1st Gear Power Flow
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 1st clutch (18), then the 1st clutch (18) engages the 1st/2nd clutch shaft 1st gear (19) with the 1st/2nd clutch shaft (32) by the coast/one-way clutch (17).
- The mainshaft 3rd gear (34) drives the 1st/2nd clutch shaft (32) via the output shaft idler gear (14) and the 1st/2nd clutch shaft drive gear (20).
- The 1st/2nd clutch shaft 1st gear (19) drives the output shaft 1st gear (15) and the output shaft (10).
- IF AWD, power is transmitted to the final drive gear (33), which in turn drives the final driven gear (22) and the transfer drive gear (21). Then the transfer output shaft (23) drives the transfer case hypoid drive gear/shaft and the transfer output shaft/hypoid gear.
- If FWD, power is transmitted to the final drive gear (33) which in turn drives the final driven gear (22), which turns the front differential assembly (28).
