ABSTRACT:
A vehicle driving apparatus applied to a small-sized vehicle of FF or RR type includes an input shaft connected to a drive shaft through a torque convertor, a planetary gearing including various gears and a carrier, an output gear, an intermediate transmission shaft provided at one end with a driven gear meshing with the output gear and connected at the other end to a final reduction device, and various clutches and brakes. In the apparatus, another clutch for providing an overdrive is disposed on the side opposite to the planetary gearing with respect to the output gear for disconnectably connecting the input shaft or the drive shaft to the carrier. The clutch protrudes from the transmission casing and is enclosed by a separate cover so that removal of the clutch can simply turn the four-forward speed automatic transmission into a three-forward speed automatic transmission.
