Hydraulic System: Accumulators

The hydraulic system has accumulators in circuits for five apply components. Each accumulator has a piston (with seal and spring) positioned on a hollow shaft.

The low-intermediate (N-D) accumulator is located in the bottom of the transaxle case.

The chain cover and side of the transaxle case contain four accumulators:

• reverse (N-R)
• intermediate (1-2)
• direct (2-3)
• overdrive (3-4)
