ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic retarder is disposed to receive fluid as directed by a flow valve to selectively retard vehicle motion. The flow valve responds to an operator controlled modulator valve to direct fluid from a cooler which is supplied from a torque converter to the hydraulic retarder upon a request by the operator. A modulator valve is also effective to control the pressure of the fluid exiting the cooler and entering the retarder.
