ABSTRACT:
A multiple ratio transaxle assembly for an automotive vehicle for delivering torque from a vehicle engine mounted on a first axis and a pair of axle half shafts mounted on a second axis in parallel disposition with respect to the first axis, the transaxle defining multiple geared torque flow paths with multiple forward driving ratios and having a differential gear unit having output gears connected drivably to the axle shafts, a two-speed final drive located at the torque output side of the multiple ratio gearing of the transaxle, the two-speed final drive being integrated with the differential gearing and the multiple ratio gearing of the transaxle to obtain improved fuel economy and increased torque ratio range.
