Turbine mounted p2 front wheel drive transmission arrangement

A P2 transmission and engine assembly, comprising:

• a transverse mounted transmission having:
• a transmission first end and a transmission second end oppositely positioned with respect to the transmission first end;
• and
• a transmission gearbox portion having a first cavity positioned at the transmission second end;
• a torque converter positioned at the transmission first end;
• an electric motor positioned within the first cavity and rotatably connected to the torque converter using a turbine shaft;
• and
• a one-way clutch connected to the turbine shaft and releasably connecting the turbine shaft to the torque converter, the one-way clutch when disengaged disconnecting the torque converter from the turbine shaft.

• a transverse mounted transmission having:
• a transmission first end and a transmission second end oppositely positioned with respect to the transmission first end;
• a transmission gearbox portion having a first cavity positioned at the transmission second end;
• and
• a gear set having multiple planetary gears defining a six-speed gear set;
• a torque converter positioned at the transmission first end;
• an electric motor positioned within the first cavity;
• a turbine shaft connecting the electric motor to the torque converter, and having the gear set connected to the turbine shaft;
• a combustion engine connected to the transmission first end and rotatably connected to the torque converter;
• and
• a one-way clutch connected to the turbine shaft and releasably connecting the turbine shaft to the torque converter, the one-way clutch when disengaged disconnecting the torque converter from the turbine shaft allowing the electric motor to be operated without wind-milling the combustion engine.
