Multiple speed transmission for use in e.g. passenger vehicle, has clutches and brake selectively engageable to establish eight forward speed ratios and reverse speed ratio between input member and output member

摘要

The transmission (10) has a transmission housing (11) including an end wall (106) extending between two end walls (102, 104). A clutch (70) is selectively engageable to interconnect an input member (12) and a sun gear member (22) of a planetary gear set (16) with a planet carrier member of another planetary gear set (18). The clutch is placed in an area, and another clutch (72) placed in another area. The clutches and a brake are selectively engageable to establish eight forward speed ratios and a reverse speed ratio between the input member and an output member (14).
