CVT System
This vehicle has a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
system that utilizes a drive belt and clutch pulleys to automatically
vary transmission drive ratios, allowing infinite variability between
the highest and lowest vehicle speeds with no discrete steps or
shifts. The CVT system consists of a primary clutch
1
, which is an
advanced form of centrifugal clutch that is mounted to the engine
crankshaft
A
. If equipped, the primary clutch may also contain a
one-way bearing that creates an engine braking feature to slow the
vehicle without having to use the brakes.
The secondary clutch
2
is mounted to the input shaft of the
transmission
B
and serves two functions; As a “slave” pulley to the
primary clutch, and to provide a torque sensing element that shifts
drive ratios.
The drive belt
3
is a heavy duty V-belt that connects the engine
and transmission clutch pulleys.
A CVT housing and cover encloses the clutches and belt assembly.
There are inlet and outlet cooling ducts that route air to cool the
components, and they should be regularly inspected.
The CVT components do not contain any user maintenance items.
