1 Position (Deceleration)

2006 Honda Pilot EX, 3.5 YF2, J35Z1SECTION 1 Position (Deceleration)

The power flow in the 1 position when decelerating is as follows:

  • Hydraulic pressure is applied to the 1st clutch and the 1st-hold clutch.
  • Rolling resistance from the road surface goes through the front wheels to the final driven gear, then to the countershaft idler gear.
  • The one-way clutch disengages because the application of torque is reversed.
  • The force conveyed to the secondary shaft idler gear turns the mainshaft 3rd gear via the countershaft idler gear. As a result, engine braking can be obtained with 1st gear.
NOTE: The illustration shows the 4WD transmission; the 2WD transmission does not have the transfer mechanism.
