摘要： A sleeve 28 making up a gear ratio control valve 21 is driven by not only a stepping motor 29 but also a secondary actuator 47. Pressure oil is made free to be introduced into the secondary actuator 47 through a manual oil pressure switching valve 37 which is switched over by a gearshift. Then, when the gearshift is operated from a non-running state to a running state, a gear ratio of a toroidal type continuously variable transmission is corrected by a predetermined amount by driving the sleeve 28 by means of the secondary actuator 47. As a result, while improving characteristic of a vehicle when starting from rest, the vehicle can be prevented from being reduced in speed unintentionally excessively even when the gearshift is operated while running.

摘要： In a toroidal type continuously variable transmission, first pivot shafts provided on both ends of first trunnions are supported within support holes formed in yokes secured to an inner surface of a casing. The support portions are provided with ball splines and radial needle bearings. During operation, loads acting on the first trunnions are canceled within the yokes. Axial displacements and rocking displacements of the first trunnions are effected smoothly by the ball splines and the radial needle bearings.

摘要： In the toroidal-type continuously variable transmission, the torque transmission shaft 15 includes a flange portion 29a formed in one end thereof, while a securing portion 43 is formed in the end-face side half section of the flange portion 29a so as to be able to secure a tool thereto when tightly fastening a loading nut 19 to a external thread portion 40 formed in the torque transmission shaft 15. And, the outer peripheral surface of the securing portion 43 is formed as a polygonally cylindrical shape having four or more flat surfaces. Also, after the torque transmission shaft 15 is heat-carburized and the surface of a cylindrical portion 44 formed in the torque transmission shaft 15 is removed, the external thread portion 40 is worked, which makes it possible not only to secure the hardness of the adjoining portions of the external thread portion 40 but also to control the hardness of the external thread portion 40 itself. Further, branch oil supply passages 39 and 39 used to supply oil to ball splines 17 and 17 are formed at the positions of the torque transmission shaft 15 that are shifted in the axial direction of the torque transmission shaft 15 from the positions of balls 37, 37, which respectively construct the ball splines 17 and 17.
