A family of multi-speed planetary transmissions has three planetary gearsets each with three planetary members and five torque-transmitting mechanisms. The transmission also has two interconnecting members, one of which interconnects a member of each of the planetary gearsets, and the other of which interconnects two members of the planetary gearsets. All of the transmission family members include one member continuously connected with a stationary member or transmission housing. In each family member, the input shaft of the transmission is selectively connectible with the planetary gearsets through three of the torque-transmitting mechanisms. The output shaft of the transmission is continuously connected with at least one member of the planetary gearset. The torque-transmitting mechanisms are selectively engaged in combinations of two to establish at least six forward speed ratios and one reverse speed ratio.
