R Position
- Hydraulic pressure is applied to the D inhibitor valve to engage the reverse selector with the third shaft reverse gear while the shift lever is in R.
- Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 4th clutch, then the 4th clutch engages the third shaft 4th gear with the third shaft.
- Mainshaft rotation is transmitted to the third shaft 4th gear via the mainshaft 4th gear splined with the mainshaft.
- Rotation of the third shaft 4th gear is transmitted from the reverse selector hub that rotates with the third shaft to the third shaft reverse gear, via the reverse selector.
- The third shaft reverse gear drives the mainshaft 3rd gear via the reverse idler gear.
- The mainshaft 3rd gear drives the countershaft 2nd gear splined with the countershaft and the countershaft.
- The rotation direction of the countershaft is changed by the reverse idler gear.
- With SH-AWD: Power is transmitted from the countershaft to the final drive gear, which in turn drives the final driven gear and the transfer drive gear.
- Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which in turn drives the final driven gear and the differential.
- With SH-AWD: As the final driven gear turns the differential assembly, power is transmitted through the transfer drive gear to the transfer output shaft that drives the transfer hypoid drive gear/shaft and the transfer output shaft (hypoid gear).
NOTE:
This illustration shows the SH-AWD transfer assembly that is not available on all models.
