3rd Clutch
The 3rd clutch engages/disengages 3rd gear, and is located at the end of the countershaft, opposite the end cover. The 3rd
clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the countershaft.
ilth Clutch
The 4th clutch engages/disengages 4th gear, as well as reverse gear, and is located at the middle of the mainshaft. The 4th
clutch is joined back-to-back to the 2nd clutch. The 4th clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the
mainshaft.
One-way Clutch
The one-way clutch is positioned between the park gear and the countershaft 1st gear, with the park gear splined to the counter-
shaft. The countershaft 1st gear provides the outer race surface, and the park gear provides the inner race surface The
one,way clutch locks up when power is transmitted from the mainshaft lst gear to the countershaft 1st gear. The 1st
clutch and gears remain engaged in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear ranges in the lo], pt, E, or E position The one-way
clutch disengages when the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th clutches/gears are applied in the lor, [d, E, or E position'
This is because the increased rotational speed of the gears on the countershaft over-ride the locking "speed range" of the
one-wav clutch. The one-wav clutch free-wheels when the lst clutch is engaged

E Po3ition
Hydraulic pressure is not applied to the clutches. Power is not transmitted to the countershaft.
The countershaft is locked by the park pawl interlocking the park gear,
E Position
Engine power transmitted from the torque converter drives the mainshaft. but hydraulic pressure is not applied to the
clutches. Power is not transmitted to the countershaft. The countershaft 4th gear is engaged with the reverse selector hub
and the countershaft by the reverse selector, when the shift lever is shifted in E position from E or E position. The
countershaft reverse gear is engaged when shifted from E position.
NOTE; The illustration shows the 4WD automatic transmission; oower flow of the 2WD automatic transmission is identi-
cal to the 4WD exceDt for oarts related to the transfer assemblv.

Power Flow (cont'dl
E Position
In E position, hydraulic pressure is applied to the lst clutch and the lst-hold clutch.
The power flow when accelerating is as follows:
1. Hydraulic pressure is applied to the lst clutch on the mainshaft, and power is transmitted via the 1st clutch to the main-
shaft 1st gear.
Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the lst-hold clutch on the sub-shaft. Power transmitted to the mainshaft 1st gear
is conveyed via the countershaft 1st gear to the one-way clutch, and via the sub-shaft 1st gear to the 1st-hold clutch.The one-way clutch is used to drive the countershaft, and the 1st-hold clutch drives the countershaft via the 4th gears.
Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which drives the final driven gear, and the transfer shaft drive gear (4WD),
The transfer shaft drive gear drives the transfer shaft and the transfer driven gear shaft (4WD).
NOTE; The illustration shows the 4WD automatic transmissjon; power flow ot the 2WD automatic transmission is identi-cal to the 4WD except for parts related to the transfer assembly.

2.
L
E Position
The power flow when decelerating is as follows:
Rolling resistance trom the road surface goes through the tront wheels (and rear wheels: 4WD) to the final drive gear.
then to the sub-shaft lst gear via the 4th gear. and 1st-hold clutch which is applied during deceleration.
The one-way clutch is free because the application of torque is reversed.
The counterforce conveyed to the countershaft 4th gear turns the sub-shaft 4th gear via the mainshaft 4th gear. Since
hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 1st clutch. counterforce is also transmitted to the mainshaft. As a result,
engine braking can be obtained with'lst gear.
NOTE: The illustration shows the 4WD automatic transmission; power flow of the 2WD automatic transmission is identi-
cal to the 4WD except tor parts related to the transfer assembly.

lst Gear (8. E or E positionl
In E, E, or D position, the optimum gear is selected from 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears, according to conditions such as
the balance between throttle opening (engine load) and vehicle speed.
1. Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 1st clutch, which rotates together with the mainshaft, and the mainshaft 1st gear
rotates.
2. Power is transmitted to the countershaft 1st gear. which drives the countershaft via the one-way clutch.
3. Power is transm itted to the final drive gear.which drives the final driven gear and the transfer shaft drive gea r (4WD).
4. The transfer shaft drive gear drives the transfer shaft and the transfer driven gear shaft (4WD).
NOTE:
o In @, @, @, or E position. hydraulic pressure is not applied to the 1st-hold clutch.. The illustration shows the 4WD automatic transmission; power flow of the 2WD automatic transmission is identicalto the 4WD except for parts related to the transfer assembly.
