Abstract

A compact transmission includes a reliable wet brake, which is disposed in a brake chamber formed on an outer surface of a sidewall of a housing of the transmission. Engine power is transmitted through a continuously variable transmission to an input shaft of the transmission. An intermediate shaft is drivingly connected to the input shaft through a reversing mechanism for changing the traveling direction of the vehicle. An axle is drivingly connected to the intermediate shaft through a deceleration gear train. The intermediate shaft is provided thereon with the reversing mechanism and a pinion of the deceleration gear train, and projects through the brake chamber so as to be provided thereon with the wet brake. Fluid in the housing is splashed by a gear of the deceleration gear train so as to flow into the brake chamber, and is returned into the housing.
