Power Flow Diagrams: Reverse: Notes
In Reverse, transaxle drive is via the input shaft and clutch B. The elements of this transaxle function are as follows:
- Clutch B is engaged and drives the reverse sun gear in a clockwise direction.
- The D band is engaged and holds the planetary gear carrier (front & rear) stationary causing the differential pinion to rotate clockwise.
- The differential rotates in a counterclockwise direction.
- The output shaft is driven in a counterclockwise or reverse direction.
