What is CVT? CVT stands for continuously variable transmission. The major components of the CVT system are driving pulley, driven pulley, CVT belt. It provides the infinity number of gear ratios within a particular range of ratios. How CVT works? While a traditional transmission uses a wide variety of intricate parts to shift between ranges of present gears, most CVT systems work through a pulley system. In short, this system consists of cones at each pulley connected via a chain belt. The cones can move to increase or decrease the belt diameter to change gear ratios, allow for quick shifting into the needed ratio for increased power, and boost fuel economy. One pulley in the CVT is connected to the engine and the other directs power to the wheels. The width of these pulleys changes based on the needed power; as one gets larger, the other gets smaller. There is a second, less common, type of CVT that uses a series of discs and rollers, but it operates on similar p...
I considered nothing is more in the brakes department if you are going to use an OEM caliper. In Baja vehicles, the hydraulic braking system is used. Please don't consider drum brakes. There is no sense to use drum brakes in Baja vehicles because it is heavy, big and also driver needs more force for actuating the brakes. Hydraulic disc brake good efficient to use for Baja vehicle because it is lighter in weight, compact in size no more force required by the driver. In this type of Braking System incompressible fluid is used to actuate brakes, this fluid is called brakes fluid . Types of brakes fluids available DOT3 DOT4 DOT5 DOT3 and DOT4 are glycol-based fluids. DOT5 is silicon-based fluid. The simple difference is DOT3 and DOT4 absorb water while DOT5 doesn't. And the main point on which brake fluid is decided is its boiling point . There are two types of brake calipers used in Baja vehicles. 1. Floating caliper 2. Fixed caliper F...
