ABSTRACT:
A continuously variable transmission has a continuously variable unit in the form of a variable belt drive and a pair of interconnected planetary gear sets arranged in differential drive relation between the transmission input shaft and the transmission output shaft. One of the planetary gear sets is connected with the input shaft, the output shaft and the output shaft of the belt drive. The other planetary gear set is connected with the input shaft, the output shaft and the input shaft of the belt drive. The overall transmission ratio is controlled between limits established in the continuously variable unit. The ratio is varied within a continuously variable range by varying the belt ratio.
