Abstract
A toroidal type continuously variable transmission mechanism is mounted on a transmission input shaft coaxially therewith and joined thereto, and a first power transmission mechanism is provided between the input shaft and a transmission countershaft. A single-pinion type planetary gear mechanism is mounted on a transmission output shaft coaxially therewith, and a second power transmission mechanism is provided between driven discs of the continuously variable transmission mechanism and planetary gear mechanism. A torque-split clutch for engaging and disengaging a carrier of the planetary gear mechanism and countershaft with and from each other, a reversing brake for fixedly holding the carrier, and a starting clutch for engaging and disengaging a sun gear and output shaft with and from each other. A driving gear, which is held firmly between the driven discs, and a driven gear form the second power transmission mechanism, and a ring gear is joined to the output shaft.
