Abstract

A multi step transmission comprising planetary gearsets (P1, P2, P3, P4), shafts and shift elements. The sun gear of gearset (P1) couples shaft (4) which couples housing (G) via brake (04). The carrier of gearset (P1) couples shaft (3), which couples housing (G) via brake (03), drive shaft (1) via clutch (13), and shaft (6) via clutch (36). Shaft (6) couples the ring gear of gearset (P2) and the sun gear of set (P4), and, via clutch (68), shaft (8), which couples the sun gear of gearset (P3). Shaft (1) couples the sun gear of gearset (P2) and the carrier of set (P3). Shaft (7) couples the ring gear of set (P1) and the carrier of gearset (P2). The ring gear of set (P4) couples shaft (5) which couples housing (G) via brake (05). Output shaft (2) couples the ring gear and carrier of gearsets (P3, P4) respectively.
