WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Acura MDX, 2005 Acura MDX, 2004 Acura MDX, and 2003 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  • Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 4th clutch, then the 4th clutch engages the mainshaft 4th gear with the mainshaft.
  • The mainshaft 4th gear drives the countershaft 4th gear and the countershaft.
  • Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which in turn drives the final driven gear and the transfer drive gear.
  • The transfer output shaft drives the transfer hypoid drive gear/shaft and the transfer output shaft (hypoid gear).
  • Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 1st clutch, but since the rotation speed of 4th gear exceeds that of 1st gear, power from 1st gear is cut off at the one-way clutch.
    NOTE: The illustration shows the 2005-2006 models; 2003-2004 models are similar.
