Second gear band (also kickdown,) is applied in second gear.
High clutch is on in high or third gear and is also used in reverse.
Forward clutch, is applied anytime the car is going forward.
Low /reverse band is used in manual low (first gear position) and is applied in reverse.
Spag clutch (one way roller clutch) is appplied (locked) in first gear when using drive.
(Low /reverse band is not used in drive postion, low gear,) just the sprag holds the drum from spinning.
