Clutch-Coast

The coast clutch is a multi-disc clutch made up of steel and friction plates.
- The coast clutch is applied with hydraulic pressure and disengaged by return springs and the exhaust of the hydraulic pressure.
- The coast clutch is housed in the front brake and coast clutch drum.
- The coast clutch is applied when the TCS switch is on, energizing SSD, and 5th gear operation is inhibited (4th gear only).
- The coast clutch is hydraulically applied when the transmission is in 2nd and 1st position.
- When applied, the coast clutch locks the input shaft to the front planetary carrier, thus preventing the one-way clutch from overrunning when the vehicle is coasting.
- This allows the use of engine compression to help slow the vehicle and provide engine braking.
