A proportional variable force solenoid valve for controlling the pressure of a pressurized fluid in a fluid control system in proportion to the current level of an electrical input signal comprises a movable valve for controlling the pressure of pressurized fluid in the fluid control system and a solenoid for controlling movement of the valve in linear proportion to the current level of the electrical signal. The movable valve and the solenoid are disposed in a common substantially non-magnetic housing to provide a fluid control unit. The housing may comprise an aluminum casting for insertion in an aluminum transmission body. A movable armature of the solenoid may comprise a cylindrical shaped permanent magnet, rather than a ferromagnetic armature, in order to eliminate the need for a axially magnetized permanent magnet ring. A simplified armature suspension structure, fluid diverting valve mechanism, and electromagnetic flux washer are incorporated. A fluid control device for an electronic transmission also is provided and includes a transmission spool valve and a proportional variable force solenoid valve disposed in a common housing for controlling the pressure of a fluid supplied to a first end of the transmission spool valve in a direction opposite to the biasing force of a coil spring. The variable force solenoid valve varies fluid pressure on the first end of the spool valve in proportion to the current level of the electric signal so as to control movement of the spool valve in a manner to regulate control pressure to smooth shifting of transmission gears at a particular shifting point represented by an electrical signal supplied to the solenoid.
