  • Hydraulic pressure is applied to the servo valve to engage the reverse selector with the countershaft (reverse gear while the shift lever is in R position).
  • Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 5th clutch, then the 5th clutch engages the mainshaft reverse gear with the mainshaft.
  • The mainshaft reverse gear drives the countershaft reverse gear via the reverse idler gear.
  • The rotation direction of the countershaft reverse gear is changed via the reverse idler gear.
  • The countershaft reverse gear drives the countershaft via the reverse selector which drives the reverse selector hub.
  • 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).
