Patent ID: 7125360

Claim:
A multi-stage automatic transmission of a planetary design for a motor vehicle, comprising: at least one drive shaft (AN) and one driven shaft (AB) located in a housing; at least two planetary gear sets (RS 2 , RS 3 ) of a main gear set and one planetary reduction gear set (VS), at least five shifting elements comprising a first clutch (A) and a second clutch (B) which transmit torque of the planetary reduction gear set via a first power path to the planetary gear sets (RS 2 , RS 3 ) of the main gear set, a third clutch (E) and a first brake (C) and a second brake (D) for selective engagement of pair of the shifting elements to produce different reduction ratios between the drive shaft and the driven shaft, wherein an external disc carrier of the second clutch (B) is connected with one output element of the planetary reduction gear set (VS), an internal disc carrrier of the second clutch (B) extends radially above the first clutch (A) to the internal chisc carrier of the first brake (C), and the first clutch (A) is axially positioned between the second clutch (B) and the first brake (C), an internal disc carrier of the second clutch (B) extends to an internal disc carrier of the first brake (C) which, via a first shaft, is connected with one element of a second planetary gear set (RS 2 ), an internal disc carrier of the first clutch (A) is connected with one output element of the planetary reduction gear set (VS), an external disc carrier of the first clutch (A) is connected with (VS) element of a third planetary gear set (RS 3 ), an external disc carrier of the third dutch (E) is connected with one input element of the planetary reduction gear set (VS) and with the drive shaft (AN), the internal disc carrier of the third clutch (E) is respectively connected with one element of the second planetary gear set (RS 2 ) and of the third planetary gear set (RS 3 ), the second brake (D) is connected with one element of the second planetary gear set (RS 2 ), the housing is connected with one supporting element of the planetary reduction gear set (VS) and the driven shaft (AB) is connected with one element of the second planetary gear set (RS 2 ).
