Abstract
A compound transmission comprising a main section and an auxiliary section is disclosed. The auxiliary section includes an auxiliary drive gear rotatably mounted on an input shaft, and a reduction set including a splitter gear and a deep reduction gear rotatably mounted on an output shaft. Each of the auxiliary section gears is engaged with a corresponding auxiliary countershaft gear. A first clutch rotatable with the input shaft couples either the auxiliary drive gear or the splitter gear to the input shaft. A second clutch rotatable with the output shaft couples either the splitter gear or the deep reduction gear to the output shaft. One of the four main section forward gears may be clutched in from either of two sides to give a ten forward speed compound transmission which uses a standard 5-speed shift pattern.
