Isuzu D-Max / Isuzu Rodeo (TFR/TFS). Manual — part 1736

CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION 7A1-41

1st Gear in D, 3, 2 Range
The driving force from the input shaft is transmitted to the rear sun gear and reverse & high clutch drum.
Since the low clutch is engaged, the movement of the rear internal gear is restricted and, since the low one-
way clutch acts at the same time, counterclockwise rotations of the rear internal gear are locked. As a result,
the driving force transmitted to the rear sun gear rotates the rear planetary carrier clockwise, is decreased in
speed and transmitted to the output shaft.
When decelerating, since the rotating speed of the rear planetary carrier (rear pinion gear) is higher than that
of the rear sun gear and therefore, the rear internal gear attempts to rotate clockwise. At this time, the low
one-way clutch does not act but races and therefore the rear internal gear rotates clockwise. That is, the
reverse torque from the driving shaft is not transmitted to the engine side and therefore, the engine brake
does not act.

7A1-42 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION

1st Gear in L Range
The basic mechanism is the same as in the D, 3, and 2 Range. To apply the engine brake, the low & reverse
brake is engaged to restrict the movement of the low one-way clutch.
When decelerating, since the rear internal gear is fixed, reverse torque from the drive shaft is transmitted to
the engine side so that the engine brake is applied.

CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION 7A1-43

2nd Gear in D, 3, 2 Range
The driving force from the input shaft is transmitted to the rear sun gear and reverse & high clutch drum. As
in the case of the 1st gear, since the low clutch is engaged, the movement of the rear internal gear is
restricted. Since the 2-4 brake is engaged, the front sun gear is fixed. As a result, movement of the rear
internal gear is restricted, and the driving force transmitted to the rear sun gear rotates the rear planetary
carrier clockwise, and is decreased and output. The rotating speed of the rear planetary carrier is increased
as the rear internal gear rotates.
When decelerating, the engine brake is applied.

7A1-44 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION

3rd Gear in D, 3 Range
The driving force from the input shaft is transmitted to the rear sun gear and reverse & high clutch drum. As
in the case of the 1st gear and 2nd gear, since the low clutch is engaged, the movement of the rear internal
gear is restricted. Since the high clutch is engaged, the driving force from the input shaft is directly
transmitted to the rear internal gear. As a result, the rpm of the rear sun gear and the rear internal gear
becomes the same as that of the input shaft so that the rear pinion gear rotates not independently but
together with the rear sun gear and rear internal gear.
When decelerating, the engine brake is applied.
