Abstract
A continuously variable transmission has: an input shaft, an output shaft, a toroidal type continuously variable transmission, and a planetary gear mechanism including a sun gear, a ring gear and a planetary gear. The power transmitted to first and second power transmission systems is made to converge to two gears of the planetary gear mechanism, and a remaining gear is coupled with the output shaft. A mode changeover device effects a changeover between, during forward movement, a first mode for a low speed side, which utilizes the first power transmission system and a second mode for a high speed side, which utilizes the first and second power transmission systems. Such changeover is effected by the operation of connecting and disconnecting a first mode clutch and a second mode clutch. The operation of effecting the changeover between the first mode and the second mode is effected in 0.2 to 1 second.
