IWhen the shift is in
reverse.gear, driving force is transmitted to the
reverse sun gear because the front clutch is actuated.-1
And the low reverse brake is also actuated, fastening the planetan/
gear set carrier. This means that the driving force is conveyed from
the reverse sun gear (clockwise) through the long pinion (counter-
clockwise) to the
annulus gear (counterclockwise).*

- ~~_~
Since the carrier is fastened at this time, the long pinion’s
fixed, causing the long pinion to function as an idler gear. The
counterclockwise rotation and reduction ratio of back gear are
obtained in this way.
