Band - Front
Hydraulic pressure is applied to the front side of the front servo.
^ This pressure causes the servo to stroke and apply force to the band.
^ This action causes the front brake and coast clutch drum to be held.
^ The front band holds the front brake and coast clutch drum to the case in 2nd and 5th gears.
^ This causes the front sun gear to be held stationary through the coast clutch adapter and the front brake and coast clutch drum.





Band - Low/Reverse
Hydraulic pressure is applied to the front side of the low/reverse servo.

This pressure causes the servo to stroke and apply force to the low/reverse band.

This action causes the low/reverse brake drum to be held.

The low/reverse band holds the low/reverse brake to the case in 1st position and reverse gears.

This causes the low/reverse planetary assembly to be held stationary.

Band - Intermediate
Hydraulic pressure is applied to the front side of the intermediate servo.
^ This pressure causes the servo to stroke and apply force to the intermediate band.
^ This action causes the intermediate brake and direct clutch drum to be held.
^ The intermediate band holds the intermediate brake and direct clutch drum to the case in 3rd gear.
^ This causes the input shell and forward sun gear to be held stationary.





Clutch - Direct
The direct clutch is a multi-disc clutch made up of steel and friction plates.
^ The direct clutch is applied with hydraulic pressure and disengaged by return springs and the exhaust of the hydraulic pressure.
^ It is housed in the intermediate brake and direct clutch drum.

In drive, the direct clutch is applied and coupled to the forward clutch. This drives the input shell and forward sun gear in 4th and 5th gears.

In reverse, the direct clutch is applied and coupled to the input shell and forward sun gear.
^ This action causes the forward sun gear to drive the pinions of the low/reverse planetary carrier.
^ Since the low/reverse planetary carrier is held stationary by the low/reverse band, the pinions drive the output shaft ring gear in reverse.





Clutch - Forward
The forward clutch is a multi-disc clutch made up of steel and friction plates.
^ The forward clutch is applied with hydraulic pressure and disengaged by return springs and the exhaust of the hydraulic pressure.
^ The forward clutch is applied in all forward gears.
^ When applied, the forward clutch provides a direct mechanical coupling between the input shaft and the forward ring gear and hub.





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 the manual 2nd and manual 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.





One-Way Clutch - Front
The front one-way clutch is a sprag-type one-way clutch that is pressed into the center shaft.
^ The front one-way clutch is driven by the ring gear of the front planetary carrier.
^ The front one-way clutch holds and drives the outer splines of the center shaft in 1st, 3rd, and 4th gears.

The front one-way clutch overruns during all coast operations and at all times in 2nd and 5th gear.





One-Way Clutch - Low/Reverse
The low/reverse one-way clutch is a sprag-type one-way clutch.
^ The low/reverse one-way clutch holds the low/reverse brake drum and low/reverse planetary assembly to the case in 1st gear only.
^ In all other gears the low/reverse one-way clutch overruns.
