Abstract
A transmission equipped with torque converter having a forward/backward change valve for supplying working oil selectively to any one of a forward clutch or a backward clutch. A shock diverter valve is installed between the forward/backward change valve and a working oil supply source. The shock diverter valve is so designed as to include plural throttles having different bore diameters through which working oil is passed to reduce a rise speed of downsteam side hydraulic pressure. A lever for changing the shock diverter valve is installed at an outside of clutch. An operator can select a drive feeling easily from at least two kinds of feeling by operating a lever.
