The second clutch, located in the rear of the trans-
axle case, is the Low Reverse (L/R) clutch. The
UR clutch is located in the very back of the case
and, as previously mentioned, shares the reaction
plate with the 2-4 clutch. Behind the reaction plate
is the clutch pack, belleville spring, L/R piston, and
piston retainer. The piston retainer is secured to
the case with three screws and sealed with a gasket.
The clutch is applied with line pressure from the
valve body that is directed through the transaxle
case to the piston retainer. This pushes the piston
forward and applies the clutch. When the clutch
is applied, it will lock or secure the front planetary
carrier to the transaxle case so it can not rotate.
When line pressure is released, the belleville spring
L)
pushes the piston back to release the clutch.
