the tension in the belt prevents slippage, just like the drive belts in your engine that drive the power steering/air conditioning pumps...the steel belt is made up of "elements" joined together and they have edges on them them are carefully engineered to fit the profile of the pulleys very accurately and give a positive drive.

Most important question. Can CVT hold more power from tuned engine

@waltibaba yeah, i know right!? i want manual cvt, with shifter that just goes backward and forward, infinitely!

wow i learned ALOT

Good info... thnks to the uploader..=)

can i only change the fluid of the cvt of my outlander, not is necessary program nothing in the computer of the auto? because does not have the scantool

where is the cvt fluid filter at this Lancer ??

My Lancer ES is making a very loud noise while im driving it, it sounds like when the power steering pump is malfunctioning, but its not, the sound gets louder when i accelerate it, dont tell me to take it to the warranty because they told me that i wouldnt apply because i didnt make the "oil transmission change" at 30 k and 60 k miles that is scheduled on the car manual, i didnt have the car back then, it has 78 k now. Is it really a transmission problem or another thing??

goooooood information

@godzillat6 Is this like a snowmobile transmission but more advanced??

Jatco makes this CVT transaxle, and it makes too the one for the dodge caliber and Jatco is nissan so nissan cvts might be simmilar!! and I heard in the video "if any malfunction occurs in the belt puley section a replacement of the whole transaxle is required " so CVTs are disposable like regular Transmissions that don't have dipstic ZF, some GM and otehrs I say disposable because the driver cant read the fluid level or condition of the ATF so it just drives it until i a total loss of drive.

@naidorm they give you the option to buy a manual... so grow a pair and buy 1

why can have paddle shift n sports mode ? CVT just have one gear ???

Soo confusion. Hope this new cvt transmission work well.

why does this cvt get so hot, and then you have to lose a lot of time waiting for it to get cold??? that issue has everybody with a lancer dissapointed!! it doesn´t work that good! what can people with this big problem do??

they need to createa 3rd kinda transmission or sumthin cuz autoimatuc and manuel is boring now. they could make sumthin like a combo where its a manuel autoimatic. where like the shifter thing is set like a manuel so it give u that feel but when you shift the transsmission automatically changes to that gear for you. sumthin different

Well you could make pain in the ass transmissions that you can't repair, or you could have an unboltable one. I would rather be replacing a worn belt than an entire transaxle.

transaxle

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMFAO
