Clutches - 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 direct clutch drum.
^ During 4th, 5th, and reverse gear application, the direct clutch is applied transferring torque from the forward clutch cylinder to the direct clutch drum.
^ This action causes the forward sun gear to drive the pinions of the low/reverse planetary carrier.
