[N] Position
Engine power transmitted from the torque converter drives the mainshaft 3rd gear, the countershaft 3rd gear, and the secondary shaft idler gear, but hydraulic pressure is not applied to the clutches. Power is not transmitted to the countershaft. The countershaft 5th gear is engaged with the reverse selector hub and the countershaft by the reverse selector, when the shift lever is shifted in the [N ] position from the forward range [D 5 ], [D 4 ], [D 3 ], [2 ], [1 ], positions). The countershaft reverse gear is engaged when shifted from the [R ] position.
