PURPOSE:To eliminate lack of rigidity owing to a neck of the housing and to make a transmission in small size by protruding the output shaft of the transmission to the clutch side and installing a center brake device in the clutch housing. CONSTITUTION:A center brake device 8 is installed at the output shaft 2 of the transmission and arranged in the housing 7 (housing for torque converter 3). When the output shaft 2 is rotated, an aie flow is generated outside the brake drum 804 and the hub 802 of center brake device 8 to produce wind in the housing 7. The wind will cool the torque converter 3 and also promote ventilation. Accordingly, the housing need not be provided with a neck to avoid interference with the brake 8, that will ensure the stiffness. Because the distance between the input and output shafts can be lessened, the transmission can be made in small size. |
