Abstract
A speed change mechanism ( ) constructed by connecting in tandem a hydraulic type speed change unit ( ) having a plurality of hydraulic clutches ( ) to be alternatively engaged and a hydraulic type speed change unit ( ) having a plurality of hydraulic clutches ( ) to be alternatively engaged, wherein a time-varying region (common slip region) is secured in which the two clutches slip in common such that during speed change, when the working hydraulic pressure in a clutch to be engaged is on its way to gradual increase, the working hydraulic pressure in a clutch to be disengaged lowers. This common slip region is made smaller during shift-down than during shift-up by a change in time-difference between the pressure increase start time for the clutch to be engaged and the pressure decrease start time for the clutch to be disengaged or by a change in the pressure decrease property of the clutch to be disengaged.
