<p>The invention is about a cage (1589- Fig.22 ) for facilitating the support and guidance of a traction roller assembly in a continuously variable transmission. First and second cage discs (1586,1587- Fig.22 ) are positioned such that a first plurality of radial grooves (2202- Fig.22 ) on the first cage disc (1586- Fig.22 ) is angularly offset relative to the second plurality of radial grooves (2202- Fig.22 ) on the second cage disc (1587- Fig.22 ).</p>
