The input shaft drives the third clutch drum and the second clutch composition plates. When the second clutch
piston is applied, the rotating second clutch composition plates are locked w the second clutch steel plates. Since
the second clutch drum is now rotating in a clockwise direction, the ring gear is driven clockwise. As described in
"Principles of Operation", the carrier is driven in a clockwise direction. The long planet pinions also drive the
short planet pinions, which drive the input sun gear clockwise, causing the sprag assembly to overrun. The ratio
is 1.48:1.
