Clutch-Direct

Clutch-Direct
The direct clutch is a multi-disc clutch made up of steel and friction plates.
^ The direct clutch is applied with hydraulic pressure and disengaged by return springs and the exhaust of the hydraulic pressure.
^ It is housed in the intermediate brake and direct clutch drum.
^ In drive, the direct clutch is applied and coupled to the forward clutch. This drives the input shell and forward sun gear in 4th and 5th gears.
^ In reverse, the direct clutch is applied and coupled to the input shell and forward sun gear.
^ This action causes the forward sun gear to drive the pinions of the low/reverse planetary carrier.
^ Since the low/reverse planetary carrier is held stationary by the low/reverse band, the pinions drive the output shaft ring gear in reverse.
