A transmission system includes an input that is operable to receive torque, and a multi-speed gear train including a final output for transferring torque to a final drive. A clutch interconnects the input and the multi-speed gear train. When disposed in an engaged position, the clutch connects the input and the final output in torque communication therebetween. When disposed in a disengaged position, the clutch disconnects torque communication between the input and the final output. A dual planetary torque transfer device, which includes a pair of planetary gear trains coupled together, and interconnects the input and the final output. The dual planetary torque transfer device is disposed in a parallel relationship with the clutch, between the input and the final output. The dual planetary torque transfer device transfers torque between the input and the final output when the clutch is disposed in the disengaged position.
