Power Flow
Front Section Power Flow
Note: The heavy lines in the image below outline the power 
flow description below. 
1. Power (torque) from the engine is transferred to 
the transmission’s Input Shaft.
2. The Input Shaft rotates the Main Drive Gear 
through internal splines in the hub of the gear.
3. The Main Drive Gear meshes with both Counter 
Shaft driven gears, and the torque is split between 
both Counter Shafts.
4. Because the Counter Shaft gears are in constant 
mesh with the Main Shaft gears, all the front sec-
tion gearing rotates. However, only the engaged 
Main Shaft gear will have torque. External clutching 
teeth on the sliding clutch will engage internal 
clutching teeth on the selected Main Shaft gear. 
Torque will now be provided from both opposing 
Counter Shaft gears, into the engaged Main Shaft 
gear, and through the sliding clutch to the front 
section Main Shaft.
5. The rear of the front section Main Shaft is splined 
into the Auxiliary Drive Gear, and torque is now 
delivered to the Auxiliary Section.
Front Section Power Flow - Direct Gear
In direct gear (5th/10th for FA model, 4th/9th for FAO 
model), the front sliding clutch is moved forward and 
engages into the back of the Main Drive Gear. Torque will 
flow from the Input Shaft to the Main Drive Gear, Main Drive 
Gear to sliding clutch, sliding clutch straight into the front 
section Main Shaft which delivers the torque to the Auxil-
iary Drive Gear.
Note: All Counter Shaft and Main Shaft gears will rotate, but 
not all gears will be loaded.
