In a toroidal type continuous variable speed transmission, a control valve for displacing trunnions is controlled by supporting and fixing a precess cam at an end of a rod displaced together with one of the trunnions. Therefore, when the torque inputted to the toroidal type continuous variable speed transmission is greatly varied by the treading on or releasing of the accelerator, there is the risk that an unnecessary variation of the gear ratio invite an abrupt change in engine revolutions and a consequent uncomfortable feeling on the part of the driver. A tip of a link arm is brought into contact with the cam face of a precess cam, and the control valve is switched according to any variation of the trunnion. Further, the contact position between the cam face and the tip of the link arm is placed closer to the input side disk side. This configuration makes it possible to suppress the influence of elastic deformation of trunnions and to solve the problem noted above.
