Overdrive Clutch Assembly

Overdrive Clutch

For overdrive clutch operation, REFER to: Transmission Description . Refer to: Transmission Description - System Operation and Component Description . Refer to: Overdrive Clutch Assembly .

NOTE: The Low Reverse and Overdrive clutches use SSD, CBLR/C456 regulator valve, SSD SIG and CBLR/C456 SUPPLY hydraulic circuits, and the multiplex shift valve. Faults with these components will affect reverse, 1, 4, 5 and 6 gears. If the vehicle operates correctly in first and reverse, these components are functioning properly
