Power Flow - Operation

Broken lines in the following Illustration indicate gear or sliding splined connections.

High ratio
Moving the gear lever to the high position as shown below, causes the sleeve 3 to engage directly with the sun gear 2, allowing the power to by-pass the planetary gear set 5 and provide a direct drive to the drive sprocket 7, and Morse chain 8 to the differential and output shafts.







Low ratio
In low gear the selector sleeve 3 connects with the planet carrier 6 and planet gears 5 to provide low ratio.
