A planet gear is rotatably supported in a planet carrier assembly on needle bearings. A first, gear thrust washer bearing member permits relative rotation between the planet gear and the carrier assembly while transmitting thrust forces between the planet gear to the carrier. The thrust forces generated by the needle bearings are transmitted to the first, gear thrust washer bearing member through a second, needle, thrust washer bearing member which is disposed in a recess within the face of the planet gear and freely rotatable relative to the planet gear. |
