ABSTRACT:
A torque converter and a planetary gear arrangement are positioned in serial power flow relation between an engine and a final drive. A continuously variable unit (CVU) is positioned for serial power flow between a torque converter clutch and the final drive. The power path of the CVU includes a direct clutch which, when engaged, connects the CVU with the output member of the planetary gear arrangement. The power flow path of the planetary gear arrangement includes a one-way clutch which permits overrunning of the planetary input member when the direct clutch is engaged.
