Power Flow Through The Transmission
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Jaguar XJR, 2002 Jaguar XJR, and 2001 Jaguar XJR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
From the Torque converter, power is transferred to the three epicyclic gear trains, various elements of which can either be joined together or held still by either the Freewheels or the Multi-disc Clutch/Brake assemblies (controlled by the Electro-hydraulic control unit). This combination of elements results in five forward and two reverse gear ratios. The resulting rotational torque is taken from the transmission output shaft, to the final drive assembly via the driveshaft
