CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION FOR VEHICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten lateral width, and make for compactness by employing a wet type multi-plate clutch and variable groove width pulleys. SOLUTION: This device is equipped with a first a shaft 11 inputting driving force, an output members 41 transmitting driving force to driving wheels, a second shaft 21 driving the output member, an input side pulley 15 having both a stationary pulley 16 and a movable pulley 17, which are mounted to the first shaft 11, and an output side pulley device 25 mounted on a second shaft 21 and provided with a stationary pulley 26 and a movable pulley 27 a transmission belt transmitting force between the pulleys, and with a clutch mechanism connected with the fist shaft or the second shaft. The clutch mechanism is a planetary gear system wet type multi-plate clutch mechanism, and a reversing piston 32 is disposed so as to be adjacent to the stationary pulley of the input side pulley device or the output side pulley device in the first or the second shaft.
