Planetary Gearset Front

The planetary gear front carrier is driven by the input shaft.
- The front planetary gearset carrier drives the center shaft via the overdrive one-way clutch in 1st, 3rd and 4th gears.
- In 2nd, the front sun gear is held causing the pinion gears to rotate around the front sun gear.
- The pinion gears in turn drive the front ring gear and, with the intermediate band applied results in a 2nd gear ratio of 1.87 to 1.
- In 5th, the front sun gear is held causing the pinion gears to rotate around the front sun gear.
- The pinion gears in turn drive the front ring gear and, with the intermediate band applied results in a 5th (overdrive) gear ratio of 0.75 to 1.
- The front planetary gearset is internally splined to the coast clutch for engine braking.
