Abstract: In a belt continuously-variable transmission, a casing or a housing is formed with an air communicating hole extending through an upper part of the casing or the housing. The casing and the housing include inner walls defining an air breather chamber and communicating parts. The air breather chamber is defined in a region located above a joint between the casing and the housing and ranging from an upper side of the second shaft to an upper side of the first shaft and between the second shaft and the first shaft. The communicating parts are defined at a position in the upper side of the first shaft and at a position between the second shaft and the first shaft. The air breather chamber communicates with open air via the air communicating hole, and communicates with an inside part of a casing assembly via each of the communicating parts.

Abstract: First and second oil flow passages are defined in a wall portion of a transmission casing. The first oil flow passage has an open end exposed to an interior of the casing. The second oil passage is connected to the first oil passage through a connection opening defined by the first oil passage. A separate pipe member has a predetermined end portion that is inserted into the first oil passage from the open end of the same. The predetermined end portion comprises a cylindrical portion having a fixed length; an end opening defined by an end of the cylindrical portion and exposed to the first oil passage; and an orifice opening defined by a side wall of the cylindrical portion. The orifice opening is blocked by an inner wall of the first oil passage when the connection opening takes a first position relative to the open end of the first oil passage, and exposed to the second oil passage when the connection opening takes a second position relative to the open end of the first oil passage.

Abstract: An oil discharge structure of a baffle plate for discharging oil from a space of a gear side to a space of a transmission side with a space-saving design is provided. A slit is formed in a side face plate facing a final gear of a case side baffle plate to discharge the oil from an oil volume X in the circumference of the final gear to an oil volume Y stored in a clearance between the case side baffle plate and the transmission case, and in a clearance between the housing side baffle plate and the housing. This provides a compact structure that is not larger in a radial direction of the final gear and discharges the oil in the oil volume X.

Abstract: There is provided an oil separating structure of an automatic transmission, which makes it difficult for an oil strainer of an oil pump to draw oil containing air bubbles. A baffle plate base separates a space around the oil strainer and a space around a driven sprocket as well as a final gear, and therefore, oil containing air bubbles formed as a result of agitation by the driven sprocket, chain, and final gear does not flow directly into the oil strainer. As a result, the oil strainer is unlikely to draw oil containing air bubbles.

Abstract: A belt-type continuously-variable transmission includes a casing enclosing a primary pulley, a secondary pulley, a belt connecting the pulleys and a parking gear; and a side cover subassembly including a side cover joined to the casing. The side cover assembly further includes a parking pawl arranged to engage with the parking gear, a support member arranged to support the parking pawl; and a return spring.

Abstract: A large diameter part is formed in a case-side oil passage, an O-ring is fitted into the large diameter part, and an oil pump is installed to the transmission case by adjusting a discharge hole thereof and the case-side oil passage in alignment with each other. A notch is formed in radial direction from an inner peripheral surface of the large diameter part to an outer peripheral surface of a seat part. When the discharge hole and the case-side oil passage are communicated without the O-ring in the large diameter part, an oil passing through the discharge hole leaks from the notch. Thus in a state the O-ring is not assembled, an oil pressure is not increased by positively leaking the oil through the notch, whereby it can be easily detected that the O-ring is not assembled by mistake.

Abstract: There is provided a baffle plate which conforms to the shape of the inner peripheral surface of a transmission case and can be easily brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the transmission case, making it easier to design and manufacture the baffle plate. Rubber plates are arranged on a side of the baffle plate in proximity to the bottom wall of the transmission case. The baffle plate encloses both sides of the rotating surface of the driven sprocket. Therefore, even if the inner peripheral surface of the bottom wall of the transmission case has a complex shape, the side of the baffle plate in proximity to the case bottom wall can be closely attached to the inner peripheral surface of the transmission case. And, the baffle plate can be easily designed and manufactured. Also, oil agitating resistance during rotation of the driven sprocket can be reduced.

Abstract: An oil cooling and filtering system of a transmission is described which comprises first and second oil passages formed in a given portion of a housing of the transmission. The given portion has an outer surface exposed to the outside of the housing. The first oil passage is fed with a compressed lubricating oil from an oil compressing means and the second oil passage is led to moving parts of the transmission which are to be lubricated. An oil cooler is connected to the outer surface of the given portion. The oil cooler includes a water flow passage and an oil flow passage which are isolated from each other. The oil flow passage has an inlet opening connected to the first oil passage and an outlet opening connected to the second oil passage. An oil filter is installed in at least one one of the first and second oil passages for filtering the lubricating oil flowing in the oil passage. With this arrangement, the oil cooler can be compact in size and simple in construction.
