Abstract

In a transmitting system for a small-sized vehicle in which a crankshaft and an input shaft of a transmission are connected to each other through a fluid transmitting device such as a torque converter. A primary reducing device, the fluid transmitting device and a shifting clutch are disposed on the crankshaft sequentially from one side of a crankcase supporting the crankshaft with a bearing interposed therebetween toward the outside, and the axial movements of the input member, the pump impeller and the turbine impeller on the crankshaft are restrained by the bearing and a nut threadedly fitted at a tip end of the crankshaft. Thus, a creep phenomenon of the fluid transmitting device can be eliminated by controlling the shifting clutch, and the shifting operation of the transmission can be conducted lightly. Moreover, the transmitting system is of a simple construction and improved in assemblability.
