<p>A continuously variable transmission (10) includes a belt/pulley assembly (18) driven by a prime mover, a two-element fluid coupling (20) driven by the belt/pulley assembly, a forward and reverse gear assembly (22) driven by the fluid coupling, and a final drive assembly (14) driven by the gear assembly and driving a load. The belt/pulley assembly includes a continuously running belt (62), and the fluid coupling isolates the belt from drive line shocks and vibrations.</p> |
