Abstract:
A power transmission comprising:an input shaft;an output shaft;a simple planetary gear set having a first sun gear member, a first ring gear member, and a first carrier assembly member, said ring gear member being continually connected for common rotation with said output shaft;a compound planetary gear set having a second sun gear member, a second ring gear member, and a second carrier assembly member, said second sun gear member being connected for common rotation with said input shaft, said second carrier assembly member being connected for common rotation with said first sun gear member;a first torque transmitting mechanism selectively connecting said second ring gear member with said first carrier assembly member;a second torque transmitting mechanism selectively connecting said second ring gear member with said output shaft;a third torque transmitting mechanism selectively and individually connecting said second carrier assembly member with said second ring gear member, said first torque transmitting mechanism, and said second torque transmitting mechanism;a fourth torque transmitting mechanism selectively connecting said first carrier assembly member with said input shaft;a fifth torque transmitting mechanism selectively connecting said first sun gear member and said second carrier assembly member with a stationary component of the transmission; anda sixth torque transmitting mechanism selectively connecting said first carrier assembly member with said stationary component.
