c. D (Drive) Position—Direct (See Fig. 6)
The power flow from the torque converter goes
directly through the transmission because the
planetary elements of the gear train are locked
up by two mutiple disc clutches and both bands
are released. The torque converter provides all
of the torque multiplication.
Kickdown (Forced Downshift) in D (Drive)
Position Below approx. 30 M.P.H. This will
force the transmission to downshift and the
power flow will be the same as D (drive) posi-
tion (breakaway).
Kickdown (Forced Downshift) in D (Drive)
Position at approx. 30 to 70 M.P.H. This will
force the transmission to downshift and the
power flow will be the same as D (drive) posi-
tion 2nd speed.
d. 1 (Low) Position—Low Speed (See Fig. 7)
In 1 (low) position the power flow is the same
as D (drive) position (breakaway) or 2 (sec-
ond) position (breakaway) with one exception
—the low-reverse band is applied, holding the
reverse planet carrier to provide engine brak-
ing.
