A transmission in which the input and output shafts are coupled by a fluid drive which is pressurized by eccentrically driven pumps, the variable speed fluid coupling being effective until a particular rotational speed is reached, at which speed the drive is positively locked. Means is also provided for locking the driven selectively at any speed. The transmission can be shifted between forward and reverse positions, and the shift mechanism incorporates braking means to facilitate gear engagement, and locking means operable in a stopped position, the arrangement being particularly adaptable to automotive vehicles.
