AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLEOPERATION ±
AX±5
Power from the engine transmitted to the input shaft via the torque converter is then transmitted to the
planetary gears by the operation of the clutch.
By operation of the brake and one±way clutch, either the planetary carrier or the planetary sun gear
are immobilized, altering the speed of revolution of the planetary gear unit.
Shift change is carried out by altering the combination of clutch and brake operation.
Each clutch and brake operates by hydraulic pressure; gear position is decided according to the throttle
opening angle and vehicle speed, and shift change automatically occurs.
The conditions of operation for each gear position are shown on the following illustrations:
