Intermediate (2, 6) Clutch

The intermediate clutch is a brake clutch that holds the rear sun and shell assembly. The intermediate clutch is applied in 2nd and 6th gear.

Hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the intermediate clutch piston against the intermediate clutch pack to apply the clutch. The rear planetary sun gear is held stationary to the transmission case as a result of the clutch being applied.
