Abstract
A vehicular multi-stage transmission is provided. In particular, the transmission includes an input shaft and an output shaft. A first planetary gear set, a second planetary gear set, a third planetary gear set, a fourth planetary gear set, and a fifth planetary gear set (PG5) are provided and each is disposed between the input shaft and the output shaft to transfer a rotational force and has three rotation elements. Additionally, at least six gear-shifting elements are connected to the rotation elements of the planetary gear sets.
