Planetary Gearset - Low/Reverse

Geartrain

Power is transmitted from the torque converter to the planetary gearsets through the input shaft. Bands and clutches are used to hold and drive certain combinations of gearsets. This results in 5 forward ratios and 1 reverse ratio, which are transmitted to the output shaft and differential.






Planetary Gearset - Low/Reverse

For component location, refer to Transmission Transmission Assembly.

The low/reverse planetary gearset is connected to the reverse brake drum by lugs from the low/reverse brake drum to the lugs of the low/reverse planetary gearset.

- The low/reverse planetary gearset is driven by the forward sun gear which is splined to the input shell.
- The forward sun gear drives the pinions in the low/reverse planetary gearset.
- The pinions of the low/reverse planetary gearset drive the output shaft ring gear and output shaft hub which is splined to the output shaft.
- The low/reverse planetary gearset can be held by the low One-Way Clutch (OWC) in the low/reverse brake drum, or by the low/reverse band.
