Reverse Clutch

^ The reverse clutch transmits torque converter drive force to the rear sun gear and drum. The reverse clutch operates during reverse movement of the vehicle. The reverse clutch external clutch plate is coupled to the reverse clutch drum, which is coupled to the turbine shaft. When the turbine shaft rotates, the reverse clutch drum and reverse clutch external clutch plate rotate together as one unit.
^ Because the reverse clutch internal clutch plate is coupled to the rear sun gear and drum, the reverse clutch internal clutch plate and the rear sun gear and drum also rotate together as one unit.
^ When hydraulic pressure is applied to the clutch piston, the reverse clutch external clutch plate and the external internal clutch plate are pressed tightly together. The rotation of the turbine shaft is transmitted through the reverse clutch drum to the rear sun gear and drum.
