Direct (3, 5, R) Clutch
The direct clutch is a drive clutch that transfers power from the direct/overdrive hub and shaft assembly to the rear sun gear. The direct clutch is applied in 3rd and 5th gear 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 transfers torque to the rear planetary sun gear as a result of the clutch being applied.
