When the multiple-disc brake (B) is engaged, the working pressure (p-A) is applied to the end face of the shift 
valve (29) via the command valve (31). See Fig. 140. Its shift condition is retained in the shift phase, whilst the 
shift element pressure acting on the end face and which is variable during the shift phase is replaced by a 
corresponding, constant pressure. 

When the multiple-disc clutch (K) is engaged (K) the end face of the shift pressure shift valve (29) is 
depressurized during the stationary and shift phases, here the shift condition is also retained during the shift 
phase.

Structure  

The torque converter lockup PWM solenoid valve (Y3/6y6) is sealed off to the valve body of the shift plate (2a) 
by an O-ring (34) and a seal (arrow). See Fig. 141. The contact springs (32) on the PWM converter lockup 
solenoid valve (Y3/6y6) engage in a slot in the conductor tracks (33). The force of the contact spring (32) 
ensures safe contacts.
