Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Main Components and Functions: Overview

Apply Components
There are eight apply components used to drive or hold the planetary gearset components.

Band-Overdrive





The overdrive band holds the reverse clutch drum stationary in fourth gear and manual 2. This action causes the reverse sun gear to be held in these ranges.

Band-Low and Reverse





The low and reverse band holds the pinion carrier in reverse. The reverse band also applies in manual 1 position to provide engine braking.

Clutch-intermediate








Intermediate Clutch Disassembled View

The intermediate clutch works with the intermediate one-way clutch to hold the reverse sun gear stationary in second gear. The intermediate clutch remains applied in third and fourth gears, but does not transmit power.
