ABSTRACT:
A transaxle assembly for delivering torque from an engine driven vehicle to the vehicle traction wheels comprising a hydrokinetic torque converter and compound planetary gearing arranged on a first axis which is coincident with the axis of the crankshaft of the engine, a cross drive arranged on an axis that is transverse and axially offset with respect to the axis of the gearing, a differential gear mechanism having output elements on the cross axis arranged close to the transverse plane of the torque converter and final drive gearing between the output element of the multiple ratio gearing and the differential mechanism, the final drive gearing being situated in a plane intermediate the torque converter and the multiple ratio gearing, and clutches and brakes for controlling the speed ratio of the multiple ratio gearing arranged in radially stacked fashion to provide a minimum axial length for the assembly.
