The automatic transmission uses compact triple planet ary gear systems to improve power-transmission effi-
ciency, simplify construction and reduce weight.
It also employs an optimum shift control and super wide gear ratios. They improve starting performance and
acceleration during medium and high-speed operation.

Front brake (1) FR/B Fastens the front sun gear (11).
Input clutch (2) I/CConnects the input shaft (12), the front internal gear (14) and the mid internal
gear (13).
Direct clutch (3) D/C Connects the rear carrier (15) and the rear sun gear (16).
High and low reverse clutch (4) HLR/C Connects the mid sun gear (17) and the rear sun gear (16).
Reverse brake (5) R/B Fastens the rear carrier (15).
Forward brake (6) Fwd/B Fastens the mid sun gear (17).
Low coast brake (7) LC/B Fastens the mid sun gear (17).
1st one-way clutch (8) 1st OWCAllows the rear sun gear (16) to turn freely forward relative to the mid sun gear
(17) but fastens it
for reverse rotation.
Forward one-way clutch (9) Fwd OWCAllows the mid sun gear (17) to turn freely in the forward direction but fastens it
for reverse rotation.
3rd one-way clutch (10) 3rd OWCAllows the front sun gear (11) to turn freely in the forward direction but fastens

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
Since both the forward brake and the reverse brake are released, torque from the input shaft drive is not trans-
mitted to the output shaft.
“P” Position
• The same as for the “N” position, both the forward br ake and the reverse brake are released, so torque from
the input shaft drive is not transmitted to the output shaft.
• The parking pawl linked with the select lever meshes with the parking gear and fastens the output shaft mechanically.
“D”, “4”, “3”, “2” Positions 1GR
• The forward brake and the forward one-way clutch regulate reverse rotation of the mid sun gear.
• The 1st one-way clutch regulates reverse rotation of the rear sun gear.
• The 3rd one-way clutch regulates reverse rotation of the front sun gear.
• During deceleration, the mid sun gear turns forward, so the forward one-way clutch idles and the engine
brake is not activated.

• The forward brake and the forward one-way clutch regulate reverse rotation of the mid sun gear.
• The 3rd one-way clutch regulates reverse rotation of the front sun gear.
• The direct clutch is coupled and the rear carrier and rear sun gear are connected.
• During deceleration, the mid sun gear turns forward, so the forward one-way clutch idles and engine brake is
not activated.
