Abstract
A carrier is implemented which is capable of reducing the number of parts and the number of bonding steps. The carrier includes a pair of holding members that hold from both sides in an axial direction L a pinion shaft supporting a pinion gear. A first holding member as one of the pair of holding members includes a coupling portion extending in the axial direction L toward a second holding member as the other holding member. The second holding member is a disc-like member, and has an external outer peripheral gear integrally formed in its outer peripheral portion. The coupling portion is bonded to a coupling bonding portion provided on a radially inner side Rof the outer peripheral gear in the second holding member.
