A front wheel drive or rear wheel drive continuously variable transmission is provided having an input shaft, an output shaft, a continuously variable tilting ball planetary variator, a compound planetary gearset assembly having first, second, third, and fourth rotating elements, and a plurality of torque transmitting devices. The compound planetary gearset assembly has a simple single pinion gearset and a compound double pinion gearset, having fixedly connected planetary carriers and fixedly connected ring gears, creating a joint planetary gear carrier and joint ring gear. The outer planetary gears engage the ring gear which drives the output shaft. Selective torque transmitting devices include clutches and braking clutches.

1. A continuously variable transmission comprising: a stationary housing;an input shaft;an output shaft;a gearset having a first rotating element, a second rotating element, a third rotating element, and a fourth rotating element;a variator assembly having a first ring assembly and a second ring assembly;a first clutch capable of engaging the fourth rotating element to the stationary housing;a second clutch capable of engaging the input shaft to the second rotating element; anda third clutch capable of engaging the second rotating element to the stationary housing;whereinthe input shaft is fixedly connected with the first ring assembly, the second ring assembly is fixedly connected with the first rotating element,the output shaft is fixedly connected with the third rotating element, engagement of the first clutch establishes a first forward variable range within an overall transmission speed ratio,engagement of the second clutch establishes a second forward variable range within the overall transmission speed ratio,engagement of the third clutch establishes a reverse variable range within the overall transmission speed ratio, andthe variator controls a variable speed ratio between speeds of the first ring assembly and the second ring assembly, thereby adjusting the overall transmission speed ratio within any of the first forward variable range, the second forward variable range or the reverse variable range. 2. The transmission of claim 1, wherein the gearset is a compound planetary gearset, wherein the third rotating element is a ring gear,wherein the second rotating element is a carrier assembly rotatably supporting an outer set of long pinion gears meshing with the ring gear and an inner set of short pinion gears meshing with the outer set of long pinion gears,wherein the first rotating element is a first sun gear meshing with the outer set of long pinion gears, andwherein the fourth rotating element is a second sun gear meshing with said the inner set of short pinion gears. 3. The transmission of claim 1, wherein the gearset is a Ravigneaux compound planetary gearset. 4. The transmission of claim 1, wherein the variator assembly is a ball-type variator assembly comprising; a carrier assembly rotatably supporting a plurality of pivoting axles rotatably disposed about the transmission axis, the pivoting axles each rotatably supporting a ball;wherein the first ring assembly and the second ring assembly each comprising a ball contact area in continuous contact with each of the balls, andwherein the carrier assembly moves in a controlled fashion through a range of angles in order to cause the pivoting axles to change orientation, thus varying the variable speed ratio between the first ring assembly and the second ring assembly. 5. The transmission of claim 4, wherein, as the variable speed ratio increases, the overall transmission speed ratio within the first forward variable range increases;the overall transmission speed ratio within the second forward variable range decreases; andthe overall transmission speed ratio within the reverse variable range decreases. 6. The transmission of claim 5, wherein when the variable speed ratio is within a variable speed ratio range; the overall transmission speed ratio in the first forward variable range and the second forward variable range is the same;the second clutch can be synchronously engaged while in the first forward variable range;the first clutch can be synchronously engaged while in the second forward variable range; anda fixed-ratio transmission operating mode which transmits no power through the variator is established by simultaneous application of the first clutch and second clutch. 7. The transmission of claim 6, wherein said second clutch is a dog clutch. 8. The transmission of claim 1, further comprising a fourth clutch which selectably connects any two of the gearset's rotating elements, thus causing all of the rotating elements to rotate in unison, and establishing a third variable forward range. 9. The transmission of claim 8, wherein the fourth clutch is a dog clutch. 10. The transmission of claim 1, wherein the first clutch and the third clutch are braking clutches. 11. The transmission of claim 1 wherein the transmission is capable of being utilized in both front wheel drive and rear wheel drive vehicles. 12. The transmission of claim 1 wherein the variator comprises a traction fluid. 13. A vehicle comprising the transmission of claim 1. 14. A method comprising providing a vehicle comprising the transmission of claim 13.
