ABSTRACT:
A planetary gear arrangement has two simple planetary gearsets and six selectively engageable friction torque transmitting mechanisms which are controlled to establish five forward transmission ratios and one reverse transmission ratio. One of the planetary gearsets establishes one forward ratio and the reverse ratio. The two planetary gearsets are compounded through both a continuous torque transmitting connection and a selectively engageable drive connection comprised of one of the torque transmitting mechanism during the two lowest forward transmission ratios and through the continuous torque transmitting connection during the highest of the forward transmission ratios. Both planetary gearsets are maintained in a direct drive ratio during the numerically central (third) forward ratio.
