2. The forward clutch drives the drive pulley shaft, which drives the driven pulley shaft linked by the steel belt.
3. The driven pulley shaft drives the secondary drive gear, via the start clutch.
4. Power is transmitted to the secondary driven gear, which drives the final driven gear.

NOTE: The working hydraulic pressure on the movable face of each shaft depends on the throttle opening position.
