In Harvey's sketch to me the red shaft appears to drive the rear green shaft through the sun gears turning the blue planetaries. Direct mechanical connection.
The VTD clutch is in yellow and must be connected to the yellow transfer gear. By energising this clutch some of the 64% power going to the rear green drive shaft is transferred to the forward drive shaft via the yellow transfer gear.
Is this a correct interpretation?
