2-4 Band Applied – Second Gear
To apply the 2-4 band in Second gear,
2nd clutch fluid is routed to the apply
side of the 2nd apply piston (17). 2nd
clutch fluid pressure moves the piston
against servo cushion (16) and servo
return (12) spring forces. These spring
forces help cushion the 2-4 band apply in
Second gear. The 2nd apply piston moves
the apply pin (13) to compress the band
around the reverse input housing.
2-4 Band Release and 3-4 Clutch
Accumulation
In Third gear, 3rd accumulator fluid is
routed to the release side of the 2nd apply
piston. The surface area on the release
2-4 BAND
The servo assembly and 2-4
band (602) are located in the
front of the transmission case
and applied in Second and
Fourth gears. In Third gear,
the servo assembly releases
the band and acts as an
accumulator for the 3-4 clutch
apply. The band is held
stationary to the transmission
case by the band anchor pin
(49) and wraps around the
reverse input housing (605).
When compressed by the
servo assembly, the 2-4 band
holds the reverse input
housing stationary to the
transmission case.
side of the 2nd apply piston (17) and
servo cushion spring retainer (15) is
greater than the surface area that 2nd
clutch fluid pressure covers on the apply
side of the piston. Therefore, the force
from 3rd accumulator fluid pressure, in
addition to servo return spring (12) force,
overcomes the force of 2nd clutch fluid
pressure. The 2nd apply piston then
moves the apply pin (13) away from the
2-4 band to release the band from the
reverse input housing.
3rd accumulator fluid is fed by 3-4 clutch
fluid which is used to apply the 3-4
clutch. The movement of the 2nd apply
piston against 2nd clutch fluid pressure
acts as an accumulator to absorb initial 3-
4 clutch apply fluid. This action helps
cushion the 3-4 clutch apply, as well as
release the 2-4 band.
2-4 Band Applied – Fourth Gear
In Fourth gear, 4th fluid is routed through
the center of the apply pin and acts on the
apply side of the 4th apply piston (25).
4th fluid pressure moves the 4th apply
piston (25) and apply pin (13) to apply
the band. The 4th apply piston moves
against the 4th apply spring (22) to help
cushion the band apply in Fourth gear.
No upshift in 1st gear could
be caused by a worn or
damaged 2-4 band or if the
band anchor pin is not
engaged.
REVERSE INPUT CLUTCH
The reverse input clutch is located in the
reverse input housing (605) and is used to
provide an input to drive the vehicle in
Reverse (R). The steel clutch plates (612A)
are splined to the reverse input housing while
the fiber clutch plates (612B) are splined to
the input housing and turbine shaft assembly
(621). When applied, the reverse input clutch
transfers engine torque from the input housing
to the reverse input housing.
Reverse Input Clutch Applied
To apply the reverse input clutch, reverse
input fluid is fed from the oil pump, through
the stator shaft (214) and to the reverse input
housing. Feed holes in the inner hub of the
reverse input housing allow reverse input fluid
to enter the housing behind the reverse input
clutch piston (607). Any air in the reverse
input fluid circuit will exhaust through the
fluid bleed hole to prevent excess cushion
during the clutch apply. As fluid pressure
increases, the piston compresses the steel,
fiber and belleville (611) clutch plates
together until they are held against the reverse
input clutch backing plate (613). The backing
plate is splined to the housing and held in
place by the retaining ring (614).
With the clutch plates applied, the belleville
plate is compressed to cover the fluid bleed
hole and prevent fluid from exhausting. The
belleville plate also functions to assist spring
force in cushioning the clutch apply. When
fully applied, the steel and fiber plates are
locked together to hold the reverse input
housing and input housing together.
No reverse/slips in reverse could be caused by:
•Porosity in the piston.
•Excessive clutch plate travel.
•Clutch plate retaining ring out of groove.
•Return spring assembly retaining ring out of groove.
•Belleville plate installed incorrectly.

To release the reverse input clutch,
reverse input fluid exhausts from the
reverse input housing and back through
the stator shaft. Without fluid pressure,
force from the piston spring assembly
and belleville plate moves the reverse
input clutch piston away from the clutch
pack. This disengages the clutch plates
from the backing plate and disconnects
the reverse input housing from the input
housing assembly.
Centrifugal force, resulting from th
reverse input housing rotating, force
residual fluid to the outside of the pisto
cavity. During the clutch release th
belleville plate moves away from th
fluid bleed hole. This allows residu
fluid at the outside of the piston housin
to exhaust through the bleed hole.
this fluid did not completely exhau
from behind the piston there could be
partial apply, or drag of the revers
input clutch plates.

The A pply Components section is designed to explain
the function of the hydraulic and mechanical holding
de vices used in the Hydra-matic 4L60-E transmission.
Some of these apply components, such as clutches
and bands, 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 4L60-E Unit Repair Section located
in Section 7 of the appropriate Service Manual. It
also correlates with the components shown on the
Range Reference Charts that are used throughout the
Pow er 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.
