against the housing by the multiple-disc holding
clutch B2 (6). The planetary pinion gears (18) turn
on the fixed sun gear (22) and increase the torque
from the annulus gear (10) to the planetary carrier
(14). The output shaft (26) connected to the planetary
carrier (14) turns at a reduced speed in the running
direction of the engine.

Torque from the torque converter is increased via
the input shaft (25) and the center and rear plane-
tary gearset and transferred to the output shaft (26).
(Fig. 4) (Fig. 5)
Front Planetary Gear Set
The planetary carrier (13) and sun gear (21) are
connected via the engaged multiple-disc clutch K1
(7). The planetary gearset is therefore blocked and
turns as a closed unit at the input speed due to the
mechanical connection of the annulus gear (8) and
input shaft.
Rear Planetary Gear Set
The annulus gear (11) turns at the input speed as
a result of the mechanical connection to the front
planetary carrier (13). The sun gear (23) is heldagainst the housing by the engaged multiple-disc
holding clutch B2 (6), by the locked freewheel F2 (24)
during acceleration and by the engaged multiple-disc
clutch K3 (12) during deceleration. The planetary
pinion gears (19) turn on the fixed sun gear (23) and
increase the torque from the annulus gear (11) to the
planetary carrier (15). The planetary carrier (15)
moves at a reduced speed in the running direction of
the engine.
Center Planetary Gear Set
The annulus gear (10) is driven at the same speed
as the rear planetary carrier (15) as a result of a
mechanical connection. The sun gear (22) is held
against the housing by the multiple-disc holding
clutch B2 (6). The planetary pinion gears (18) turn
on the fixed sun gear (22) and increase the torque

Torque from the torque converter is increased via
the input shaft (25) and the center planetary gearset
and transferred to the output shaft (26). (Fig. 6) (Fig.

Front Planetary Gear Set
The planetary carrier (13) and sun gear (21) are
connected via the engaged multiple-disc clutch K1
(7). The planetary gearset is therefore locked and
turns as a closed unit at the input speed due to the
mechanical connection of the annulus gear (8) and
input shaft (25).
Rear Planetary Gear Set
The multiple-disc clutch K2 (9) is engaged and
transfers the input speed of the input shaft (25) to
the planetary carrier (15) via the annulus gear (10).The annulus gear (11) turns in the same way as the
planetary carrier (15) due to the mechanical connec-
tion with the locked front planetary gearset. This
planetary gearset is therefore locked and turns as a
closed unit.
Center Planetary Gear Set
The annulus gear (10) turns at the input speed as
a result of the engaged multiple-disc clutch K2 (9).
The sun gear (22) is held against the housing by the

pinion gears (18) turn on the fixed sun gear (22) and

Speed and torque are not converted by the direct
gear ratio of the 4th gear. Power is transferred from
the input shaft (25) to the output shaft (26) via three
locked planetary gearsets. (Fig. 8) (Fig. 9)
Front Planetary Gear Set
The planetary carrier (13) and sun gear (21) are
connected via the engaged multiple-disc clutch K1
(7). The planetary gearset is therefore locked and
turns as a closed unit at the input speed due to the
mechanical connection of the annulus gear (8) and
the input shaft (25).
Rear Planetary Gear Set
The multiple-disc clutch K2 (9) is engaged and
transfers the input speed of the input shaft (25) to
the planetary carrier (15) via the annulus gear (10).
The annulus gear (11) turns in the same way as theplanetary carrier (15) due to the mechanical connec-
tion with the locked front planetary gearset. The
planetary gearset is therefore locked and turns as a
closed unit.
Center Planetary Gear Set
The annulus gear (10) turns at the input speed as
a result of the engaged multiple-disc clutch K2 (9).
The multiple-disc clutch K3 (12) connects the sun
gears (22) and (23) of the rear and center planetary
gearset. The planetary gearset is locked by the same
speeds of the annulus gear (10) and the sun gear (22)
and it turns as a closed unit.

Front Planetary Gear Set
The annulus gear (8) is driven by the input shaft
(25). The sun gear (21) is held against the housing by

The annulus gear (11) turns at a reduced speed due
to the mechanical connection with the front plane-
