The transmission has six hydraulically activated clutches which provide four forward speeds and four reverse speeds. The transmission direction and speed control lever is used to select speed and direction manually in machines that are equipped with Conventional Steering. In machines that are equipped with Command Control Steering, direction is manually selected with the transmission direction control switch. In machines that are equipped with Command Control Steering, speed is manually selected with the transmission upshift switch and with the transmission downshift switch.

The transmission is fastened between the torque converter housing and the output transfer gear case. Input power to the transmission flows from the torque converter through the transmission input gear.

A speed clutch and a direction clutch must be engaged in order for power to be sent through the transmission. The speed clutch engages before the direction clutch. Table 1 lists the solenoids that are energized for each forward speed and for each reverse speed.

The Number 6 clutch holds ring gear (17) for the Number 6 clutch stationary. Input shaft (24) turns Number 2 sun gear (4). The Number 2 sun gear turns Number 2 planetary gears (26) .

Because ring gear (6) is held stationary by the Number 2 clutch, planetary gears (26) move around the inside of the ring gear. The movement of planetary gears (26) causes Number 2 and Number 3 carrier (7) to turn in the same direction as input shaft (24). As the Number 2 carrier and the Number 3 carrier turn, Number 3 planetary gears (28) turn.

The Number 3 planetary gears turn ring gear (9) for the Number 3 clutch and output shaft (23). Ring gear (9) turns Number 4 carrier (10).
