Claim:
1. A transmission comprising: an input member; an output member; a first planetary gear set assembly having at least a first, second, third, and fourth members, and wherein one of the second and third members of the first planetary gear set assembly is a carrier member rotatably supporting a first and a second sets of pinion gears and the input member is continuously interconnected to the first member of the first planetary gear set assembly; a second planetary gear set assembly having a first, second, and third members, and wherein the output member is continuously interconnected to the third member of the second planetary gear set assembly; a first interconnecting member continuously interconnecting the third member of the first planetary gear set assembly with the first member of the second planetary gear set assembly; and five torque transmitting mechanisms each selectively engageable to interconnect at least one of the first, second and third members of the first, second and third planetary gear sets with at least one other of the first, second, third members and a stationary member, and wherein the torque transmitting mechanisms are selectively engageable in combinations of at least two to establish at least six forward speed ratios and at least one reverse speed ratio between the input member and the output member.
