An automatic transmission which includes a first rotating member and a second rotating member is provided. The first rotating member includes an outer rotating member having a first outer power transmission part and an outer extending part, and an inner rotating member which is made of a different material from the outer rotating member and has a first inner power transmission part and an inner extending part. The outer and inner extending parts are coupled through a first extending part formed by axially joining them to each other at a caulking part. The second rotating member includes a second extending part having a recess indented on an opposite side of the first extending part. The caulking part has a protrusion protruding by being recessed from the first extending part to the second extending part. At least a part of the protrusion is located inside the recess.

Automatic transmission

A power transmission device in an automatic transmission includes a friction tightening element (a second brake) having a drum member, and a transmission path constituent member (a third ring gear) coupled to the drum member via a coupling part extending circumferentially along the drum member, the drum member having low-rigidity parts (long holes) provided at a plurality of circumferential positions on the drum member in at least one of portions radially outside and inside the coupling part.

Automatic transmission power transmission device

A friction engagement device of an automatic transmission is provided, which includes a rotational member comprised of at least one of a drum member and a hub member including a spline part engaged with a friction plate to be movable in axial directions of the automatic transmission, and a drive force transmitting part for exchanging a drive force with another rotational element. The drive force transmitting part of the rotational member is made of a ferrous metal. A part of the rotational member other than the drive force transmitting part is made of a clad material containing a first material that is easily joined to the ferrous metal and a second material that is less easily joined to the ferrous metal compared to the first material and weighs less than the ferrous metal.
