When oil pressure is applied to the K3 clutch (4), a clockwise turning effect of the P1 planetary annulus gear is transmitted and the P2 planetary annulus gear rotates clockwise.
When oil pressure is applied to the K2 clutch (3), a clockwise turning effect is given to the P2 planetary annulus (9).
As the P2 planetary annulus gear rotates, the clockwise turning effect of the sun gear shaft (11) is obtained.
Then, a clockwise turning effect of the P3 planetary annulus gear that is connected to the P2 planetary annulus (9) and a clockwise turning effect of the sun gear shaft gives a clockwise turning effect to the P3 planetary annulus (8), and a clockwise turning effect is also given to the output shaft (7).
