Abstract

In a toroidal type infinitely variable automatic transmission comprising an oil pump mounted on a transmission case, first and second toroidal transmission mechanisms disposed within the case and having input and output disks for transmitting a rotational force through a tiltable friction roller, a forward and backward change-over mechanism positioned between the transmission mechanism and the oil pump and disposed within the case, for changing over between forward and backward operations of the transmission mechanism through a planetary gear mechanism by manipulation of forward and backward clutches, and a supporting wall positioned between the forward and backward change-over mechanism and the transmission mechanism and disposed within the case, for receiving a thrust force exerted towards a transmission mechanism side by the planetary gear mechanism, an extension member is provided on a side portion of the oil pump to extend within the case towards a transmission mechanism side, and the supporting wall is mounted on the extension member at a position opposing to a carrier plate of the planetary gear mechanism.
