid inflow) and deceleration (fluid outflow) in order to provide fine-tuned control and a high level of reliability.
