AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T) 7B-3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This automatic transmission is a full automatic type with 3-speed plus overdrive (O/D).
The torque converter is a 3-element, 1-step and 2-phase type equipped with lock-up mechanism. The gear shift
device consists of 2 sets of planetary gear units, sets of 3 disc type clutches, 3sets of disc type brakes and one-
way clutch. The gear shift is done by selecting one of 6 positions (“P”, “R”, “N”, “D”, “2” and “L”) by means of the
select lever installed on the floor. On the shift knob, there is an overdrive (O/D) cut switch which allows shift-up
to the overdrive mode and shift-down from the overdrive mode.
