Patent ID: 6860832

Claim:
A transmission assembly, especially for motor vehicles, comprising: a housing, a drive shaft, a countershaft; and an arrangement for changing the reduction ratio between the drive shaft and the countershaft which has a continuously variable transmission and drivingly downstream thereof a mechanical transmission with shifting elements in the form of clutches and brakes, and a planetary gear set for shifting of the reverse gear and one or more forward gear ranges; wherein the parts of the mechanical transmission are sequentially disposed as follows: beginning downstream of the continuously variable transmission is a brake (1) for the reverse gear with integrated oil supply; downstream and adjacent the brake (1) is a first clutch (2) for a second range; downstream and adjacent the first clutch (2) is a planetary gear set (3); downstream and adjacent the planetary gear set (3) is a second clutch (4) for a first gear range with an integrated oil supply; and downstream and adjacent the second clutch (4) is a spur pinion.
