Abstract
A supporting mechanism for a transmission shaft in an automatic transmission apparatus for use in a vehicle, wherein said shaft is rotatably supported at both end portions (1A), (1C) and at the intermediate portion (1B), and the amount of play of said shaft at said intermediate portion is set greater than those at the end portions, with a view to preventing oscillation of the shaft at the intermediate portion between the supporting points and favorably overcoming difficulty in assembly work, e.g., centering associated with supporting at three points. A supporting mechanism for supporting a transmission shaft in an automatic transmission apparatus for use in a vehicle, comprising an input-side transmission shaft (14) and an output shaft (1) arranged coaxially in series with said input-side transmission shaft (14), wherein said output shaft (1) is rotatably supported through the rear end of said input-side transmission shaft (14) by a transmission case at its input-side end and is rotatably supported by the transmission case at its output-side end, with a view to favorably preventing oscillation at the input-side end of the output shaft and shortening the axial length of the entire t…
