Direct (3, 5, R) Clutch
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The direct clutch is a drive clutch that transfers power from the direct/O/D clutch hub assembly to the rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly. The direct clutch is applied in 3rd and 5th gears and reverse.
Hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the direct clutch piston against the direct clutch pack to apply the clutch. The input shaft and direct/O/D clutch hub assembly transfers torque to the rear planetary sun gear and shell assembly as a result of the clutch being applied.
