| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | C clutch |
| 2 | D clutch |
| 3 | F clutch |
| 4 | E clutch |
| 5 | Input shaft |
| 6 | Output shaft and planetary carrier No. 4 |
The C clutch, D clutch, F clutch and the E clutch are applied to provide multiple inputs at the same speed to all four planetary gearsets. These inputs effectively lock all four planetary gearsets causing the output shaft and planetary carrier No. 4 to rotate at a 1:1 ratio with the input shaft.
