2WD Mode Power Flow
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the MP 3023 ATC is in the 2WD mode, the power flows from the transmission (1) to the input shaft (2). The input shaft (2) is connected to the rear output shaft (4) by the high/low clutch (3). The high/low clutch (3) outer teeth are engaged with the input shaft (2) inner, high-speed position teeth. At the same time the high/low clutch is slip splined to the rear output shaft (4). The rear output shaft (4) delivers the power flow to the rear propshaft (5). The position of the control actuator shaft (7) allows no clutch (6) engagement. The high/low range shift fork (8), is in the high-speed position on the control actuator shaft (7).
