ABSTRACT:
A multiple ratio transmission having a main gear unit with at least three forward driving ratios and a single reverse drive ratio and a simple planetary gear unit in series with the main gear unit, the simple planetary gear unit being downshifted and the main gear unit being upshifted on an upshift from a first intermediate ratio to a higher intermediate ratio, the simple planetary gear unit being upshifted and the main gear unit being downshifted on a downshift from the higher intermediate ratio to the first intermediate ratio, the initiation of the inertia phase of the upshifting mean gear unit on an overall automatic transmission ratio upshift triggering the beginning of the release of a reaction element of said simple planetary gear unit upon downshifting of said simple planetary gear unit.
