Abstract:
A transmission has an input member, an output member, at least four planetary gear sets, a plurality of coupling members and a plurality of torque transmitting devices. Each of the planetary gear sets includes first, second and third members. The torque transmitting devices include clutches and brakes actuatable in combinations of two to establish a plurality of forward gear ratios and one reverse gear ratio.
Abstract:
A guide pin assembly for a CVT variator includes a retainer and a guide pin coupled to the retainer. The retainer provides at least three functions for the guide pin: pilot, orientation and retention. The guide pin provides lateral and axial constraints to a chain guide through which a chain extends.

Abstract:
An automobile vehicle split torque transmission includes an electrical motor having a rotor drive shaft with a drive pinion attached to the rotor drive shaft, the rotor drive shaft defining a first axis. A first transfer gear is mounted on a first transfer gear shaft defining a second axis, the first transfer gear meshed with the drive pinion. A second transfer gear is mounted on a second transfer gear shaft defining a third axis, the second transfer gear meshed with the drive pinion. A differential ring gear is supported on a differential shaft and rotates a differential assembly, the differential shaft defining a fourth axis.
Abstract:
A multi-mode continuously variable transmission (CVT) for a motor vehicle includes a transmission input member, a transmission output member, a planetary gear set, a forward clutch, a brake, and a continuously variable unit having a first pulley, a second pulley, and an endless member wrapped around the first pulley and the second pulley. A first transfer gear set is connected to the transmission output member. A second transfer gear set is connected to the transmission output member. A dual clutch assembly is provided having a first clutch and a second clutch, wherein the first clutch selectively connects the second pulley to the first transfer gear set and the second clutch selectively connects the second pulley to the second transfer gear set. The dual clutch assembly provides two modes or ranges of continuously variable speed ratios between the transmission input member and the transmission output member.
