Continuously Variable Transmission Quiz

What is the function of a continuously variable transmission?

• To lock the engine rigidly to the transmission input shaft

• To provide fixed gear ratios

• To change gear ratios smoothly

• To release the clutch completely

How is drive transmitted in a continuously variable transmission?

• By releasing the clutch completely

• By using a chain fashion

• By compressing the block elements

• By relying on tension in the band

What controls the clutch current in a continuously variable transmission?

• Vehicle operating conditions

• Transmission fluid pressure

• Transmission computer reacting to input data

• Engine speed

What is the function of the steel belt in a continuously variable transmission?

• To transmit drive by compressing the block elements

• To release the clutch completely

• To keep the blocks in contact with the pulley faces

• To guide the blocks

What is the function of the secondary pulley shaft in a continuously variable transmission?

• To provide a normal driving mode
