FUNCTION OF CLUTCH AND BRAKE

CLUTCH AND BAND CHART

●

*1: Operates when overdrive control switch is being set in OFF position.

●

*2: Oil pressure is applied to both 2nd “apply” side and 3rd “release” side of band servo piston. However, brake band does not con-
tract because oil pressure area on the “release” side is greater than that on the “apply” side.

●

*3: Oil pressure is applied to 4th “apply” side in condition *2 above, and brake band contracts. 

●

*4: A/T will not shift to 4th when overdrive control switch is set in OFF position.

●

*5: Operates when overdrive control switch is OFF.

●

 

 : Operates. 

●

A: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, activating engine brake. 

●

B: Operates during “progressive” acceleration. 

●

C: Operates but does not affect power transmission.

●

D: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, but does not affect engine brake.

POWER TRANSMISSION
P and N Positions

●

P position
Similar to the N position, no control members operate. The parking pawl interconnected with the select
lever engages with the parking gear to mechanically hold the output shaft so that the power train is locked.

●

N position
No control members operate. Power from the input shaft is not transmitted to the output shaft since the
clutch does not operate.
