*Planetary Gear: A set of gears providing different gear ratios.
* Friction and brake bands: Engage and disengage various elements of the planetary gear.
* Solenoids: Control gear shifting by activating friction and brake bands.
*Transmission control unit (TCU): An electronic control unit that controls the transmission and receives input from vehicle sensors.
External components:
