Abstract

A speed change gear system for providing at least four forward drive speed ranges and one reverse drive speed range includes planetary gear sets of the single-pinion type and simple planetary gear sets of the double-pinion type as well as a plurality of clutches and brakes. As a result of the coupling and uncoupling of the clutches and brakes, the movable elements of the gear sets are suitably coupled so as to attain the various speed ranges.
