LR3/Disco 3
The gear selector lever and the manual selector spool valve 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.
Sunwheel 2 is locked to the transmission housing by brake clutch 'C'. The long planetary gears, which are also meshed
with the short planetary gears, roll around the fixed sunwheel 2 and transmit drive to the double web planetary gear train
carrier and ring gear 2 in the direction of engine rotation.
