ABSTRACT:
In an automotive automatic transmission, a torque converter lockup control system includes a main regulator valve connected to the discharge of a hydraulic pump for supplying converter feed pressure between the plates of the lockup clutch in accordance with the magnitude of line control pressure produced as a result of a line control pressure command applied to the windings of a solenoid-operated valve in response to a computer command signal. A converter cooler circuit includes a relief valve that opens at a relatively low pressure and communicates through a clutch control valve to the torque converter casing in accordance with the magnitude of lockup clutch control pressure produced by a solenoid-operated lockup clutch control valve. A converter regulator valve regulates converter feed pressure by opening the connection to the relief valve as lockup clutch pressure rises.
