If no member is held (locked), then there is no output (neutral).

Halderman | Tom Birch FIGURE 6–5 The gear ratio through a planetary gear set depends on which part is driven, which part is held, and which part is the output. The formula used to calculate the ratio is included with each illustration. Each gear set uses a 40-tooth sun gear and a 77-tooth ring gear.

29. Copyright © 2015 by Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, 6e James D. Halderman | Tom Birch Frequently Asked Question How Was the Powerglide Different? Two-speed transmissions were used in the 1950s and 1960s and are still a popular transmission used in racing. They are no longer in production, but so many were produced that they are still encountered. The most common was the Chevrolet Powerglide (type 9 gear set). In two-speed Ravigneaux transmissions, the small primary sun gear is attached to the input shaft so it is always an input. The large sun gear, called the secondary sun gear, is either a reaction member or an input member. The carrier is the output member, and the ring gear can be a reaction member. A driving clutch is placed on the input shaft so the secondary sun gear can be driven, and a band, is placed around the clutch drum so the secondary sun gear can be held in reaction. The clutch is often called the high clutch, and the band is called a low band. The ring gear is held by either a band (first version) or a multiple-disc clutch (second version), called either a reverse clutch or a reverse band. SEE FIGURE 6–19.

Halderman | Tom Birch FIGURE 6–19 When a Powerglide is in low gear, the low band is applied to hold the low sun gear stationary. At this time, the long pinions will be driven by the input sun gear and walk around the low sun gear to drive the carrier.
