Intermediate and Overdrive Band
The intermediate and overdrive band assembly holds the reverse clutch drum assembly to the transaxle case in 2nd and 4th gear. This action causes the reverse/overdrive sun gear and shell assembly to be held stationary in 2nd and 4th gears.

Intermediate and Overdrive Servo
The intermediate and overdrive servo is the hydraulic actuator which applies the intermediate and overdrive band assembly. Line pressure is applied through the servo apply circuit where it works on one side of the servo piston. This forces the piston to move up the servo bore in the transaxle case, which moves the servo apply rod against one end of the intermediate and overdrive band assembly. Because the other end of the intermediate and overdrive band assembly is anchored to the transaxle case, the ends of the intermediate and overdrive band assembly are squeezed around the reverse clutch drum assembly, holding the reverse clutch drum assembly stationary.

Forward Clutch
The forward clutch connects the turbine shaft to the outer race of the forward one-way clutch, which in turn drives the low/intermediate sun gear in all forward gear ranges. However, in 4th gear, the forward clutch transmits no power because the forward one-way clutch is overrunning. The forward clutch is a multi-disc clutch and is contained in the forward/coast/direct clutch cylinder assembly.

Direct Clutch
The direct clutch connects the turbine shaft to the low/intermediate ring gear assembly when the vehicle is in 3rd and 4th gears. It is a multi-disc clutch and is contained in the forward/coast/direct clutch cylinder assembly.

Reverse Clutch Coast Clutch
The reverse clutch connects the turbine shaft to the reverse/overdrive sun gear and shell assembly when it is in reverse gear. It is a multi-disc clutch and is contained in the reverse clutch drum assembly.

The coast clutch is a multi-disc clutch located beneath the forward clutch in the forward/coast/direct clutch cylinder assembly. It connects the low/intermediate sun gear assembly to the turbine shaft assembly when the transmission control switch is ON in the DRIVE position or when any manual gear is selected.

Low/Reverse Clutch
The low/reverse clutch holds the reverse/overdrive carrier assembly to the transaxle case when the transaxle is shifted into the R or 1 position. The low/reverse clutch is splined to the transaxle case and is a multi-disc clutch.

Forward One-Way Clutch (OWC)
The forward one-way clutch (OWC) is either a sprag or mechanical diode type, one-way clutch. The forward OWC combines with the forward clutch to connect the turbine shaft assembly to the low/intermediate sun gear assembly in 1st 2nd and 3rd gears. The forward OWC overruns during all coasting operations and is always overrunning in 4th gear.

Low One-Way Clutch
The low OWC is a roller type OWC which allows the transaxle case to hold the reverse/overdrive carrier stationary when the transaxle is in 1st gear. The low OWC will only hold the reverse/overdrive carrier assembly during acceleration. When coasting, the low OWC will overrun, disconnecting the final drive from the compound planetary gearset.
