In 5th Gear
- Hydraulic pressure is applied to the servo valve to engage the reverse selector with the countershaft 4th-5th gear and reverse selector hub while the shift lever is in forward range; D, D3, S, 2, and 1.
- Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 5th clutch, then the 5th clutch engages the mainshaft 5th gear with the mainshaft.
- The mainshaft 5th gear drives the countershaft 4th-5th gear.
- The countershaft 4th-5th gear drives the countershaft via the reverse selector, which drives the reverse selector hub.
- Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which in turn drives the final driven gear.
