ABSTRACT:
A continuously variable automotive transmission includes a fluid torque converter adapted to be connected to an engine and having a turbine shaft, a single driver gear or two driver gears fixedly mounted on the turbine shaft, and a V-belt continuously variable transmission mechanism. The V-belt continuously variable transmission mechanism comprises a driver pulley mounted on a driver shaft parallel to the turbine shaft, a driven pulley mounted on a driven shaft parallel to the turbine shaft, a V belt trained around the driver and driven pulleys, a forward gear rotatably mounted on the driver shaft and held in mesh with the single driver gear or one of the two driver gears, a foward clutch mounted on the driver shaft for selectively connecting and disconnecting the forward gear to and from the driver shaft, a reverse gear rotatably mounted on the driven shaft and held in mesh with the single driver gear or the other of the two driver gears through an idler gear, and a reverse clutch mounted on the driven shaft for selectively connecting and disconnecting the reverse gear to and from the driven shaft.
