• The intermediate and overdrive band component holds the reverse clutch drum component to the transaxle case in second and fourth gear. This action causes the reverse/overdrive sun gear and shell component to be held stationary in second and fourth gears.
• The intermediate and overdrive servo is the hydraulic actuator which applies the intermediate and overdrive band component. Line pressure is applied through the servo apply circuit where it works on one side of the servo piston. This forces the piston to move up the servo bore in the transaxle case, which moves the servo apply rod against one end of the intermediate and overdrive band component. Because the other end of the intermediate and overdrive band component is anchored to the transaxle case, the ends of the intermediate and overdrive band component are squeezed around the reverse clutch drum component, holding the reverse clutch drum component stationary.
• The forward clutch connects the turbine shaft to the outer race of the forward one-way clutch, which in turn drives the low/intermediate sun gear in all forward gear ranges. However, in fourth gear, the forward clutch transmits no power because the forward one-way clutch is overrunning. The forward clutch is a multi-disc clutch and is contained in the forward/coast/direct clutch cylinder component.
• The direct clutch connects the turbine shaft to the low/intermediate ring gear component when the vehicle is in third and fourth gears. It is a multi-disc clutch and is contained in the forward/coast/direct clutch cylinder component.
• The reverse clutch connects the turbine shaft to the reverse/overdrive sun gear and shell component when it is in reverse gear. It is a multi-disc clutch, and is contained in the reverse clutch drum component.
• The coast clutch is a multi-disc clutch located beneath the forward clutch in the forward/coast/direct clutch cylinder component. It connects the low/intermediate sun gear component to the turbine shaft component when the transaxle control switch is ON in the DRIVE position or when any manual gear is selected.
• The low/reverse clutch holds the reverse/overdrive carrier component to the transaxle case when the transaxle is shifted into the R or 1 position. The low/reverse clutch is splined to the transaxle case and is a multi-disc clutch.
• The forward one-way clutch is a sprag type, one-way clutch. The forward one-way clutch combines with the forward clutch to connect the turbine shaft component to the low/intermediate sun gear component in first, second, and third gears. The forward one-way clutch overruns during all coasting operations and is always overrunning in fourth gear.
• The low one-way clutch is a roller type one-way clutch which allows the transaxle case to hold the reverse/overdrive carrier stationary when the transaxle is in first gear. The low one-way clutch will only hold the reverse/overdrive carrier component during acceleration. When coasting, the low one-way clutch will overrun, disconnecting the final drive from the compound planetary gearset.
