Gear Shift Position R - Reverse Gear

Gear shift position R - Reverse gear





Power flow
Power is transferred from the turbine shaft to the driven chain wheel (1) to which is connected to the input shaft (2). The shaft is connected to the input clutch (C1) which grips the second freewheel (F2) outer bearing track.
The freewheel clutch in F2 transfers power to the front planetary train (P1) sun gear (3). At engine braking the freewheeling connection disengages and F2 freewheels. The car can then roll freely.
The servo (12) locks brake 1 (B1) around the 2nd clutch housing (13) so that it is fixed. This means that the reverse drum (10), which is connected to the housing, is also held in place. The other end of the drum is connected to the front planetary train (P1) planetary gear carrier (4) which is also held in position.
The front planetary train (P1) sun gear (3) drives the front ring gear (5) via the planetary gears in the held planetary gear carrier (4). The ring gear will therefore spin in the opposite direction to the sun wheel.
The front planetary train (P1) ring gear is connected to the rear planetary train (P2) planetary gear carrier(5) which will rotate. The output planetary train (P2) planetary gear holder is coupled with the final drive sun wheel shaft (8). The torque moves to the differential via the final drive planetary gear carrier.
