Abstract
A first planetary gear unit PR and a clutch Cfor outputting reduced speed rotation are located on one axial side of a second planetary gear unit PU, and a clutch Cfor connecting and disconnecting an input shaftto/from a sun gear Sand a clutch Cfor connecting and disconnecting the input shaftinput to/from a carrier CRare located on the other axial side of the second planetary gear unit PU. An output mechanism is located between the first and second planetary gear units. As compared with a drivetrain wherein the clutch Cor clutch Cis located between the two planetary gear units, the two planetary gear units can be located closer together, and a transmitting member that transmits the reduced speed rotation can be made shorter. Further, compared to a drivetrain wherein the clutches C, C, Care located together on one axial side, the oil supply to the hydraulic servos can be simplified.
