Abstract

A hydraulic control system for a continuously variable traction roller transmission comprises a shift control valve for controlling hydraulic pressure within a hydraulic cylinder apparatus. The shift control valve includes a sleeve and a spool received therein for relative motion, which assume a normal state when a gear ratio commanded corresponds to a rotational displacement of rotation shanks of roller support members wherein the hydraulic cylinder apparatus provides a predetermined force to the rotation shanks in an axial direction thereof so as to preserve a rotational displacement of the rotation shanks. The sleeve has a plurality of bores for discharging hydraulic fluid to be supplied to the hydraulic cylinder apparatus. The bores are fluidly communicated when a relative displacement between the sleeve and the spool with regard to the normal state is greater than a predetermined value, whereas the bores fail to be fluidly communicated when the relative displacement is smaller than the predetermined value.
