Abstract

An arrangement for a multi-clutch assembly including a popoff valve is disclosed. The arrangement also includes a first clutch, a second clutch, and a spool valve assembly. Depending on the mode, the popoff valve either provides a flowpath for residual hydraulic fluid from a latching chamber of the spool valve assembly to a vent of the popoff valve, or provides a flowpath for supplying hydraulic fluid to the latching chamber of the spool valve assembly via a fluid connection from a supply inlet to a latch port of the popoff valve.
