Direct Clutch (B): Notes

NOTE: Friction and steel plate quantity will vary based on engine displacement. Refer to the CLUTCH PLATE QUANTITY CHART .

The direct clutch (B) connects the front planetary carrier to the rear No. 2 sun gear. This provides a reduction gear ratio of 1.52:1 from the input shaft to rear sun gear No. 2. The direct clutch (B) is applied in reverse, 3rd and 5th gears.

Regulated hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the direct clutch (B) piston against the direct clutch (B) pack to apply the clutch. The front planetary carrier and the rear No. 2 sun gear are connected as a result of the clutch being applied.
