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.
