Powerflow
- In sixth gear the overdrive clutch drives the rear planetary carrier/center ring gear.
- The intermediate clutch holds the rear sun gear.
- The torque from the rear planetary carrier is transferred to the rear ring gear/front planetary carrier and the output hub which produces a gear ratio of 0.74.
