Overdrive Clutch

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The O/D  clutch is a drive clutch that transfers power from the direct/O/D  clutch hub assembly to the rear planetary carrier. The O/D  clutch is applied in 4th, 5th and 6th gears.

Hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the O/D  clutch piston against the O/D  clutch pack to apply the clutch. The input shaft and direct/O/D  clutch hub assembly transfers torque to the rear planetary carrier as a result of the clutch being applied.
