LR3/Disco 3
The gear selector lever and the manual selector spool valve are in the 'R' 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 of the single web planetary gear train which rotate around the fixed sunwheel 1.
This transmits the drive to the single web planetary gear carrier, the outer plate carrier of clutch 'A' and the inner plate
carrier of clutch 'B'.
With clutch 'B' applied, sunwheel 2 in the double web planetary gear train is driven and meshes with the long planetary
gears.
The double web planetary gear carrier is locked to the transmission housing by brake clutch 'D'. This allows ring gear 2 to
be driven in the opposite direction to engine rotation by the long planetary gears.
NOTE :
SELECTOR POSITION SWITCH
The Mechatronic valve block contains a position switch which is mechanically connected to the selector spool valve. The
selector spool valve is connected by a selector shaft to the selector lever via a 'Bowden' selector cable.
