Reverse Gear
Clutches 'B','D' and 'E' are
engaged.
As the front planet gear carrier of epicyclic gear set
'1' is
locked, the direction of output shaft rotation is reversed.
Epicyclic gear set
'2' also rotates as a solid block.

This housing contains the output shaft and speed governor and the parking lock mechanism. The governor comprises
two spring loaded valves, a spindle and a weight; the governor is influenced by centrifugal and hydraulic forces and
supplies a varying hydraulic pressure.
The parking lock pawl operates on
a toothed wheel attached to the output shaft speed governor; the mechanism is
operated from the selector (position 'I") by actuator rod.

1.1.5 Transmission Control Unit
The hydraulic control unit comprising a series of valve blocks housing the manual (selector) valve, control pistons and
pressure valves, is attached to the underside of the transmission housing; the unit controls the operation of the gear
train clutches and directs oil pressure to the appropriate system components (refer to illustrations, pages 5 to 7 ) to
operate the transmission. The valve blocks are connected to a main gallery plate.
Line pressure from the hydraulic pump is supplied initially to the pressure regulating valve, manual valve, governor,

1.1.6 Gearshift Selection
Gearshift selection is by movement of the shift lever which through a selector cable causes repositioning ofthe manual
(selector) valve to direct oil pressure to the required shift valve. The automatic shift points are determined by acceler- ator position and road speed: throttle movement moves a cam on the throttle valve, directing oil pressure to the shift
valves and modulator valve, road speed modulates hydraulic pressure through a centrifugal governor driven by the
transmission output shaft. Operation
of the hydraulic control system is shown diagrammatically in the circuit dia

I. 1.7 Throttle Valve Mechanism (kick-down)
The throttlevalve or 'kick-down' mechanism comprises a cable connected between throttle body pedal and the throttle
valve cam/ quadrant located on the selector valve shaft; the cam operates the throttle valve housed within the throttle
valve block. The travel of the valve is proportional to throttle positions and alters shift speeds and pressures during
gearshifts to take account of throttle position. The mechanism also provides for immediate selection of a lower
ratio (eg when overtaking) by depressing the accelerator beyond the normal full
-throttle position. 'Kick-down' is oper- ated by movement of the throttle cable into the 'kick-down' position causing full movement of the throttle valve and
directing oil flow to the shift valves.
1.1.8 Starter Inhibit Switch
The starter inhibit switch prevents the starter motor from being operated when the shift lever is not in position 'P' - Park or position 'N'- Neutral. The switch is located in the gear selector housing.
I. I. 9 Gearshift Interlock
A brake pedal /shift lever interlock is incorporated in the gearselector mechanism. Theshift lever may only be moved
from the 'P'- Park position if the ignition key switch is in position '11', and the foot brake pedal is applied. The ignition
key cannot be removed from the ignition switch unless the shift lever is in the 'P' -Park position. Once the ignition key
has been removed, the shift lever is locked in the park position.
The gearshift interlock is operated by an electrical solenoid located adjacent to the selector; an override latch is incorpo
- rated into the mechanism to enable the gearshift interlock to be manually overridden in the event of electrical failure
or when towing.
