Accumulators - 2-3

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The 2-3 accumulator reduces shift shock when shifting from second to third gear. The accumulator piston is normally pressed to the left by line pressure. When there is a shift from second to third gear, 3-4 clutch engagement pressure pushes the accumulator piston slowly to the right. As a result, the 3-4 clutch engagement pressure builds up slowly, reducing the shift shock when there is a shift from second to third gear.
