  • Patent number: 5334117
    Abstract: An automatic transmission includes first and second multi-step or speed transmissions mounted in parallel with each other with respect to a transmission shaft. The multi-step or speed transmissions are operationally coupled by a counter gear for transmitting engine torque from the first multi-step or speed transmission to the second multi-transmission. An extension unit having friction clutch elements is detachably coupled to the first multi-step or speed transmission for changing a transmission path of the engine torque through it. The number of shiftable gear ratios of the automatic transmission, therefore, can be increased.
