Method for establishing electrical connections in a hybrid electro-mechanical transmission

A method of assembling a hybrid electromechanical transmission, the method comprising:

• providing a preassembled terminal subassembly module including a first plurality of wire terminals, said terminal subassembly module being selectively movable as a unit with respect to a transmission housing;
• aligning the preassembled terminal subassembly with a second plurality of wire terminals affixed with respect to at least one electric motor/generator;
• and
• establishing electrical communication between each of said first plurality of wire terminals and a respective one of said second plurality of terminals;
• wherein each of the first plurality of wire terminals defines a respective attachment hole;
• and wherein the preassembled terminal subassembly farther includes a plurality of conductive rods each having a first end and a second end and defining a respective aperture extending from the first end to the second end;
• a plurality of threaded fasteners each extending through the attachment hole of one of said plurality of wire terminals and the opening of a respective one of said conductive rods;
• and at least one insulator member separating said conductive rods to prevent electrical communication between said conductive rods.
