WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Primary shaft (P1, P2):
The input shaft rotates clockwise. All clutches and brakes are disengaged, and no power is transferred to the planetary trains.
Secondary shaft (P3):
No power is transmitted to the secondary shaft. B4 locks the sun gear so that it cannot rotate in any direction. Shift-lock (P), which is actuated by the mechanical linkage, is engaged by means of the locking wheel on the output shaft and prevents the car from rolling.
