Band - Low/Reverse

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

For component location, refer to DISASSEMBLED VIEWS .

Hydraulic pressure is applied to the front side of the low/reverse servo.

This pressure causes the servo to stroke and apply force to the low/reverse band.
This action causes the low/reverse brake drum to be held.
The low/reverse band holds the low/reverse brake to the case in 1st position and reverse gears.
This causes the low/reverse planetary assembly to be held stationary.
