OK My first CVT trans and I should have done a little research I suppose since now that i have it, it's bugging me that I don't know enough about it.
I understand it's ran with the Steel V-belt sprayed with CVT trans oil, how it expands in low gear I understand the jisst as in don't floor it on a hill on a dead stop or your asking for trouble lol.

Anyway my main questions are
1.) Can you replace the belt if it fails. If so what is the belt listed under can't seem to find it...

2.) Changing the fluid I'm guessing its a Eyeball deal because i don't see a dip stick....or plug for the matter but i haven't took to much time into searching for them either i suppose, well the plug at least.


Any information on the CVT is appreciated THANKS!!!

Belt is not user replaceable. It has to be factory rebuilt. Filler/dipstick tube is located under the battery/air intake cover. There is a sticky thread in General Discussions on the CVT operation.
