Description
Clutches
The four speed automatic transmission uses hydraulically actuated clutches to engage or disengage the transmission gears.
When clutch pressure is introduced into the clutch drum, the clutch piston is applied. This presses the iriction discs and
steel plates together, locking them so they don't slip. Power is then transmitted through the engaged clutch pack tojts hub-mounted gear.
Likewise, when clutch pressure is bled from the clutch pack. the piston releases the friction discs and steel plates, and
they are {ree to slide past each other while disengaged. This allows the gear to spin independently on its shaft, transmit-
ting no power.
1st ClutchThe l st clutch engages/disengages 1st gear, and is located at the end of the mainshaft, just behind the right side cover.
The 1st clutch is supplied clutch pressure by its oil feed pipe within the mainshaft.
1st-hold clutchThe 1st-hold clutch engages/disengages 1st-hold or I Fosition, and is located at the center ol the sub-shaft. The 1st-
hold clutch is supplied clulch pressure by its oil feed pipe within the sub-shait.
2nd ClutchThe 2nd clutch engages/disengages 2nd gear, and is located at the center of the mainshaft. The 2nd clutch is joined
back-to-back to the 4th clutch. The 2nd clutch is supplied clutch pressure through the mainshaft by a circuit connected
to the regulator valve body.
3rd Clutch
The 3rd clutch engages/disengages 3rd gea.. and is located at the end oJ the countershaft, opposite the right side cover.
The 3rd clutch is supplied clutch pressure by its oil feed pipe within the countershaft,
4th clurch
The 4th clutch engages/disengages 4th gear. as well as reverse gear, and is located at the center of the mainshaft.
The 4th clutch is joined back-to-back to the 2nd clutch. The 4th clutch is supplied clutch pressure by its oil feed pipe
within the mainshalt.
One-way Clutch
The one-way clutch is posjtioned between the parking gear and 1st gear. with the parking gear splined to the counter-
shaft. The 1st gear provides the outer race, and the parking gear provides the inner race surface. The one-way clutch
locks up when power is transmitted from the mainshaft 1st gear to the countershaft lst ggel _The 1st clutch and gears remain engaged in the 1st. 2nd. 3rd, and 4th gear ranges in the @, E or E position.
However, the one-way clutch disengages when the 2nd. 3rd, or 4th clutches/gears are applied in the E, lD.l o, Eoosttton.
This is because the increased rotational speed of the gears on the countershaft over-ride the locking "speed range" of
the one-way clutch. Thereafter, the one-way clutch free-wheels with the lst clutch still engaged.
