Forward Clutch (A)

Mechanical Components and Functions


Forward Clutch (A)

NOTE: Friction and steel plate quantity will vary based on engine displacement. Refer to the Clutch Plate Quantity Chart in the Specifications.

The forward clutch (A) connects the front planetary carrier to the rear No. 3 sun gear. This provides a reduction gear ratio of 1.52:1 from the input shaft to rear sun gear No. 3. The forward (A) is applied in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears.

Regulated hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the forward (A) clutch piston against the forward (A) clutch pack to apply the clutch. The front planetary carrier and the rear No. 3 sun gear are connected as a result of the clutch being applied.
