Abstract:
1. A transmission comprising: an input member; an output member; a first, second, and third planetary gear sets each having a first, second and third member; a first, second and third torque transfer assembly each having a first member and a second member; a first interconnecting member continuously interconnecting the second member of the first torque transfer assembly with the third member of the first planetary gear set; a second interconnecting member continuously interconnecting the third member of the second planetary gear set with the first member of the first torque transfer assembly; a third interconnecting member continuously interconnecting the second member of the second planetary gear set with the second member of the third planetary gear set; a fourth interconnecting member continuously interconnecting the first member of the third planetary gear set with the first member of the third torque transfer assembly; a fifth interconnecting member continuously interconnecting the first gear of the second torque transfer assembly with the first member of the third torque transfer assembly; and six torque transmitting mechanisms each selectively engageable to interconnect at least one of the first members, second members, third members of the planetary gear sets, first members and second members of the torque transfer assemblies with at least one other of the first members, second members, third members of the planetary gear sets, first members, second members of the torque transfer assemblies and a stationary member, and wherein the six torque transmitting mechanisms are each selectively engageable in combinations of at least three to establish at least ten forward speed ratios and at least one reverse speed ratio between the input member and the output member.
