AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION – ZF 5HP24
44-2-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Spool Valves
The valve block contains twenty one spool valves which control various functions of the transmission. The spool
valves are of conventional design and are operated by fluid pressure.
Each spool valve is located in its spool bore and held in a default (unpressurised) position by a spring. The spool bore
has a number of ports which allow fluid to flow to other valves and clutches to enable transmission operation. Each
spool has a piston which is waisted to allow fluid to be diverted into the applicable ports when the valve is operated.
When fluid pressure moves a spool, one or more ports in the spool bore are covered or uncovered. Fluid is prevented
from flowing or is allowed to flow around the applicable waisted area of the spool and into another uncovered port.
The fluid is either passed through galleries to actuate another spool, operate a clutch or is returned to the fluid pan.
