lst Gesr (E or @ position)
In lE or E position, the optimum gear is automatically selected from 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th gears, according to conditionssuch 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, causing the mainshaft 1stgear to rotate.
Power is transmitted to the countershaft 1st gear, which drives the countershaft via the one-way clutch.
Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which drives the final driven gear.

2nd Gear {8, E or E position)
E Position is provided to drive only 2nd gear.
1. Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 2nd clutch on the mainshaft, and power is transmifted via the 2nd clutch to the
mainshaft 2nd gear.
2, Powet transmitted to the mainshaft 2nd gear is conveyed via tho countorshaft 2nd gear, which drivos the counter-
shaft.
3. Power is transmined to the final drivB gear, which drives the final driven ge8r.
NOTE: Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 1st clutch, but since the rotation speed of ths 2nd gear excaads that
of lst gear, power from 'lst gear is cut off at the one-way clutch.

1, Hydraulic pressure is switched by the manual valve to the servo valve, which moves the reverse shift fork to thereverse position. The reverse shift fork engages with the reverse selector, reverse selector hub, and the countershaftreverse gear.
Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 4th clutch. Power is transmitt€d from the mainshaft reverse gear via thereverse idler gear to the countershaft reverse gear.
The rotation direction of the countershaft reverse gear is changed via the reverse idler gear,
Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which drives the final driven gear.
