Abstract
A planetary gear unit PR and a clutch Cfor outputting reduced speed rotation and a clutch Cfor connecting and disconnecting input of rotation of an input shaft to a sun gear Sare located on one axial side of a planetary gear unit PU, and a clutch Cfor connecting and disconnecting input of rotation of the input shaft to the carrier CRis located on the axially opposite of the planetary gear unit PU. By doing so, as compared to a case wherein, for example, a clutch Cand clutch Care both located between a pair of planetary gear units PR and PU, the planetary gear units PR and PU can be located more closely together, and the member that transmits the reduced speed rotation from planetary gear unit PR to planetary gear unit PU can be made shorter. Further, compared to the case wherein, for example, the clutches CCCare located on one axial side of the planetary gear units, the construction of the oil lines is simplified.
