Drive Range, Second Gear (Mechanical Powerflow)

Note

The component callouts in the text refer to the component callout numbers in disassembled views. Disassembled Views As vehicle speed increases, input signals from the transmission speed sensors (input and output), throttle position (TP) sensor, and other vehicle sensors are sent to the transmission control module (TCM). The TCM processes this information to determine the precise moment to shift the transmission. In 2nd gear, the planetary gearset continues to operate in reduction at a gear ratio of approximately 2.985:1. As vehicle speed increases, less torque multiplication is needed to move the vehicle efficiently. Therefore, it is desirable to shift the transmission to a lower gear ratio, or 3rd gear.

1. Power from Torque Converter The power flows through the turbine shaft to the input carrier (62) which is splined to the turbine shaft (568) and rotates at the same speed and direction.
2. Input Carrier Driving The power flows to the input carrier (62) which is splined to the turbine shaft (568) and rotates at the same speed and direction. Power flow continues through the input carrier pinion gears which are driving the direct overdrive sun gear shaft (65).
3. Direct Overdrive Sun Gear Shaft Driven The input internal gear (500) which is splined to the direct overdrive sun gear shaft (65) and rotates at the same speed and direction is driven by the input carrier (62) pinion gears.
4. 2-3-4-5-7-9-10 Clutch Assembly Applied The 2-3-4-5-7-9-10 clutch which is part of the triple clutch housing (66) is applied and holding the input internal gear (500) which is splined to the direct overdrive sun gear shaft (65) and rotates at the same speed and direction.
5. 1-2-3-4-6-7-8-10 Reverse Clutch Assembly Applied The 1-2-3-4-6-7-8-10 reverse clutch which is part of the triple clutch housing (66) is applied and holding the direct overdrive carrier (67) and rotates at the same speed and direction.
6. Direct Overdrive Carrier The direct overdrive carrier (67) is held by the 1-2-3-4-6-7-8-10 reverse clutch which is part of the triple clutch housing (66). The direct overdrive carrier rotates at the same speed and direction as the triple clutch housing (66) and the direct overdrive sun gear (68).
7. Direct Overdrive Sun Gear Driving The direct overdrive sun gear (68) which is splined to the direct overdrive sun gear shaft (65) rotates at the same speed and direction as the triple clutch housing (66) and the direct overdrive carrier (67).
8. Direct Overdrive Internal Gear Driven The direct overdrive internal gear (551) which is splined to the output sun gear (572) is driven by the direct overdrive carrier (67) at the same speed and direction.
9. Output Sun Gear Driving The output sun gear (572) is driving the output carrier (38) pinion gears.
10. Output Carrier Driven Powerflow continues through the output sun gear (572). Which drives the output carrier (38) pinions to achieve the 2nd gear starting ratio of approximately 2.985:1.
11. Low Clutch Roller Holding The power transferred to the input carrier (62) by the output carrier pinion gears attempts to rotate the carrier. The carrier is held stationary by the low clutch roller (421), and the low clutch roller is held stationary by the 1-2-8-9-10 reverse clutch assembly (414-420) being applied hydraulically during engine braking.
12. 1-2-8-9-10 Reverse Clutch Assembly Applied The 1-2-8-9-10 reverse clutch assembly (414-420) is applied and holding the low clutch roller (421) which is splined to the reaction sun gear (572) and held stationary.
13. 1-2-3-4-5-6 Reverse Clutch Assembly Applied The 1-2-3-4-5-6 reverse clutch assembly (30-35) is applied and holding the reaction internal gear (52) which is held stationary. Drive Range Second Gear
