The present invention provides an automatic transmission having a main
bearing disposed between the inner surface of a boss portion of a first
drum and the outer surface of a cylindrical support, for rotatably
supporting the first drum. An auxiliary bearing is press-fit into one end
of the interior of the boss portion of the first drum and surrounds the
cylindrical support with an annular gap therebetween. The auxiliary
bearing contacts the cylindrical support only when the first drum tilts
relative to the central axis of the transmission, and has a shorter axial
length than that of the main bearing.
