ABSTRACT:
A power transmission system for vehicles comprising a driving member connected to a crankshaft of an engine and a driven member connected to a driving wheel, the driving and driven members being connected together via a one-way clutch, a friction clutch and a direct-coupling clutch, which are disposed parallel to one another. The one-way clutch is adapted to transmit power only from the driving member to the driven member. The friction clutch is adapted to frictionally connect the driving and driven members together when it receives a rotary torque at not more than a predetermined level whereas it is slipped when the rotary torque has exceeded a predetermined level. The direct-coupling clutch is normally maintained in a connected state but it is put in a disconnected state when the speed of revolution of the engine has exceeded a predetermined level.
