ABSTRACT:
A transaxle for use in an automotive vehicle driveline includes a torque converter and a compound planetary gear system having three simple planetary gear units adapted to provide five forward driving torque delivery paths, the two highest speed ratios being overdrive, the axis of the torque converter being located on the crankshaft axis of the vehicle engine, and a torque output shaft being parallel to the torque converter and engine axis. Hydraulically actuated friction clutches and brakes and one-way couplings interconnect the input and output of the transmission to members of the planetary gearing and the transmission casing. A final drive planetary gearset, driven by the output of the planetary gear units, drives a differential mechanism connected to the axle shaft of the vehicle.
