  2. It is housed in the direct clutch drum.
  3. During 4th, 5th, and reverse gear application, the direct clutch is applied transferring torque from the forward clutch cylinder to the direct clutch drum.
  4. This action causes the forward sun gear to drive the pinions of the low/reverse planetary carrier.
