Patent ID: 7263907

Claim:
A multi-speed transmission for transmitting power from a power source, the transmission comprising: an input member; an output member; a torque converter operatively connected between said input member and the power source to create a fluid coupling therebetween; a first shaft; a second shaft; seven selectively engageable synchronizers; a plurality of intermeshing gears; some of said gears being continuously connected with one of said input member, said output member, said first shaft and said second shaft for rotation therewith; others of said gears each being selectively interconnectable with another one of said input member, said output member, said first shaft and said second shaft via selective engagement of a respective one of said synchronizers; a first and a second clutch alternately selectively engageable for operatively interconnecting said respective first and second shafts with one of said input member and said output member; and said selective engagement of said clutches and said synchronizers thereby operatively interconnecting said input member with said output member through said intermeshing gears to transfer power provided from the power source to said output member at six forward speed ratios and one reverse speed ratio.
