POWER TRANSMISSION
“N” and “P” Positions

●

“N” position
No control members operate. Power from the input shaft is not transmitted to the output shaft because the
clutches do not operate.

●

“P” position
Similar to the “N” position, no control members operate. The parking pawl interconnected with the select
lever engages with the parking gear to mechanically hold the output shaft so that the powertrain is locked.

Low and reverse brake

As overrun clutch engages, rear internal gear is locked by the operation of low and 
reverse brake.
This is different from that of D

1

  and 2

 .

Engine brake

Overrun clutch always engages, therefore engine brake can be obtained when decel-
erating.

Brake band

Rear sun gear drives rear planetary carrier and combined front internal gear. Front 
internal gear now rotates around front sun gear accompanying front planetary carrier.
As front planetary carrier transfers the power to rear internal gear through forward 
clutch and forward one-way clutch, this rotation of rear internal gear increases the 
speed of rear planetary carrier compared with that of the 1st speed.
