1st SPEED GEAR OF MANUAL MODE (OVER SET SPEED)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Subaru Forester, 2012 Subaru Forester, 2011 Subaru Forester, and 2010 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the 1st gear is selected in manual mode (over set speed), both the low clutch and the low & reverse brake are engaged. Although the power flow configuration is the same as that with the 1st gear in the D range, the one-way clutch produces no freewheeling effect because the low & reverse brake is locking the rear internal gear always to the transmission case.
During coasting, therefore, the backward driving force from the wheels is transmitted through the reduction drive gear to the input shaft. This means, unlike the 1st gear in D range, that the engine braking effect is available in this range.
