A multi-stage transmission includes a first stage, a second stage, a final drive, and at least two torque transmitting devices. The at least two torque transmitting members selective couple the first stage, the second stage and the final drive with each other to produce a reverse gear or one of a plurality of forward gears.

Multi-stage transmission

A continuously variable transmission pulley includes a body defining a hollow tube having a longitudinal central bore. Multiple cylinders are fixed to the body each having a cylinder bore in fluid communication with the longitudinal central bore. A piston is slidably positioned in the cylinder bore of each of the cylinders. A pressurized fluid present in the central bore acts equally against each of the pistons to equally outwardly displace the pistons. A biasing member is connected to each piston and is in direct contact with the pressurized fluid. A friction member is connected to a free end of each of the pistons. Diametrically opposed ones of the friction members define a pulley diameter that varies depending on a portion of the diametrically opposed ones of the pistons extending outwardly from the cylinders.
