Low/Reverse Clutch: Notes

The low/reverse clutch is a brake clutch that holds the low OWC which is splined to the rear planetary carrier. The low/reverse clutch is applied in manual LOW, REVERSE and 1st gear up to 8 km/h (5 mph).

Hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the low/reverse clutch piston against the low/reverse clutch pack to apply the clutch. The rear planetary carrier is held stationary to the transaxle case as a result of the clutch being applied.
