- 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
- Hydraulic pressure is 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 countershaft reverse gear drives the countershaft via the reverse selector which drives the reverse selector hub
- The rotation direction of the countershaft is changed by the reverse idler gear
- With SH-AWD Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which in turn drives the final driven gear and the transfer drive gear
- Power is transmitted to the final drive gear, which in turn drives the final driven gear and front differential
- With SH-AWD As the final driven gear turns the front differential, power is transmitted through the transfer drive gear to the transfer output shaft that drives the transfer hypoid drive gear/shaft and the transfer output shaft (hypoid gear)
NOTE:
The illustration shows the SH-AWD transfer assembly that is not available on all models
