WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mazda RX-8, 2007 Mazda RX-8, 2006 Mazda RX-8, 2005 Mazda RX-8, and 2004 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The driving force of the input shaft is transmitted to the rear sun gear and the reverse and high clutch drum. However, since none of the clutches are operating, the driving force is not transmitted to the output shaft. Accordingly, the vehicle is under conditions enabling movement but since the parking pawl mechanically locks the output shaft, the rear planetary gear and front internal gear are locked. Due to this, the vehicle is stopped.
