DESCRIPTION

Fig.300 Planetary Geartrain:

The planetary geartrain is located between the input clutch assembly and the rear of the transaxle case. The planetary geartrain consists of two sun gears (1,5) (Fig. 300), two planetary carriers, two annulus (ring) gears (4,6), and one output shaft.

OPERATION
The planetary geartrain utilizes two planetary gear sets that connect the transmission input shaft to the output shaft. Input and holding clutches drive or lock different planetary members to change output ratio or direction.
