Patent ID: 8118697

Claim:
A transmission and transmission control comprising: a continuously variable transmission comprising a first sheave and a second sheave, a flexible member connecting the second sheave to the first sheave such that rotation of the first sheave causes rotation of the second sheave, a continuously variable transmission output shaft being connected to the second sheave; a planetary transmission comprising an input shaft, the input shaft of the planetary transmission being connected for rotation with the continuously variable transmission output shaft, the planetary transmission input shaft being connected to a planetary transmission output shaft; a motor driving a first pump and a second pump; the first pump being fluidly connected to the first sheave and the second sheave, the first pump also being fluidly connected to a pressure relief valve, the pressure relief valve being connected to a flexible member lubrication conduit such that bypass flow from the pressure relief valve can be directed to the flexible member of the continuously variable transmission; and the second pump being fluidly connected to a valve, the valve being selectively fluidly connected to the first sheave and the second sheave such that fluid can be supplied through the valve to the first and second sheave to effect ratio changes, the second pump comprising a pump case drain, the pump case drain being fluidly connected to the planetary transmission to supply fluid to gears of the planetary transmission.
