ABSTRACT:
A continuously variable transmission (CVT) assembly includes first and second pulley pairs having a drive belt extended therebetween. A transmission case cover includes a threaded aperture. A threaded sleeve and bearing assembly is positioned on a stationary pulley member and threadedly engaged with the threaded aperture. The threaded sleeve and bearing assembly is engaged with the stationary pulley member such that rotation of the threaded sleeve and bearing assembly causes axial adjustment of the stationary pulley member. A lock feature locks the threaded sleeve and bearing assembly in the desired rotational position, thereby locking the stationary pulley member in an axially adjusted position.
