Abstract
A V-belt continuously variable transmission includes a primary pulley and a secondary pulley. The primary pulley is connected to an input shaft and the secondary pulley is connected to an output shaft. A V-belt is wrapped around the primary and secondary pulleys. When a speed ratio is to be increased: (a) the oil pressure supplied to the primary pulley is set to an oil pressure necessary for ensuring a torque capacity of the V-belt and for maintaining the speed ratio; and (b) the oil pressure supplied to the secondary pulley is set to an oil pressure that is higher than the oil pressure necessary for ensuring the torque capacity of the V-belt and for maintaining the speed ratio, thereby attaining a target speed change speed.
