Let S be an orientable closed surface with genus at least two. From S× I, for a given orientation-reversing homeomorphism f from S×{1} to S×{0}, there is an orientable closed 3-manifold M f= S× I/f which is called a mapping torus. It is known that M f admits a canonical Heegaard splitting H 1∪ Σ H 2. By the construction of Namazi [H. Namazi, Topology Appl. 154 (2007), no. 16, 2939-2949], the mapping class group of this Heegaard splitting, denoted by M o d (Σ; H 1, H 2), contains a reducible mapping class which has infinitely order. So it is interesting to know that for a given element in M o d (Σ; H 1, H 2), whether it is reducible or not. Using the translation length of f in the curve complex, we prove that if f is the identity map or its translation length is at least 8, then each element of M o d (Σ; H 1, H 2) is reducible.
