    摘要: A multi-speed automatic transmission includes a housing, a transmission input shaft, and a plurality of clutches. Different combinations of clutches of the plurality of clutches are engaged to generate different gear ratios corresponding to respective forward speeds of the automatic transmission. The plurality of clutches are positioned within the housing and include a first friction clutch coupled the input shaft and having a first hub, and a second friction clutch having a second clutch hub. The second friction clutch is disposed about the input shaft and radially nested within the first clutch hub such that the second friction clutch is positioned radially between the first clutch hub and the input shaft. The first friction clutch is engaged to generate at least two forward speeds of the transmission and the second friction clutch is engaged to generate seven forward speeds of the transmission including the two forward speeds.
