Control valve assembly of traction drive transmission

A traction drive transmission comprising:

• a forward reverse change-over mechanism;
• a traction drive system drivingly connected to said forward reverse change-over mechanism;
• a valve body formed with a first valve bore and a second valve bore;
• a forward shift control valve operatively connected to said traction drive system, said forward shift control valve including a first valve element slidably disposed in said first valve bore;
• an actuator mounted on said mount site and drivingly connected to said first valve element;
• and
• a reverse ratio valve operatively connected to said traction drive system, said reverse ratio valve including a second valve element slidably disposed in said second valve bore, said second valve element being out of drive connection with said actuator.

A continuously variable transmission comprising:

• a forward reverse change-over mechanism;
• a continuously variable drive system drivingly connected to said forward reverse change-over mechanism;
• a valve body formed with a first valve bore and a second valve bore;
• a forward shift control valve operatively connected to said continuously variable drive system, said forward shift control valve including a first valve element slidably disposed in said first valve bore;
• an actuator mounted on said mount site and drivingly connected to said first valve element;
• and
• a reverse ratio valve operatively connected to said continuously variable drive system, said reverse ratio valve including a second valve element slidably disposed in said second valve bore, said second valve element being out of drive connection with said actuator.
