210 Chrysler

CVT2
Introduction
The Chrysler CVT belt is used to “PUSH” the driven pulley driving the final drive/output.
The position of the pulleys is monitored and controlled with the use of a valvebody and
solenoids and pressure sensors.

The Chrysler CVT uses a lock up torque converter that during idle and acceleration from
a stop, multiplies torque through about 12 mph and then fully locks up driving the input
to the pulleys. This design allows optimal driving force in response to the accelerator pedal
operation. This torque converter is called a “squished design” as it is pancaked in design.
