Abstract
An automatic transmission for a vehicle with a reverse gear brake that includes a case. A predetermined rotational element, having gear teeth and an axis, is disposed within the case. The predetermined rotational element only operates as a rotational element when achieving a reverse gear mode. A brake has a gear member. The gear member is attached to the case so that it cannot rotate relative to the case, but is movable along the axis of the predetermined rotational element so that it can be engaged and disengaged with the teeth of the predetermined rotational element. The predetermined rotational element is fixed to the case so that it cannot rotate relative to the case when the gear teeth engage the gear member.
