The D clutch and F clutch are applied effectively locking the planetary carrier No. 1, the planetary carrier No. 3, and the ring gear No. 4 together. The A clutch is holding the ring gear No. 1. The 2 inputs to the planetary gear set No. 1 cause the sun gear No. 1 and the sun gear No. 2 to rotate at a 0.44 overdrive ratio. The input shaft turns the planetary carrier No. 2 and causes the ring gear No. 2 and sun gear No. 3 to rotate at a 3.58 ratio. The E clutch is applied to transfer torque from the input shaft to the ring gear No. 3 and the shell and sun gear No. 4. The 2 inputs to the 3rd planetary gear set cause the planetary carrier No. 3 and ring gear No. 4 to rotate at a 1.38 ratio. The 2 inputs to the 4th planetary gear set cause the output shaft and planetary carrier No. 4 to rotate at a 1.28 ratio.
