Abstract:
1. A continuously variable transmission including two pulleys each having a rotary shaft and a pair of sheaves, each sheave having a side face and a tapered face so that two tapered faces are opposed to each other to define a V-shaped groove, and an endless flexible member looped over the two pulleys, the continuously variable transmission varying a transmission ratio between the pulleys by varying a distance between the sheaves in each pair, the continuously variable transmission comprising: a vibration damping member that is in contact, under pressure, with an outer peripheral face of the sheave to which the vibration damping member is fitted, the outer peripheral face extending from one end of the side face such that the outer peripheral face is located outside of the side face in a radial direction, the side face extending in a direction substantially parallel to the radial direction, wherein at least one of the sheaves is provided with the vibration damping member.
