In drive 4, transaxle drive is via the input shaft and clutches E and C. The elements of this transaxle function are as follows:
| • | Clutch E is engaged to drive the rear planetary gear carrier. |
| • | The rear planetary gear carrier drives the rear ring gear. |
| • | The rear ring gear carrier drives the differential gear. |
Clutch E Engaged
Solenoid 2 will be switched OFF. Line pressure, which is supplied by the reduction valve, flows to the inlet port of clutch valve E. Fluid will then pass through the clutch valve and clutch E will engage.
Clutch C Engaged
Pressure control solenoid 4 (PCS) will be switched OFF causing the fluid level to be high. Line pressure will be directed to the safety valve, clutch valve D, and holding valve D. Clutch valve C and holding valve C will engage as pressure flows through the safety valve.
