Where is the Transmission Valve Body Located?
1 Answers
The transmission valve body is located above the transmission oil pan. After removing the oil pan, the valve body can be seen. The valve body is the control mechanism of the transmission. Only automatic transmissions have valve bodies; manual transmissions do not. Generally, the valve body on a transmission is used for shifting between high and low gears. When the vehicle speed reaches a certain gear, the hydraulic oil pushes the valve body to automatically shift to that gear. Automatic transmissions can automatically change the transmission ratio based on engine load, vehicle speed, and other factors, providing the vehicle with good power performance and fuel economy while reducing engine emissions. Automatic transmissions are easy to operate and can significantly improve driving safety and reliability in congested traffic conditions.
