N Position

Fluid from the ATF pump is regulated to high pressure at the PH regulator valve, and flows to the pulley control valves. The CVT driven pulley pressure control valve and the CVT drive pulley pressure control valve control the pulley control valves A and B to apply pressure to the pulleys. The driven pulley receives pressure higher than pressure drive pulley receives, but hydraulic pressure to the forward clutch is intercepted by the manual valve and to the start clutch is intercepted by the CVT start clutch pressure control valve. Under this condition, hydraulic pressure is not applied to the start and forward clutches.
