The geartrain includes the planetary gearsets, apply components, and final drive gearset and differential.
The automatic transaxle has two planetary gearsets to provide operation in reverse and four forward speeds. The gearsets are comprised of the following components:
1
7A153
Ring gear assembly — reverse/overdrive
3
7G132
Driven sprocket assembly
Drive Chain and Sprockets
A chain drive transfers torque from the torque converter turbine to the planetary gearsets. The chain drive is composed of the following components:
- Reverse/overdrive ring gear assembly which acts as a drive sprocket.
- Driven sprocket.
- Drive chain.
The drive chain connects the reverse/overdrive sun gear with the driven sprocket. The final drive sun gear located on top of the driven sprocket meshes with the final drive gearset.
The final drive consists of a planetary gearset that transfers and multiplies torque from the planetary gearsets to the differential. The final drive consists of the following components:
- Final drive sun gear: is chain driven by the reverse/overdrive ring gear assembly and transfers torque to the final drive carrier.
- Final drive carrier: the final drive carrier acts as the driven member and is part of the differential case.
- Final drive ring gear: is held by the converter housing and is always the held member of the final drive planetary gearset.
