Transler Mochanism {4WD}
The transfer mechanism consists of the transfer shaft drive gear. the transfer shaft. the transfer drive gear, the transfer driv-en gear shaft, and the companion flange, The transfer mechanism assembly is on the rear side ot the transmission. besidethe differential. The transfer shaft drive gear on the final driven gear drives the transfer shaft driven qear. power is transmit-ted to the rear differential via the transfer shaft and the Drooeller shaft.
Clutches
The four-speed automatic transmission uses hydraulically-actuated clutches to engage or disengage the transmission gears.When the hydraulic pressure is introduced into the clutch drum, the clutch piston moves. This presses the friction discs andsteel plates together, locking them so they don't slip. Power is then transmifted through the engaged clutch pack to its hu$mounted gear. When hydraulic pressure is bled from the clutch pack, the piston releases the friction discs and steel plates, andthey are free to slide past each other. This allows the gearto spin independently on its shaft, transmitting no power.
lst Clutch
The 1st clutch engages/disengages lst gear, and is located at the end ofthe mainshaft, just behind the end cover.The 1st clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the mainshaft.
lst-hold Clutch
The 1st-hold clutch engages/disengages 1st-hold or E position, and is located at the middle of the sub-shaft. The 1st-holdclutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the sub-shaft.
2nd Clutch
The znd ciutch engages/disengages 2nd gear, and is located at the middle of the mainshaft. The 2nd clutch is joined back-to-back to the 4th clutch. The 2nd clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure through the mainshaft by a circuit connected to theinternal hydraulic circuit.

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.

Description
Rear Differential
Outline
The Real-time 4WD-Dual Pump System model has a hydraulic clutch and a differential mechanism in the rear differential
assembly. Under normal conditions, the vehicle is driven by the front wheels. However, depending on to the driving force
of the front wheels and the road conditions. the system instantly transmits appropriate driving force to the rear wheels
without requiring the driver to switch between 2WD (tront wheel drive) and 4WD (four wheel drive). The switching mecha-
nism between 2WD and 4WD is integrated into the rear differential assembly to make the system light and compact.
ln addition, the dual-pump system switches off the rear-wheel-drive force when braking in a forward gear. This allows the
braking system to work properly on models equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).
Construction
The rear differential assembly consists of the torque control differential case assembly and the rear differential carrier
assembly. The torque control differential case assembly consists of the differential clutch assembly, the companion
flange, and the oil pump body assembly. The rear differential carrier assembly consists of the differential mechanism. The
differential drive and driven gears are hypoid gears.
The oil pump body assembly consists of the front oil pump, the rear oil pump, the hydraulic control mechanism, and the
clutch piston. The clutch piston has a disc spring that constantly provides the differential clutch assembly with a preset
torque to Drevent abnormal sound.
The clutch guide in the differential clutch assembly is connected to the propeller shaft via the companion flange, and it
receives the driving force lrom the transfer assembly. The clutch guide rotates the clutch plate and the front oil pump in
the oil pump body.
The clutch hub in the differential clutch assembly has a clutch disc that is splined with the hypoid drive pinion gear. The
hypoid drive gear drives the rear oil pump.
The front and rear oil pumps are trochoidal pumps. The rear oil pump capacity is 2.5 percent larger that the front oil pump
to handle the rotation difference between the front and rear wheels caused by worn front tires and tight corner braking.
The oil pumps are designed so the fluid intake works as a fluid discharge when the oil pumps rotate in reverse. Genuine
Honda CVT fluid is used instead of differential fluid.
Operation
When there is a difference in rotation speed between the front wheels (clutch guide) and rear wheels (hypoid driven gear),
hydraulic pressure from the front and rear oil pumps engages the differential clutch, and drive force from the transler
assembly is applied to the rear wheels.
The hydraulic pressure control mechanism in the oil pump body selects 4WD mode when the vehicle is started abruptly,
or when accelerating in a forward or reverse gear (causing rotation difference between the front and rear wheels). or
when braking in reverse gear {when decelerating). lt switches to 2WD mode when the vehicle is driven at a constant speed
in forwar! or reverse gear (when there is no rotation difference between the front and rear wheels), or when braking in a
fo rwa rd gear (when decelerating).
To protect the system, the differential clutch assembly is lubricated by hydraulic pressure generated by the oil pumps in
both 4WD and 2WD modes. Also, the thermal switch relieves the hydraulic pressure on the clutch piston and cancels 4WD
mode if the temDerature of the differential fluid rises above normal.
