Description Part 2
[N] Position
Hydraulic pressure is not applied to the clutches. Power is not transmitted to the countershaft.
[P] Position
Hydraulic pressure is not applied to the clutches. Power is not transmitted to the countershaft. The countershaft is locked by the park pawl interlocking the park gear.
1st Gear ([D4] or [D3] position)
In [D4] or [D3] position, the optimum gear is automatically selected from 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears, according to conditions such as the balance between throttle opening (engine load) and vehicle speed.
1. Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 1st clutch, which rotates together with the mainshaft, causing the mainshaft 1st gear to rotate.
2. Power is transmitted to the countershaft 1st gear, which drives the countershaft via the one-way clutch.
3. Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which drives the final driven gear.
2nd Gear ([D4], [D3] or [2] position)
[2] Position is provided to drive only 2nd gear.
1. Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 2nd clutch on the mainshaft, and power is transmitted via the 2nd clutch to the mainshaft 2nd gear.
2. Power transmitted to the mainshaft 2nd gear is conveyed via the countershaft 2nd gear, which drives the countershaft.
3. Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which drives the final driven gear.
NOTE: Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 1st clutch, but since the rotation speed of the 2nd gear exceeds that of 1st gear, power from 1st gear is cut off at the one-way clutch.
3rd Gear ([D4] or [D3]
1. Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 3rd clutch. Power from the mainshaft 3rd gear is transmitted to the countershaft 3rd gear.
2. Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which drives the final driven gear.
NOTE: Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 1st clutch, but since the rotation speed of 3rd gear exceeds that of 1st gear, power from 1st gear is cut off at the one-way clutch.
4th Gear ([D4] position)
1. Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 4th clutch, which rotates together with the mainshaft, causing the mainshaft 4th gear to rotate.
2. Power is transmitted to the countershaft 4th gear, which drives the countershaft.
3. Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which drives the final driven gear.
NOTE: Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 1st clutch, but since the rotation speed of 4th gear exceeds that of 1st gear, power from 1st gear is cut off at the one-way clutch.
[R] Position
1. Hydraulic pressure is switched by the manual valve to the servo valve, which moves the reverse shift fork to the reverse position. The reverse shift fork engages with the reverse selector, reverse selector hub, and the countershaft reverse gear.
2. Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 4th clutch. Power is transmitted from the mainshaft reverse gear via the reverse idler gear to the countershaft reverse gear.
3. The rotation direction of the countershaft reverse gear is changed via the reverse idler gear.
4. Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which drives the final driven gear.
