FUNCTION OF CLUTCH AND BRAKENJAT0013S03
Clutch and brake components Abbr. Function
5Reverse clutch R/C To transmit input power to front sun gear7.
6High clutch H/C To transmit input power to front planetary carrier10.
15Forward clutch F/C To connect front planetary carrier10with forward one-way clutch16.
17Overrun clutch O/C To connect front planetary carrier10with rear internal gear13.
4Brake band B/B To lock front sun gear7.
16Forward one-way clutch F/O.C When forward clutch15is engaged, to stop rear internal gear13from rotat-
ing in opposite direction against engine revolution.
18Low one-way clutch L/O.C To stop front planetary carrier10from rotating in opposite direction against
engine revolution.
19Low & reverse brake L & R/B To lock front planetary carrier10.

*1: Operates when overdrive control switch is set in ªOFFº position.
*2: Oil pressure is applied to both 2nd ªapplyº side and 3rd ªreleaseº side of band servo piston. However, brake band does not contract
because oil pressure area on the ªreleaseº side is greater than that on the ªapplyº side.
*3: Oil pressure is applied to 4th ªapplyº side in condition *2 above, and brake band contracts.
*4: A/T will not shift to 4th when overdrive control switch is set in ªOFFº position.
*5: Operates when overdrive control switch is ªOFFº.
j: Operates.
A: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, activating engine brake.
B: Operates during ªprogressiveº acceleration.
C: Operates but does not affect power transmission.
D: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, but does not affect engine brake.

POWER TRANSMISSION=NJAT0013S02ªNº and ªPº PositionsNJAT0013S0201+ªNº position
Power from the input shaft is not transmitted to the output shaft because the clutches do not operate.
+ªPº position
Similar to the ªNº position, the clutches do not operate. The parking pawl engages with the parking gear
to mechanically hold the output shaft so that the power train is locked.

+Low and reverse brakeAs overrun clutch engages, rear internal gear is locked by the operation of low and
reverse brake.
This is different from that of D
1and 21.
Engine brake Overrun clutch always engages, therefore engine brake can be obtained when
decelerating.

+Forward clutch

+Brake bandRear sun gear drives rear planetary carrier and combined front internal gear. Front internal gear now
rotates around front sun gear accompanying front planetary carrier.
As front planetary carrier transfers the power to rear internal gear through forward clutch and forward
one-way clutch, this rotation of rear internal gear increases the speed of rear planetary carrier com-
pared with that of the 1st speed.

connected to rear internal gear by operation of forward clutch and forward one-way clutch.
This rear internal gear rotation and another input (the rear sun gear) accompany rear planetary carrier
to turn at the same speed.
