Hazard

The spool valve shape in the transmission control valve oil passage is improper, and the pressure-resistance of the hydraulic hose is insufficient. As a result, the hydraulic hose may rupture during engine startup, causing a decrease in transmission operating pressure. This may prevent clutch engagement, resulting in loss of driving capability.
