Gear Operation
Gears on the mainshaft:
- The 3rd gear is engaged/disengaged with the mainshaft by the 3rd clutch.
- The 4th gear is engaged/disengaged with the mainshaft by the 4th clutch.
- The reverse gear is engaged/disengaged with the mainshaft by the 4th clutch.
- The idler gear is splined with the mainshaft and Rotates with the mainshaft.
Gears on the countershaft:
- The final drive gear is integral with the countershaft.
- The 1st gear, 3rd gear, 2nd gear, and park gear are splined with the countershaft and Rotate with the countershaft.
- The 4th gear and reverse gear Rotate freely from the countershaft. The reverse selector engages the 4th gear or the reverse gear with the reverse selector hub. The reverse selector hub is splined with the countershaft so that the 4th gear or reverse gear engage with the countershaft.
- The idler gear Rotates freely from the countershaft.
Gears on the secondary shaft:
- The 1st gear is engaged/disengaged with the secondary shaft by the 1st clutch.
- The 2nd gear is engaged/disengaged with the secondary shaft by the 2nd clutch.
- The idler gear is splined with the secondary shaft and Rotates with the secondary shaft.
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.
N Position
Engine power transmitted from the torque converter drives the mainshaft idler gear, the countershaft idler gear, and the secondary shaft idler gear, but hydraulic pressure is not applied to the clutches. Power is not transmitted to the countershaft. The countershaft 4th gear is engaged with the reverse selector hub and the countershaft by the reverse selector, when the shift lever is shifted in N position from D4 position. The countershaft reverse gear is engaged when shifted from R position.
In D4 or D3 position, the optimum gear is automatically selected from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears, according to conditions such as the balance between the throttle opening (engine loading) and vehicle speed.
D4 or D3 Position in 1st gear and 1 Position
- Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 1st clutch, then the 1st clutch engages the secondary shaft 1st gear with the secondary shaft.
- The mainshaft idler gear drives the secondary shaft via the countershaft idler gear and secondary shaft idler gear.
- The secondary shaft 1st gear drives the countershaft 1st gear and the countershaft.
- Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which in turn drives the final driven gear.
D4 or D3 Position in 2nd gear and 2 Position
- Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 2nd clutch, then the 2nd clutch engages the secondary shaft 2nd gear with the secondary shaft.
- The mainshaft idler gear drives the secondary shaft via the countershaft idler gear and secondary shaft idler gear.
- The secondary shaft 2nd gear drives the countershaft 2nd gear and the countershaft.
- Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which in turn drives the final driven gear.
D4 or D3 Position in 3rd gear
- Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 3rd clutch, then the 3rd clutch engages the mainshaft 3rd gear with the mainshaft.
- The mainshaft 3rd gear drives the countershaft 3rd gear and the countershaft.
- Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which in turn drives the final driven gear.
D4 Position in 4th gear
- Hydraulic pressure is applied to the servo valve to engage the reverse selector with the countershaft 4th gear while the shift lever is in the forward range (D4, D3, 2 and 1 position).
- Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 4th clutch, then the 4th clutch engages the mainshaft 4th gear with the mainshaft.
- The mainshaft 4th gear drives the countershaft 4th gear, which drives the reverse selector hub and the countershaft.
- Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which in turn drives the final driven gear.
R Position
- Hydraulic pressure is applied to the servo valve to engage the reverse selector with the countershaft reverse gear while the shift lever is in the R position.
- Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 4th clutch, then the 4th clutch engages the mainshaft reverse gear with the mainshaft.
- The mainshaft reverse gear drives the countershaft reverse gear via the reverse idler gear.
- The rotation direction of the countershaft reverse gear is changed via the reverse idler gear.
- The countershaft reverse gear drives the countershaft via the reverse selector, which drives the reverse selector hub.
- Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which in turn drives the final driven gear.
