Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Main Valve Body
The main valve body contains the start clutch shift valve, the shift inhibitor valve, the lubrication regulator valve, and the cooler relief valve.
- Start Clutch Shift Valve
When a control system malfunction occurs, the start clutch shift valve receives shift inhibitor pressure (SI) and covers the lubrication pressure (LUB) bypass circuit port.
- Shift Inhibitor Valve
The shift inhibitor valve switches the fluid passage to switch the start clutch control from electronic control to hydraulic control when the electronic control system is faulty.
- Lubrication Regulator Valve
The lubrication regulator valve stabilizes the lubrication pressure (LUB) to the internal circuit.
- Cooler Relief Valve
The cooler relief valve stabilizes the CVTF cooler pressure (COL) and recirculation pressure (RCC) to the CVTF cooler and to the internal circuit.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
