A device for adjusting and holding the length of a Bowden cable includes a supporting sleeve, which supports a sheath end-piece for axial sliding movement but prevents rotation. External threads formed on the outer surface of the sheath end-piece are engaged by corresponding teeth on the inner surface of a locking sleeve, which is rotated about the longitudinal axis of the device to engage and disengage the teeth. A ribbed actuating sleeve engages cogs on the outer surface of the locking sleeve to facilitate rotation. When the teeth are engaged, the length of the cable is releasably fixed.

A continually variable cone-pulley, belt-drive transmission includes a primary shaft having a cone-pulley arrangement actuated by a pressure servo, a secondary shaft driven by an endless belt having a cone-pulley, actuated by a second pressure servo. Spring assemblies located in the pressure servo preload compression springs. Each spring assembly includes a compression spring located in spring-receiving rings, a cup-shaped support ring, and a guide ring comprising a peg-shaped spring guide. Preload on the compression springs is released during the first complete movement of the cone-pulley assembly by loading a locking and unlocking pin.
