Product description
The apply lever applies 2nd gear.
2nd gear in the 47RE is a band that wraps around the front drum. This drum is spinning in first gear and when the band applies and stops this drum, you are now in 2nd gear. There is a piston (servo) that fills with hydraulic fluid to apply the band. The apply lever is in between the piston and the band itself. It acts like a pry bar. It causes a mechanical advantage.
