Shafts






INPUT SHAFT
The forward clutch cylinder and shaft transfers speed and torque from the converter turbine to the geartrain. This forward clutch cylinder and shaft is splined to the turbine shaft on one end and to the forward sun gear and turbine shaft on the other end.

STUB SHAFT
The stub shaft transfers power from the turbine shaft to the planet carrier (through the direct clutch) during third and fourth gear operation.

OUTPUT SHAFT
The output shaft provides torque to the propeller shaft and rear axle assembly. It is driven by the ring gear of the planetary gearset.

FORWARD CLUTCH CYLINDER AND SHAFT
The forward clutch cylinder and shaft transfers speed and torque from the converter turbine to the geartrain. This shaft is splined to the turbine on one end and to the forward clutch cylinder and stub shaft on the other end.
