Transmission i.e. eight speed transmission, has torque transmitting mechanisms 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 shaft (42) continuously interconnecting a ring gear member (14A) of a planetary gear set (14) e.g. sun gear, with a stationary element i.e. transmission housing. Another shaft (46) continuously interconnects another ring gear member (16A) of another planetary gear set (16) with a third ring gear member (18A) of a third planetary gear set (18). Five torque transmitting mechanisms (26-34) are selectively engageable to establish eight forward speed ratios and a reverse speed ratio between an input member (12) and an output member (22).
