Low & Reverse Brake

Low & Reverse Brake

CONSTRUCTION





The low & reverse brake consists of a piston, a dish plate, drive plates, driven plates, a retaining plate and a snap ring that are placed in a housing formed in the transmission case.

FUNCTION
When the 1st gear is selected in the 1 range or the reverse is selected, the pressure from the pressure regulator valve is applied to the low & reverse brake piston. The piston then presses the drive and driven plates together and causes the low clutch to lock.
