Apply Components

There are eight apply devices used to drive or hold the planetary gear set members. The following is a description of each apply component.

BAND-OVERDRIVE





The overdrive band holds the reverse clutch drum stationary in fourth gear and in manual range second gear. This action causes the reverse sun gear to be held in these ranges.

BAND-LOW AND REVERSE





The low and reverse band holds the pinion carrier stationary in reverse. It is also applied in first gear, manual 1 range, to provide engine braking.

CLUTCH-FORWARD





The forward clutch couples the input shaft to the forward sun gear in first, second and third gears.

CLUTCH-DIRECT





The direct clutch couples the input shaft to the planet carrier (through the stub shaft) in third and fourth gears.

CLUTCH-REVERSE





The reverse clutch couples the input shaft to the reverse sun gear. It is applied in reverse range only.

CLUTCH-INTERMEDIATE





The intermediate clutch works with the intermediate one-way clutch to hold the reverse sun gear stationary in second gear. The intermediate clutch remains applied in third and fourth gears, but does not transmit power.

CLUTCH-INTERMEDIATE ONE-WAY





The intermediate one-way clutch is a roller clutch that works with the intermediate friction clutch to hold the reverse sun gear stationary in second gear during acceleration. This one-way clutch freewheels in third gear and during coasting in second gear, (D) and D ranges.

CLUTCH-PLANETARY (LOW) ONE-WAY





The planetary (low) one-way clutch is a roller clutch that holds the pinion carrier stationary in first gear, ((D) and D ranges), during automatic coasting downshifts into first gear ((D) and D ranges), it freewheels so that there is no engine braking.
