Automatic transmission

Abstract

An automatic transmission includes an input shaft, an acceleration/deceleration output unit that is coupled to the input shaft and has a first element that selectively outputs a decelerated rotation or an accelerated rotation of the input shaft and a second element that outputs a same number of rotations as the input shaft, a multiple planetary gear set for shifting having third, fourth, fifth and sixth elements, a first clutch coupling the first element and the sixth element selectively, a second clutch coupling the input shaft and the fourth element selectively, a third clutch coupling the first element and the third element selectively, a fourth clutch coupling the second element and the third element selectively, a first brake fixing the third element selectively, a second brake fixing the fourth element selectively and an output shaft coupled directly to the fifth element.
