Abstract
A planetary transmission mechanism comprising two simple planetary gear sets driven by the engine of a vehicle by an input clutch or torque converter and having four friction engaging devices and a one-way engaging device to establish four forward driving ratios and reverse through the transmission. A center output gear is mounted between the input clutch or torque converter and the planetary gear sets. The pair of friction engaging devices comprising clutches associated with the planetary gear set are mounted immediately adjacent the gear input elements which they connect.
