CVT question

Ha! That's how I know them well too; many years of dicking around with performance clutch kits on sleds. I have some delrin washers sitting on my work bench now waiting to be installed on my sled when I get some motivation.

 

Team secondary i presume.

 

Yeah, its the stock Cat one so it's the cheaper Cat version of the Team clutch.

 

How do you know he has a 6 speed automatic?

 

It is the only AT available for any 3rd Gen.

 

His bio says 07

but this is a solid shit post so i guess it belongs in the 3rd gen sub forum.

 

Nice. Perfect Dumbgeon accidental trolling?

 

He thinks he also has a CVT...Doubt he knows he has a 2nd gen. Check out the sig line ;-)

 

Good catch. I was still cornfused until @coopcooper speeled it out.


So much wrong that it's right? Or not.

 

uuuuuuuh what? you must live somewhere flat.

 

Far from it... however, unless there's extenuating circumstances (snow, towing a large load, bored), I don't try to shift for my "automatic" transmission.

However, beyond that... my "advice" to the OP was don't fuck with it, especially if you don't know what you're doing. And if you think you have a CVT, then you clearly have no idea what you're doing.

 

Real Question: What are some of the circumstances when you shift for yourself rather than let the auto do it?

 

Don't give them any ideas man.

 

better traction offroad with the flexy frame.... lol

 

down grades to slow down, off road, towing, hooning, everyday life.

The usual stuff

 

My Taco is an MT but in my Silverado which is an auto I only downshift manually when going-down long grades, generally when towing.

For un-loaded, everyday driving I throw it in 'D' and go.

 

Swap it out for the tied, big difference.

 

Take your CVT out and swap it for a 6 speed straight cut manual. I did this and it runs soooooo much better!

 

Great! All u guys did was help refine the bot. Now it's gonna be way smarter next time!

 

I have played inside a lot of constant variable transmissions . Not fun at all lol . As basic as they may seem , the parts involved to fix them are very pricey . A highly modified snowmobile clutch can describe it best using a steel belt rather than a rubber belt .
Iron filings are used in place of transmission fluid within the torque converter to drive the input shaft .
The iron filings inside the magnetic torque converter magnetize and begin driving the car in forward or reverse .
There are no steps in upshifting or downshifting because the secondary clutch uses a ramp clutch just like a modern snowmobile
