Abstract:
A CVT clutch is provided. A fixed sheave of the CVT clutch is statically mounted on an end of the post. A movable sheave assembly is dynamically mounted on the post. The movable sheave includes a recess cavity that is defined by a movable sheave housing. A spider is statically mounted on the post within the recess cavity of the movable sheave assembly. At least one interchangeable ramp is positioned within the recess cavity so that at least one space is provided between the at least one interchangeable ramp and a sheave face of the movable sheave housing. An engagement member is positioned to engage an associated interchangeable ramp and the spider. A main bias member is configured to assert a bias force on the spider and cover to position each engagement member at a select location on the associated interchangeable ramp when a countering force is not present.
