L Gear Power Flow - Deceleration
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Power flow when decelerating is as follows:
- Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 1st clutch (18) and the coast/one-way clutch (17). Rolling resistance from the road surface goes through the front wheels to the final drive gear (33), then to the output shaft idler gear (14).
- The coast/one-way clutch (17) disengages because the application of torque is reversed.
- The counterforce conveyed to the 1st/2nd clutch shaft drive gear turns the mainshaft 3rd gear (34) via the output shaft idler gear (14). As a result, engine braking can be obtained with 1st gear.
