N RANGE
Since the rear sun gear the high clutch drum are in mesh with the input shaft, they rotate together with the input shaft.
The high clutch drum does not transmit the torque to the planetary unit since the reverse clutch and the high clutch are not engaged.
The torque of the rear sun gear is transmitted to the rear internal gear through the pinion gear. However, the torque of the rear sun gear is not transmitted to the rear planetary carrier since the low clutch is disengaged and therefore, the rear internal gear is freewheeling.
As a result, the torque of the input shaft is not transmitted to the reduction drive shaft*.
Note. *: MPT models only. VTD models are equipped with an intermediate shaft.
