<p>A starting apparatus (12) is formed by a torque converter (15) provided between an engine (A) and a continuously variable transmission (3). A forward and reverse changeover apparatus (16) is formed by a double pinion type planetary gear. A reverse brake (19) is disposed around a ring gear of the planetary gear and a forward clutch (20) is mounted around the reverse brake (19). A lock-up clutch (21) is provided near the forward clutch (20). A torque converter case (14) encloses the torque converter (15), the forward and reverse changeover apparatus (16), the reverse brake (19), the forward clutch (20) and the lock-up clutch (21). Since the forward and reverse changeover apparatus (16), the reverse brake (19) and the forward clutch (20) are nested the overall width of the continuously variable automatic transmission can be minimised and the number of components can be reduced. <IMAGE></p> |
