ABSTRACT:
An automatic transmission having multiple planetary gear elements adapted to establish and disestablish plural torque delivery paths between a driving member and a driven member, and releasable couplings adapted to connect selected gear elements of the transmission to ground and to connect two of the elements together to effect nonsynchronous ratio changes in the transmission without the necessity of engaging and releasing in timed sequence friction clutches and friction brakes, whereby friction torque losses are reduced and ratio changes in the transmission have a high degree of smoothness.
