is not intended to limit the present disclosure application or uses with reference to fig1 a two speed automatic transmission having torque converter bypass according to the present invention is illustrated in a lever diagram and is designated by the reference number 10 a lever diagram is a schematic representation of the components of an automatic transmission wherein a planetary gear assembly is represented by a vertical bar or lever and the components of the planetary gear assemblies such as sun gears planet gear carriers and ring gears are represented by nodes the relative lengths of the vertical bars between the nodes represent the ratios between the components where as here there are only two planetary gear assemblies and a component of one planetary gear assembly is coupled directly to a component of another planetary gear assembly the two levers are combined into a single lever having four nodes torque transmitting devices such as friction clutches and brakes are represented by interleaved or nested fingers further explanation of the format purpose and use of lever diagrams can be found in sae paper no 810102 entitled u201c the lever analogy a new tool in transmission analysis u201d by benford and leising which is fully incorporated herein by reference the automatic transmission 10 includes an input.
