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 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 carrier is driven via clutch 'E' which is engaged. The long planetary gears, which are also
meshed with the short planetary gears, and the double web planetary gear carrier, drive ring gear 2 in the direction of
engine rotation.
