Versaplanetary Output Direction

I am going to change a question that might be a major Duh! moment.

Given a Versa Planetary with three stages a 5:1, a second 5;1, and a third 4:1 to make 100:1.

Now during competition season the ring gear on our 4:1 broke. For offseason repairs we replaced the 4:1 with a 3:1 and therefore we now have net 75:1 after repairs.

Now a question. Should we expect the direction of the output shaft to reverse with the change from 4:1 to 3:1?

I don't think so because that's not how planetary gears work. But I have been know to be wrong.

Thanks!
