Abstract: An automatic transmission assembly is constructed or modified to minimize effects of wear thereon and maximize its operational life. The assembly includes a transmission case and has a modified ring-shaped center support that is to be secured against rotation within the transmission case. A center support plate, which is attachable to and detachable from the ring-shaped center support, includes protrusions thereon that engage between cooperating protrusions defined on the transmission case to secure the ring-shaped center support against rotation within the transmission case. The invention is particularly useful when the modified ring-shaped center support is a worn, original equipment support that has deteriorated in function. A process of modifying an automatic transmission assembly is also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to automatic transmissions. In particular, the instant invention relates to an automatic transmission with improved resistance to deterioration with an increased effective life. The transmission of the instant invention comprises eight pinion gears assembled into one carrier utilizing a forward and a rear sun gear, a ring gear, a band drum and a one way roller clutch.
