Clutch: Description and Operation
2-4 Clutch
The 2-4 clutch is used in both second and fourth gears, and is located directly behind the input clutch assembly. The clutch consists of the following:
-
Stamped steel clutch piston retainer
-
Aluminum piston
-
Belleville return spring
-
Clutch plates
-
Steel separator plates
-
Reaction Plate
The above parts are held in the case with snap rings. The 2-4 clutch surrounds the outside of the front sun gear assembly and when applied hydraulically,
locks or grounds the front sun gear assembly to the case.
The 2-4 clutch is a holding element. It is a multidisc clutch that provides more room within the transaxle, and eliminates the need for using a band and
servo as are used in other transaxle applications.
