What is the actual lifespan of a Mitsubishi CVT transmission?
1 Answers
The lifespan of a Mitsubishi CVT transmission can reach up to 300,000 kilometers. Principle of CVT transmission: It mainly consists of two conical pulleys and a steel belt or chain. The two conical pulleys can be tightened and loosened by an electronically controlled hydraulic device, changing the diameter of the steel belt wrapped around the pulleys to achieve the purpose of altering the transmission ratio. During startup, the driving pulley has the smallest diameter, while the driven pulley has the largest diameter. At high speeds, the driving pulley's diameter increases, and the driven pulley's diameter decreases. The entire process of diameter adjustment is controlled by a computer, enabling stepless adjustment and continuously variable transmission. Advantages of CVT transmission: Since the CVT transmission has no mechanical gears, the driving process is very smooth with almost no noticeable jerks. The CVT has fewer components, only a few hundred, which contributes to its higher reliability.
