Abstract

A hydraulic control system for a transmission includes a reverse, a low gear ratio, and a high gear ratio during default conditions where the transmission loses electronic control. The hydraulic control system also provides neutral locked turbine capability that engages clutches to lock the transmission input shaft in order to generate heat. The hydraulic control system includes a manual valve, a default enable valve, a default select valve, and a plurality of clutch regulation valves. The neutral locked turbine capability may be engaged when the manual valve is in either a park or neutral position.
