LR3/Disco 3
The gear selector lever and the manual selector valve spool are in the 'D' position. Engine torque is transmitted from the
torque converter turbine shaft to the ring gear 1 of the single web planetary gear train and the outer plate carrier of clutch
'E'.
Ring gear 1 drives the planetary gears which rotate around sunwheel 1. This drives the planetary gear carrier 1 and also
the outer plate carrier of clutch 'A' and the inner plate carrier of clutch 'B'.
When clutch 'A' is engaged, sunwheel 3 in the double web planetary gear train is driven and meshes with the short
planetary gears.
The double web planetary gear train is locked against the transmission housing by brake 'D'. This allows ring gear 2
(output shaft) to be driven in the same direction as the engine via the long planetary gears.
