A tolerance ring is interposed between an output side rotary shaft and a rotor shaft. For this reason, even in a case where a backlash formed in a spline fitting portion between the output side rotary shaft and the rotor shaft is not eliminated, the rotary shafts of both of the output side rotary shaft and the rotor shaft are held by the tolerance ring without a backlash, and rattling noise can be suppressed. An oil supply groove for supplying a lubricant between an annular portion of the tolerance ring and the output side rotary shaft is provided inside an annular groove formed in the output side rotary shaft. With this, it is possible to suppress degradation of the durability of the tolerance ring without performing special processing on the tolerance ring.

A first ring gear of a drive unit is connected to a second carrier and is mechanically connected to a counter shaft. A first sun gear is connected to a second sun gear and a first rotary electric machine. A first clutch selectively switches between a connection state and a disconnection state of the first sun gear and an engine. A second clutch selectively switches between a connection state and a disconnection state of a first carrier and the engine. A brake selectively switches between a fixed state and a release state of a second ring gear to and from a fixing member.

A hybrid drive of a motor vehicle has an internal combustion engine, an electric machine, an automated manual transmission with an input shaft and an output shaft, and a phase shifter gearbox in a planetary design with two input elements and one output element. A first input element of the gearbox is connected to a hollow shaft arranged in a coaxial manner around the output shaft, which is connectable to an idler gear of an axially adjacent spur gear stage of the manual transmission, and, for bypassing the gearbox, is connectable to the second input element or the output element of the gearbox. The second input element of the gearbox is permanently in drive connection with a rotor of the electric machine, and the output element of the gearbox is connected in a torque-proof manner to the output shaft.

The power transmission device includes: a first shift input unit in which a reverse clutch and a first shift high clutch are provided at both ends and a first shift low gear is installed to be constrained by a first shift one-way gearing in one direction so that a driving force from a power input unit is transmitted thereto; a firs shift output unit to which a driving force from the first shift input unit is transmitted; a reverse input gear unit to which a reverse driving force from the first shift input unit is transmitted; a second shift input unit in which a second shift middle clutch is provided at one side end and a second shift low gear is installed to be constrained by a second shift one-way bearing in one direction so that a driving force from the first shift output unit is transmitted thereto; a forward idle gear unit connected to and installed at the first shift output unit and the second shift input unit to transmit a driving force from the first shift output unit to the second shift input unit; and a second shift output unit installed so that a reverse driving force by the reverse input gear unit and a forward driving force by the second shift input unit are transmitted thereto.

A hybrid drive device for a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine includes a first electric motor and a second electric motor. A transmission includes a first partial transmission connected to the first electric motor and a second partial transmission connected to the second electric motor, each being connectable to an output shaft. The internal combustion engine can selectively be uncoupled from the transmission or can be connected in a form-fit manner to the first or the second partial transmission. The first electric motor is connected at a constant gear ratio to a first drive shaft of the first partial transmission, and the second electric motor is connected at a constant gear ratio to a second drive shaft of the second partial transmission. The internal combustion engine can also be connected in a form-fit manner to the output shaft by way of a direct gear-change means.

A fault evaluation device for an automatic transmission evaluates a fault of the automatic transmission. The fault evaluation device is used for a vehicle having the automatic transmission and a control device configured to execute a learning process for correcting a target pressure for oil to be supplied to the automatic transmission such that variations in acceleration of the vehicle during shifting of the automatic transmission are small. The fault evaluation device includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores mapping data that prescribe mapping. The processor is configured to output an output variable, which is an evaluation value that indicates the presence or absence of the fault of the automatic transmission, when an input variable is input.

A four-wheel drive vehicle includes: a drive-power distribution device for distributing a drive power from an engine to main and auxiliary drive wheels with a drive-power distribution ratio between the main drive wheels and auxiliary drive wheels; and a control apparatus for controlling an electric motor such that the drive-power distribution ratio becomes a target distribution ratio value, by setting an electric-current command value for driving an electric motor. The control apparatus is configured, in a drive-power transmitted state in which the drive power is transmitted to the drive-power distribution device, to execute a command-value reduction control operation for causing the electric motor to be driven with the electric-current command value being set to a value smaller than in a drive-power non-transmitted state in which the drive power is not being transmitted to the drive-power distribution device.
