ABSTRACT:
A power transmission for motor vehicles including two parallel mutually cooperative and inner acting power input drive trains connected between a motor vehicle power source and the vehicle drive shaft and a reversely directed torque compensating drive train operatively connected between the parallel power input drive trains, which transmission includes a first mechanical drive train which is connected to the motor vehicle power source and the vehicle drive shaft by differential torque transfer gearing which transmits torque in a reverse but parallel direction with respect to the drive shaft to a fluid torque converter having a turbine connected to a secondary hollow drive shaft. The torque converter dissipates the power source input torque at low engine RPM and functions to provide additional input to the mechanical drive train at higher engine speeds to thereby prevent the application of torque to the vehicle drive shaft at low engine idling speeds but which permits torque to be directed to the drive shaft automatically as higher engine speeds are achieved.
