"R" Range

As oil pressure is applied to the direct clutch, the input shaft is engaged with the sun gear of the planetary gear. This allows the torque to be transmitted directly from the input shaft to the sun gear. On the other hand, the 1st-reverse brake is also at work and therefore the rear planetary carrier is held stationary. In this state, the pinions do not turn around the sun gear but turn around counterclockwise on their axes and cause the ring gear to turn counterclockwise. As the output shaft is spline fitted to the rear planetary ring gear, it also turns counterclockwise, thereby the vehicle moves rearward.
