Multi-gear transmission i.e. ten-gear transmission, has clutches and brakes selectively engaged in combinations of three for producing ten forward gears and reverse gear between input element and output element

摘要

The transmission (10) has connecting elements (46, 48) for continuously connecting a sun gear element (18A) and a ring gear element (18C) of a planetary gear set (18) with another sun gear element (20A) and a planetary carrier element (20B) of another planetary gear set (20), respectively. Clutches (24, 26, 28) and brakes (30, 32, 34, 36) are selectively engaged to connect one of the elements with the other elements and a gear housing (50), and in combinations of three for producing ten forward gears and a reverse gear between an input element (12) and an output element (22).
