3 drums. front; direct; reverse/high.....forward.....reverse; low; low/reverse. The front drum is used for third and reverse, but since it's the forwardmost drum, sometime people call it the forward drum, but it's not....and the second drum (not second gear) is called the forward drum cuz it's used in all forward gears. Maybe we should start calling the forward drum the middle drum??
