Forward Clutch

The forward clutch connects the turbine shaft to the outer race of the forward one-way clutch, which in turn drives the low/intermediate sun gear in all forward gear ranges. However, in fourth gear, the forward clutch transmits no power because the forward one-way clutch is overrunning. The forward clutch is a multi-disc clutch and is contained in the forward/coast/direct clutch cylinder assembly.
