AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 5A-49
POWER FLOW - REVERSE
In Reverse, transmission drive is via the input shaft and the forward clutch cylinder to the hub of the C3 clutch. The
elements of the transmission function as follows :
lThe C3 clutch is engaged and drives the reverse sun gear in a clock-wise direction.
lThe B2 band is engaged and holds the planetary gear carrier stationary causing the long pinion to rotate anti-
clockwise about its axis on the pinion shaft.
lThe long pinion drives the internal ring fear in the same direction.
lThe internal ring being splined to the output shaft drives it in an anti-clockwise or reverse direction.
Control
To maintain this arrangement in the steady state
solenoids and valves are activated as follows:
lSolenoids S1 and S2 are switched off.
lLine pressure is directed through the reverse lockout valve to both the inner and outer apply areas of the rear
servo piston for B2 band application.
lLine pressure feeds the reverse oil circuit via the manual valve.
lReverse oil is routed from the manual valve to the C3 clutch.
lReverse oil is also applied to the spring end of the primary regulator valve to assist the spring and to boost the
line pressure value.
lAll other clutch and band apply circuits are open to exhaust.
