Auxiliary transmission in transmission system

A transmission apparatus comprising:

• an auxiliary transmission adapted to be connected with a main transmission, and which comprises:
• a low speed damper which has a damper characteristic for a low speed select state of the auxiliary transmission, and which is disposed in a low speed transmission path used for transmission of torque in the low speed select state of the auxiliary transmission without intervention of a torque converter;
• and
• a bypass member defining a bypass transmission path bypassing the low speed damper, the bypass transmission path being a torque path used for transmission of torque in a high speed select state of the auxiliary transmission,
• wherein the auxiliary transmission further comprises:
• a high speed damper which has a damper characteristic for the high speed select state, and which is disposed in a common transmission path used for transmission of torque in both of the low speed select state and the high speed select state of the auxiliary transmission.

An auxiliary transmission for transmitting torque to a main transmission, comprising:

• an output terminal member configured to transmit torque from the auxiliary transmission to the main transmission;
• a low speed damper configured to transmit torque during a low speed select state along a low speed transmission path without intervention of a torque converter, that includes the output terminal member, the low speed damper being a torsional damper;
• and
• a bypass member configured to bypass the low speed damper during a high speed select state and to transmit torque along a high speed transmission path that includes the output terminal member.
