1. Input shaft (rotates clockwise) [same revolutions as the torque converter’s turbine runner]

2. Front planetary ring gear (rotates clockwise) [same revolutions as the input shaft]

3. Front planetary pinion gear (rotates clockwise on its axis, orbits clockwise)

[because the front planetary sun gear is locked by the oil pump, it is pressed against the front planetary ring gear and orbits the sun gear while rotating on its axis (because the front planetary ring gear has internal gears, the rotational direction does not change)]

4. Front planetary carrier (rotates clockwise)

6. Rear planetary rear sun gear (rotates clockwise) [same revolution as the front planetary carrier]

7. Rear planetary short pinion gear (rotates counterclockwise on its axis)

[the rear planetary carrier tries to rotate counterclockwise, but the counterclockwise rotation is locked by one-way clutch.]

8. Rear planetary long pinion gear (rotates clockwise on its axis)

[the rear planetary middle sun gear rotates counterclockwise (idling)]

9. Rear planetary ring gear (rotates clockwise)

[the rear planetary ring gear is rotated by the rear planetary long pinion gear (because the rear planetary ring gear has internal gears, the rotational direction does not change)]

[Operating components: C1 clutch, B2 brake]
• When the engine brake is operating, driving force is transmitted from the tires. Because the rear planetary carrier, which is locked in its counterclockwise rotation by the one-way clutch, tries to rotate clockwise, B2 brake is turned ON and the rear planetary carrier is locked, and kinetic energy is transmitted from the tires to the engine.
