In 1st gear
- Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 1st clutch, then the 1st clutch engages the secondary shaft 1st gear with the secondary shaft by the one-way clutch
- The mainshaft 3rd gear drives the secondary shaft via the countershaft idler gear and secondary shaft idler gear
- The secondary shaft 1st gear drives the countershaft 1st gear and the countershaft
- Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which in turn drives the final driven gear and front differential
- With SH-AWD As the final driven gear turns the front differential, power is transmitted through the transfer drive gear to the transfer output shaft that drives the transfer hypoid drive gear/shaft and the transfer output shaft (hypoid gear)
NOTE:
The illustration shows the SH-AWD transfer assembly that is not available on all models
