TURBINE MOUNTED P2 FRONT WHEEL DRIVE TRANSMISSION ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A P2 transmission and engine assembly includes a transverse mounted transmission having: a transmission first end and a transmission second end oppositely positioned with respect to the transmission first end; and a transmission gearbox portion having a first cavity positioned at the second end. A torque converter is positioned at the transmission first end. An electric motor is positioned within the first cavity and is rotatably connected to the torque converter using a turbine shaft. A one-way clutch is connected to the turbine shaft and releasably connects the turbine shaft to the torque converter. The one-way clutch when disengaged disconnects the torque converter from the turbine shaft.
