OPERATION
A CVT is a Continuously Variable Transmission and functions to keep the engine RPM constant in the area of
maximum torque and/or efficiency.
The CVT consists of two variable diameter pulleys connected with a wide V-belt. The driver pulley mounted on the
engine has a set of internal weights; the weights move outwards as the engine RPM increases causing the pulleys
sliding sheave to move in effectively increasing its diameter. As the driver pulley diameter gets larger it pulls on the
belt causing the driven pulley sliding sheave to move out decreasing its diameter.
The CVT in Bigfoot is set up so that when the engine is at idle there is very little tension on the drive belt making it
act similar to a clutch partially disengaging the engine from the transaxle.
This section is one section of a complete service manual. Before starting any procedure, read all warnings and
instructions that are located in the Service Guidelines chapter.
