Abstract
A variable speed gearing system includes two clutch units 30, 50 placed side by side in the axial direction and provides a plurality of transmission gear ratios in response to the state of engagement of clutches 31, 51 of the two clutch units 30, 50. Axially movable members 26a, 48a of the two clutch units 30, 50 are arranged in such a manner as to confront each other. A damper mechanism 60 is constituted by the combination of a piston member 62 provided on one of the confronting axially movable members 26a, 48a and a cylinder member 61 provided on the other thereof.
