Ya got me. Planetary gear sets have always bent my brain a little. Indulging
in some dangerous speculation, but I would THINK that in 3rd gear the moving
chunk of the whole crazy double-stacked planetary gear array is just locked
up as one solid piece with the input shaft spinning the output shaft at
1:1.... I don't exactly know when/how the forward clutch engages though.
