Hydraulic pressure is applied to the front side of the intermediate servo.

• This pressure causes the servo to stroke and apply force to the intermediate band.
• This action causes the intermediate brake and direct clutch drum to be held.
• The intermediate band holds the intermediate brake and direct clutch drum to the case in 3rd gear.
• This causes the input shell and forward sun gear to be held stationary.
