Which statement about clutch rotation is accurate?

• A. Forward and Fourth clutches are rotating.
• B. First, Second, and Third clutches are rotating.
• C. All clutches are stationary.
• D. No rotating clutches.

Answer: (A)

It hinges on which clutch paths are driven by the engine through the transmission input shaft. When the engine is running, only the clutches that sit on the torque path from the input shaft to the output shaft will rotate. In this setup, the forward clutch and the fourth gear clutch are part of that active path, so they are rotating. The others aren’t on a driven path in this scenario, so they remain stationary unless their respective gears are engaged.
