Power Flow
When throttling off, the output shaft's power in 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd or reverse gear goes directly to the input shaft without any freewheel, which provides engine braking. 1st gear does not have any engine braking since the power transmission is interrupted by freewheel F2.
Position P (parking)
Primary shaft
The input shaft rotates clockwise. All clutches and brakes are disengaged, and no power is transferred to the planetary trains.
Output (secondary) shaft
No power is transmitted to the output (secondary) shaft. Brake band B4 locks the sun gear so that it cannot rotate in any direction. Shiftlock P, which is affected by the mechanical link system, is engaged with the lock wheel on the output shaft and prevents the vehicle from rolling.
Position N (neutral)
Primary shaft
The input shaft rotates clockwise. All clutches and brakes are disengaged, and no power is transferred to the planetary trains.
Output (secondary) shaft
No power is transmitted to the output (secondary) shaft. Brake band B4 locks the sun gear so that it cannot rotate in any direction. Shift-lock P is disengaged. The planetary gears can rotate freely around the sun gear and the vehicle will start to roll if it is on an incline.
The reason for the brake B4 being activated in both P as N-position is to minimize the engagement shock that otherwise is produced when several brakes and clutches are activated at the same time when the gear selector is moved to D or R-position. Since B4 is still activated in both first gear and reverse, in this way simultaneous engagements are reduced.
