Does a CVT Transmission Have Gears?
1 Answers
CVT transmissions do not have gears. A CVT transmission is a type of automotive transmission, also known as a continuously variable transmission. Its working principle is as follows: in a CVT drive system, traditional gears are replaced by a pair of pulleys and a steel belt. Each pulley consists of a V-shaped structure formed by two conical discs. The engine shaft is connected to the smaller pulley, which drives the larger pulley via the steel belt. The maintenance methods for a CVT transmission are: 1. Check the quality and quantity of the CVT fluid at intervals specified by the manufacturer; 2. Regularly replace the fluid with products that meet the manufacturer's specifications; 3. Have the CVT transmission serviced at a professional repair facility.
