"N" position

The synchronised mechanism for changing between forward and reverse ratios is located between the primary pulley and the electromagnetic clutch.

This mechanism allows selection of the "N" position from the "D" drive position and vice-versa during vehicle operation.

"N" position

This is the neutral position. The selector rod is in the central position, hence power cannot be transmitted from the principal gear to the gearhub.

"D" position

When the selector lever is in this position the selector rod is displaced to the right to operate the forward ratio.

In this condition the selector rod transmits power from the principle gear to the primary pulley via the gearhub.

"R" position

In this position the selector rod moves to the left to engage reverse. In this condition the power from the principle gear is transmitted via the idler gear to the primary pulley via the reverse gearset

2. Torque

NOTE: When performing the R «--» N «--» D changes, the accelerator pedal must be completely released, even if the vehicle is stationary.
