VEHICLE DRIVE SYSTEM

摘要

A drive system (2A) includes a transmission mechanism (7) that establishes a plurality of gear positions comprising a first-speed through sixth-speed gear positions and a reverse -drive gear position, by switching among change gear trains (41 - 44, 46) and coupling a first driveshaft (10A) to an output member (5), and also includes a lock clutch (SL) that switches a power distribution mechanism (6) between a locked state in which a ring gear (Rg) and a carrier (Cr) are coupled to each other and are inhibited from rotating in a differential fashion, and a released state in which the inhibition of the differential rotation is cancelled.
