Clutch and Gear

The 42LE transaxle consists of:
- Three multiple-disc input clutches
- Two multiple-disc grounded clutches
- Four hydraulic accumulators
- Two planetary gear sets

This provides four forward ratios and a reverse ratio. The clutch apply pistons have centrifugally balanced oil cavities so that quick response and good control can be achieved. A push/pull piston is incorporated for two of the three input clutches.

CAUTION: Some clutch packs appear similar, but they are not the same. Do not interchange clutch components as they might fail.
