ABSTRACT:
A power transmission mechanism for automotive vehicles comprises a variable displacement engine which can be selectively shifted from the driving with all cylinders to the driving with a limited number of cylinders by changing the number of cylinders in operation. A torque transmission is interposed between an output shaft and a driven shaft of the engine which can selectively use either a fluid coupling or a direct coupling. A control unit selects the driving state of the variable displacement engine and a coupling of the torque transmission depending on the driving ranges of the variable displacement engine as well as the automotive vehicle.
