Abstract
Front-drive automatic transmission includes an output gear positioned between a planetary gear system and a hydrokinetic torque converter. A differential is provided to deliver torque from the output gear to each of two axle shafts. A transmission case for the planetary gear system and a torque converter housing for the torque converter are connected to each other to define an interface which lies in a plane disposed outboard of the inboard face of the output gear with respect to the gear system. The transmission case is formed with a valve cover attachment surface which extends up to a location adjacent the plane.
