In the paper herein we treat some problems concerning the met- ric structure on the 2-tangent bundle: T2M: We determine the set of all metric semi-symmetric N-linear connections, in the case when the nonlinear connection N is fixed. We prove that the sets: TN of the transformations of N-linear connection having the same nonlinear con- nections N and ms T N of the transformations of metric semi-symmetric N-linear connections, having the same nonlinear connection N, together with the composition of mappings are groups. We obtain some impor- tant invariants of the group ms T N and we give their properties. We also study the transformation laws of the torsion and curvature d-tensor fields, with respect to the transformations of the groups TN and ms T N.
