LR3/Disco 3
The double planetary gear train comprises:
Two sunwheels
Three short planetary gears
Three long planetary gears
One planetary gear carrier
One ring gear or annulus
POWER FLOWS
Operation of the transmission is controlled by the TCM which electrically activates various solenoids to control the
transmission gear selection. The sequence of solenoid activation is based on programmed information in the module
memory and physical transmission operating conditions such as vehicle speed, throttle position, engine load and selector
lever position.
