Forward Clutch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The forward clutch connects the turbine shaft to the outer race of the forward one-way clutch, which in turn drives the low/intermediate sun gear in all forward gear ranges. However, in 4th gear, the forward clutch transmits no power because the forward one-way clutch is overrunning. The forward clutch is a multi-disc clutch and is contained in the forward/coast/direct clutch cylinder assembly.
