<p>An automatic transmission in the form of the combination of a geared torque converter and a duplex epicyclic gearset comprising first and second co-axial sun gears, an annulus gear, a planet carrier carrying a first set of planet gear meshing with the first sun gear and the annulus gear and a second set of planet gears meshing with the second sun gear and with the planet gears of the first set. The arrangement is such that the duplex gear set provides high and low and forward and reverse ranges and a direct drive can be obtained by engaging a lock-up clutch.</p> |
