ABSTRACT:
A four-speed planetary transmission has three friction clutches which are selectively engageable in pairs or simultaneously to provide a drive connection between the transmission input and the planetary gearing during the four forward speeds. One apply piston selectively engages two of the friction clutches and a second apply piston selectively engages the other friction clutch and one of the two friction clutches. Simultaneous actuation of both apply pistons causes engagement of all three clutches. A one-way clutch is disposed in series drive relation with the friction clutch that is selectively engageable by both apply pistons.
