Abstract:
An input shaft 10 is connected rotationally with an intermediary shaft 20 through a main drive gear GMV, a connecting idle gear GCC and a connecting driven gear GCN and also connected rotationally with a countershaft 30 through the main drive gear GMV and a main driven gear GMN. A fourth speed drive gear G4V, which is provided on the countershaft 30, meshes with a fourth and sixth speed drive gear G46V, which is provided rotatably over the input shaft 10. Both the fourth and sixth speed drive gear G46V and a fifth speed drive gear G5V, which is provided rotatably over the intermediary shaft 20, mesh with a fourth, fifth and sixth speed driven gear G456N, which is provided on the output shaft 50.
Abstract:
In a four parallel shaft type automatic transmission, the driving force of a main shaft is transmitted to a first sub-shaft and a second sub-shaft via a gear train. A first speed clutch provided on the first sub-shaft and a fourth speed clutch and a fifth speed - reverse clutch provided on the main shaft on the left-hand side of the gear train are placed so that they are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the shafts, and a second speed clutch provided on the first sub-shaft and a third speed clutch provided on the second sub-shaft on the right-hand side of the gear train are placed so that they are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the shafts. Therefore, the overall axial length of the five clutches can be shortened so reducing the size of the automatic transmission.
Abstract:
In a three-shaft type automatic transmission, a fifth frictionally engaging element is mounted on a second central shaft, and first and second frictionally engaging elements and third and fourth frictionally engaging elements are mounted respectively on first and third shafts which are disposed on opposite sides of the second shaft. When one of the first and third shafts is used as an input shaft, the second shaft is an output shaft. When one of the first and third shafts is used as an output shaft, the second shaft is an input shaft. The first and second frictionally engaging elements and the third and fourth frictionally engaging elements on the opposite sides of the second shaft are symmetrically disposed to reduce dead space and make the transmission case small. Because the positional relationship between the input and output shafts can be transposed, the property of the transmission for general purpose is enhanced.
Abstract:
Hydraulically operated transmission having plural gear trains each selectively established by engagement of an associated hydraulic clutch. Each hydraulic clutch has an outer member and an inner member with the inner member being divided into at least a first inner part and a second inner part engaged in parallel with the outer member. A one-way clutch is interposed between the first inner part and the second inner part of each hydraulic clutch. The first inner part of each clutch is directly coupled to a member on one of the input side and the output side of the hydraulic clutch. The second inner part is connected to that member through the one-way clutch so that the one-way clutch allows overrotation of the second inner part when the member is on the input side and overrotation of the member when it is on the output side.
Abstract:
A transmission is provided in which gears (31 to 34) of a first gear group provided on a first auxiliary input shaft (13) to which driving force of a main input shaft (12) is transmitted via a first clutch (24) and gears (37 to 39) of a second gear group provided on a second auxiliary input shaft (14) to which the driving force of the main input shaft (12) is transmitted via an idle gear (17 to 19) and a second clutch (25) use in common gears (43 to 46) of a third gear group provided on an output shaft (16), whereby it becomes possible to cut the number of components and reduce the dimensions of the transmission. Further, since the advance/retard relationship between the timing with which the first and second clutches (24, 25) are switched over and the timing with which the synchronizing devices (35, 36, 41, 42) are switched over can be freely chosen when establishing any of the gear positions, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of shift shock due to timing lag, thus enabling gear shifting to be carried out smoothly.

Abstract:
An oil passage is provided in an axially central portion of a spool which is received within a valve housing and rotatively driven by a pulse motor, and oil passages passed diametrically through the spool and connected to the oil passage, so that a hydraulic pressure from an input port connected to a hydraulic pressure source is selectively supplied to the oil passages for selectively engaging and disengaging frictionally engaging elements of an automatic transmission. An axially acting load provided by the hydraulic pressure is received by a thrust bearing mounted at an end of the spool. The supply of oil from the axial portion of the spool enables no side force to be applied, thereby reducing the frictional force and to enhance the sealability between the valve housing and the spool.
Abstract:
A hydraulically operated transmission having first- to fourth-speed gear trains established by first-speed to fourth-speed hydraulic clutches, a one-way clutch incorporated in the first-speed gear train for permitting overrotation of an output side, and a first-speed maintaining hydraulic clutch also in the first-speed gear train parallel with the one-way clutch. The transmission includes first and second input shafts and an output shaft in parallel with one another within a transmission case. The first input shaft is connected to a fluid torque converter, through that end wall of the transmission case which is closer to an engine and to which a valve block is assembled. The first and second input shafts are rotatably connected at an opposite end to the engine, through an idle gear on the output shaft. The first-speed to fourth-speed gear trains are divided into two sets, each set including two gear trains, the two gear trains of one set being interposed in parallel between the first input shaft and the output shaft, the two hydraulic clutches for establishing the two gear trains of the one set being disposed in a back-to-back relation on the first input shaft, the two gear trains of the other set being interposed in parallel between the second input shaft and the output shaft, the two hydraulic clutches for establishing the two gear trains of the other set being disposed in a back-to-back relation on the second input shaft.
