KICKDOWN (FRONT) BAND


The kickdown band holds the common sun gear of the planetary gear sets by applying and holding the front clutch retainer, which is splined to the sun gear driving shell, and in turn splined directly to the sun gear. The application of the band by the servo is typically done by an apply lever and link bar.


LOW/REVERSE (REAR) BAND


The rear band holds the rear planet carrier stationary by being mounted around and applied to the low/reverse drum.
