ABSTRACT:
An automatic transmission wherein a gear train is constituted by three single pinion type planetary gear sets, provided with a first planetary gear set having a first sun gear, a first ring gear, and a first carrier holding pinion gears meshing with the first sun gear and the first ring gear, a second planetary gear set having a second sun gear, a second ring gear which is normally or selectively connected with the first carrier, and a second carrier holding pinion gears meshing with the second sun gear and the second ring gear, a third planetary gear set having a third sun gear normally or selectively connected to the second carrier, a third ring gear which is continuously connected with the first carrier, and a third carrier holding pinion gears meshing with the third sun gear and the third ring gear and connected to the output shaft, a first clutch means which selectively connects the input shaft and the first ring gear, a second clutch means which selectively connects the first sun gear and the second carrier, a third clutch means which selectively connects the input shaft and the first sun gear, a fourth clutch means which selectively connects the first sun gear and the second sun gear, a first brake means which selectively stops the rotation of at least the third sun gear among the second carrier and the third sun gear, a second brake means which selectively stops the rotation of the first sun gear, and a third brake means which selectively stops the rotation of the second sun gear, at least five forward speeds and one reverse speed being settable as transmission stages.
