ABSTRACT:
A valve assembly having an advantageous construction for directing fluid flow between a fluid source and a fluid actuating device in a transmission of a vehicle. The valve assembly includes a manual lever being actuated in response to a manual input from an operator. The manual lever is positionable in a plurality of positions corresponding to predetermined operating modes of the transmission. The assembly further includes a valve body having valve member disposed therein. The valve member being movable for directing fluid flow between the fluid source and the fluid actuating device. A plate member slidably engaging the valve body is further provided. The plate member is operably coupled to the manual lever to linearly translate the plate member relative to the valve body in response to the manual input. Cam member is included for positioning the valve member at a predetermined position corresponding to the plurality of positions of the manual lever when the plate member is linearly translated.
