Oil pressure is applied to the K2 clutch (3), and a clockwise turning effect is given to the P2 planetary annulus (10).
Oil pressure is applied to the B1 brake, and since the P2 planetary annulus gear is fixed, the P2 planetary pinion gear rotates counterclockwise on it's own axis while revolving clockwise.
As a result, the sun gear shaft (12) obtains a clockwise turning effect.
The clockwise turning effect of the sun gear shaft (12) and the P3 planetary annulus gear connected to the P2 planetary annulus (10) gives a clockwise turning effect to the P3 planetary annulus, and the clockwise turning effect is then also given to the output shaft.
