Abstract

A planetary gear train of an auto transmission for a vehicle may include an input shaft, four planetary gear sets, eight rotational shafts and six friction elements. The rotational shafts connect rotation elements of corresponding first, second, third, and/or fourth planetary gear sets, and one or more rotational shafts are directly or selectively connected to an output shaft or a transmission housing. The six friction elements selectively connect the rotational shafts and selectively connect one or more rotational shafts with the transmission housing.
