ABSTRACT:
The continuously variable transmission (CVT) includes an input shaft delivering power from an engine, an output shaft having a first drive member, and a secondary shaft having a first driven member operationally connected with the first drive member. The CVT further includes a pulley member transferring power from the input shaft to the secondary shaft. The pulley member includes a drive pulley and a driven pulley operationally connected to the drive pulley. The pulley member forms a first power pathway for communicating the engine power from the input shaft to the output shaft via the secondary shaft. The CVT also includes a power by-pass member for selectively supplying power from the input shaft directly to the output shaft to form a second power pathway for communicating the engine power from the input shaft directly to the output shaft which by-passes the first power pathway.
