Abstract
A secondary sheave shaft of a transmission is disposed vertically higher than a drive shaft when viewed along the axial direction of the shafts. An idle shaft of a speed-reduction mechanism is disposed between a primary sheave and an imaginary plane that extends through an axis of rotation of the secondary sheave shaft and an axis of rotation of the drive shaft. The drive shaft is disposed inside a profile of a transmission case when viewed along the axial direction of the secondary sheave shaft and the drive shaft.
