Abstract
A continuously variable speed transmission in which a bypass line is formed between two hydraulic lines disposed between a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor to constitute a hydraulic closed circuit, and a opening control valve is disposed to open or close the bypass line. The opening control valve is opened when the reduction rate of the engine speed or the vehicle speed exceeds a given in order to short-cut the two lines and create a neutral condition.
