A multiple speed transaxle 10 for a vehicle includes a first input shaft 14 having a first speed drive gear 76, a third speed drive gear 80 and a reverse drive gear 78. A second input shaft 16, rotatable independently of the first input shaft 14, has a second speed drive gear 64. An output shaft 20 has a first speed driven gear 92 engaged with the first speed drive gear 76, a second speed driven gear 94 engaged with the second speed drive gear 64, a third speed driven gear 96 engaged with the third speed drive gear 80, a reverse driven gear (102, fig 1), and a pinion 22 to engage with a differential 26. A reverse idler shaft 136 has an idler input gear 138 engaged with the reverse drive gear 78 and an idler output gear 140, axially spaced from and rotationally fixed to the idler input gear 138 and engaged with the reverse driven gear (102). Synchronizers selectively connect the driven gears 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, (102) to the output shaft 20 thereby coupling the first and second input shafts 14, 16 to the output shaft 20. |
