Hydraulic pressure is applied to the front side of the reverse servo.

This pressure causes the servo to stroke and apply force to the reverse band.
This action causes the reverse brake drum to be held.
The reverse band holds the reverse brake to the case in 1st position and reverse gears.
This causes the reverse planetary assembly to be held stationary.
