    摘要: A pump operation piston biased by a neutral spring mechanism and a larger volume operation spring biased by a larger volume operation spring in a larger volume direction operatively move pump and motor volume adjusting members, respectively, is provided. A first pressure control valve commonly controls supply-discharge of pressure oil that presses the pump operation piston in a first slide direction and the motor operation piston in a smaller volume direction. A second pressure control valve controls supply-discharge of pressure oil that presses the pump operation piston in a second slide direction. Biasing forces of the neutral spring mechanism and the larger volume operation spring are so set that, after the pump operation piston is moved in the first slide direction by a predetermined distance, the motor operation piston starts moving.

    摘要: A differential gear includes a holder which is provided between first and second pinion gears in a differential case and through which a differential pinion shaft is inserted. An insertion hole is radially formed in the differential pinion shaft. The holder is formed with a fixing hole facing the insertion hole when the differential pinion shaft is inserted through the holder. Due to insertion of a fixing pin through the fixing hole and the insertion hole, the differential pinion shaft and the holder are relatively non-rotatable. Due to the holder being held between first and second side gears, relative rotation of the holder with respect to the differential case is restricted, and the differential pinion shaft is non-rotatable relative to the differential case.

    摘要: A portal unit is provided. The portal unit includes a deceleration gear train and a housing. The housing includes an inner side wall that is formed with an input opening at a position above a rotation axial line of a driving wheel, an outer side wall that is formed with an output opening at a coaxial position with the rotation axial line of the driving wheel, and an intermediate wall that connects peripheral edges of the inner side wall and the outer side wall. The inner side wall is provided, at a radially outward position of the input opening, with mount bolts for the suspension unit. The mount bolts each include a shaft portion protruding inwardly in a vehicle width direction.

    摘要: A movable structure driving unit is a movable structure driving unit used for a movable structure, including: an electric motor that is electrically connected to a power supply and that drives a front wheel; a rear-side motive power source that drives a rear wheel; a jump detector that detects a jump of the front wheel from ground; and a motor controller that controls driving of the electric motor. The motor controller stops supply of a driving current from the power supply to the electric motor when the jump of the front wheel from the ground is detected in a state in which driving of the front wheel and the rear wheel is instructed.

    摘要: A fork guide groove of a drum member guides a shift fork so that a shifter member is in a reference position not engaged with first and second speed change members when the drum member is placed in a neutral position, is movable between a first speed-change position engaged with the first speed-change member and the reference position when the drum member is placed in a first operational position, and is movable between a second speed-change position engaged with the second speed-change member and the reference position when the drum member is placed in a second operational position. A slider guide groove of the drum member guides a slider member supported by a fork shaft in an axially movable manner so as not to obstruct movement of the shifter member between the reference position and the first speed-change position when the drum member is placed in the first operational position.
