Planetary Gearset

PLANETARY GEARSET
The planetary gearset in the transmission is a Ravigneaux-type set consisting of the following components:
- Primary sun gear.
- Reverse clutch gear and shell.
- A pinion carrier.
- Long and short pinions.
- Ring gear.

Members are held or driven to produce forward and reverse gear ratios.

OUTPUT SHAFT
The output shaft provides torque to the driveshaft and rear axle assembly. It is driven by the ring gear of the planetary gearset.

FORWARD CLUTCH CYLINDER AND SHAFT
The forward clutch cylinder and shaft transfers speed and torque from the converter turbine to the geartrain. This shaft is splined to the turbine on one end and to the forward clutch sun gear and input shaft on the other end.

STUB SHAFT
The stub shaft transfers power from the turbine shaft to the planet carrier (through the direct clutch) during third and fourth gear operation.
