11 Reduction one-way clutch
On 4th gear selection, the high clutch, 2-4 brake, and the reduction brake are engaged. During acceleration in 4th
gear, the reduction one-way clutch is locked. Power flows from the input shaft to the front planetary carrier to rotate
clockwise by the high clutch. The 2-4 brake locks the front sun gear. The front pinion gear rotates clockwise and forces
the front planetary carrier to rotate clockwise simultaneously. This allows the front internal gear to rotate clockwise
and transmit power to the reduction internal gear via the output gear and idler gear. The rotational speed of the
planetary carrier is faster than 3rd gear because of the rotation of the internal gear. Power is then transmitted to the
road wheels in the same way as 1st gear.
