ABSTRACT:
A transmission comprises a rotatable output; a rotatable input; three planetary gear sets each having rotatable first, second and third elements and planet gears; rigid rotatable couplings connecting the second element of each set with one element of one other set and connecting the third element of each set with a different element of one other set, the remaining elements of each set being uncoupled and being of the same kind; a brake for locking each coupling against rotation; the uncoupled element of one set being driven by the input and the uncoupled element of a second set driving the output; and a clutch arrangement for selectively connecting the uncoupled element of the third set with either or both of the uncoupled elements of the first and second sets.
