A precession modulated variable differential transmission having a transfer assembly interposed between a rotational input and output. The continuously variable differential transmission utilizes dampers to induce and control the gyrational and rotational motion of a precessing plate. A core group of elements of the transfer assembly include an axial array of dampers peripherally arranged to engage a swash plate in a torsionally rigid manner. Torque is transmitted via the swash plate to an abutment plate within the transfer case. This differential arrangement produced by interposing the damper array between the input and output results in a swash plate that exhibits the motion of a gyroscope. Its rotational speed is dictated by the prime mover while the gyration component, rotating in the same direction, is modulated by the dampers. As the gyration component alone, is translated to the transfer case, and hence the output, the relationship between the rotating moment and the gyrating moment determines the reduction ratio, and is regulated by controlling the damping rate of the damper array.
