BRAKES - Service Brakes5-5
REAR DISC BRAKE‘he rear brake is the
AD30P type, featuring highly
tifficient heat dissipation, quick recovery of braking
force when wet, and highly stabilized braking force.The brake system incorporates an auto adjuster that
automatically adjusts the clearance between the
pad and brake disc when
t.he brake pedal is
depressed.

fQlEMhGENERAL DESCRIPTION
The power train is composed of the torque-converter section
(which transfers the power from the engine to the transaxle)
and the shifting mechanism (which functions to provide the
most appropriate
rotational speed).
The damper clutch is installed in the torque-converter section.
and functions to reduce the ainount of power loss resulting
from slippage of the torque-converter.
The shifting mechanism is composed of three sets of multiple-
disc type clutches, as well as one set each of a multiple-disc
type brake and band brake, and a one-way clutch and a
Ravigneaux-type planetary gear set. The three sets of clutches
are the elements for control of the input to the planetary gear
set, and the two sets of brakes and the one-way clutch are the
elements for holding each part of the planetary gear set, or for
obstructing rotation.
As a result of the operation on these elements, the shifting
ratio that corresponds to the driving conditions is obtained by
regulating from what point of the
planetan/ gear set there will
be input, and where holding will be done.
Under what circumstances which elements will be activated is
as described in the table (“ELEMENT IN USE AT EACH
POSITION OF SELECTOR LEVER”) below.

21-24AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE - Transaxle Mechanism
SELECT PATTERN
Select pattern refers to the indication of transaxle
positions to be manually selected by the driver. This
transaxie is provided with 6 positions: P-R-N-D-
2-L. The following contains the explanations of the
function of each position selected.
P-Parking
(1)
(2)
(3)
Each element does not operate at all. Therefore,the engine output is not transmitted to the
output shaft.
The output shaft is completely locked by mecha-
nical means. Therefore, the vehicle does not
move in forward or reverse direction.
The engine can be started.
R-Reverse
(1) The vehicle moves in reverse direction.
(2) The engine cannot be started.
N-Neutral
(1) The engine output is not transmitted to the
output shaft as in the case of
“P”(2) The engine can be started.
D-Drive
(1)
(2)
(3)Corresponding with the degree that the
accelerator pedal is pressed down (i.e. throttle
opening) and vehicle speed,
“D” automatically
shifts between forward 4 speeds. Note, howev-
er,’ that the forward 3 speeds are selected when
the overdrive control switch is OFF. The automa-tic shifting (up or down) is performed according
to the shift pattern shown in the illustration on
page 2
l-30.Driving-off is always performed in
1st gear.Kickdown refers to the downshift that is per-
formed if the accelerator pedal is pressed down

gear. It is performed when the load exceeds the
downshift point.
This function
IS useful when the driver isaccelerating to pass another vehicle.
Engine brake does not function when the shift is
in
1st gear.
When the vehicle is stopped, shifting is made to
the
2nd gear to minimize creep and vibration.
Upon starting, shifting is made to
1st gear.
S-Second
(1)
(2)
(3)“2” automatically shifts between
1st and 2ndgears. This means no upshift to
3rd gear occurs.
Driving-off is always performed in
1st gear.
Downshift to
2nd or 3rd gear is performed by
selecting the“2” range while the vehicle is
running in
3,rd or 4th gear, when a speed lower
than the set value is reached.
(4)As in the case of the “D” range, engine brake
does not work when the shift is in
1st gear.
L-Lock-up
(1)
(2)
(3)While “L” (Lock-up) performs downshift from
2nd to 1st gear, it does not shift up the gear
from
1st to 2nd or 3rd. The enables what is_.called
“1st gear holding”.
Driving-off is always performed in
1st gear.
Engine brake functions in the case of this
1st
gear..By selecting the “L” range while the vehicle is
running in the
“0” or “2” range, downshift from4th to
3rd, 3rd to 2nd, or 2nd to 1st is performed
when the vehicle reaches the respective speed
prescribed for each gear.

The planetary gear set incorporated in

is of the Ravigne’aux-type, and consists of a forward
sun gear, a reverse sun gear, a short prnion. a long
pinion, a carrier to support both pinions, and an
annulus gear.
The reverse sun gear is connected to the front
clutch retainer via the
kickdown drum, while the
forward sun gear is connected to the rear
clutchhub.
The carrier is built in one unit with the low reverse
brake’s hub and the outer race of the one-way
clutch. The carrier is connected to the end clutch via
the end clutch shaft.
The
annulus gear, to which the output flange isconnected, conveys driving force to the transfer
drive gear installed on the output flange. And the
parking sprag is provided on the outer circumfer-
ence of the
annulus gear.
