Produces a non-positive locking connection between two elements of a planetary gear set or between one
element from each of two planetary gear sets in order to transmit the drive torque.
Multi-Plate Clutch, Design
A multi-plate clutch consists of a number of internally toothed discs (10) on an internally toothed disc
carrier and externally toothed discs (9) on an externally toothed disc carrier.

Operation
Front Multiple-Disc Clutch (K1) - If the piston (K1a) on the front multiple-disc clutch (k1) is subjected to oil
pressure, it presses the internal and external discs of the disc set together. See Fig. 46.
The front sun gear (V1) is connected to the front planetary gear carrier (V3) via the external multiple-disc
carrier (K1b) and the internal multiple-disc carrier (k1b) and the internal multiple-disc carrier (K1c). The front
planetary gear set is thus locked and turns as a closed unit.
Center Multiple-Disc Clutch (K2) - If the center multiple-disc clutch (K2) is engaged via the piston (K2a), the
piston compresses the disc set Via the internal multiple-disc carrier (K2b) and the center planetary gear carrier
(M3) on which the internal discs are seated, the front hollow gear (v4) of the front planetary gear set is
connected to the center hollow gear (M4) of the center planetary gear set. The front hollow gear (V4) and the
center hollow gear (M4) move at the same speed as the drive shaft (1).
Rear Multiple-Disc Clutch (K3) - If the rear multiple-disc clutch (K3) is engaged via the piston (K3a), then
this compresses the disc set. The center sun gear (M1) of the center planetary gear set is connected to the rear
sun gear (H1) of the rear planetary gear carrier via the external multiple-disc carrier (K3b) and internal multiple-
disc carrier (K3c). The center sun gear (M1) and the rear sun gear (H1) move at the same speed.
