摘要 |
The present disclosure provides an automatic transmission having an input adapted to couple to a torque-generating mechanism and an output coupled to the input. The transmission also includes a first rotating torque-transferring mechanism disposed along a first torque path and coupled to the input. A second rotating torque-transferring mechanism is disposed along a second torque path and is coupled to the input independent of the first torque-transferring mechanism. The transmission includes a plurality of stationary torque-transferring mechanisms, each of which is disposed between the input and output. The transmission includes a first planetary gearset, a second planetary gearset, a third planetary gearset, and a fourth planetary gearset, where each gearset includes a sun gear, a ring gear, and a carrier assembly. Moreover, the carrier assembly of the third planetary gearset is coupled to the output and the sun gear of the fourth planetary gearset. |
