Abstract
A transmission includes a first planetary gearset and a second planetary gearset, each having a respective first planetary member, a respective second planetary member, and a respective third planetary member. The planetary members of the first planetary gearset are coaxially disposed on, and selectively rotatable about, a first axis. The planetary members of the second planetary gearset are coaxially disposed on, and selectively rotatable about, a second axis. An axis transfer mechanism including meshing gears transmits torque between the first and second planetary gearsets.
