ABSTRACT:
A continuously variable transmission of an automotive vehicle comprises a primary pulley disposed on a power input shaft, and a secondary pulley disposed on a power output shaft. Each of the primary and secondary pulleys includes a fixed wheel counterpart having a first sheave surface, and a movable wheel counterpart having a second sheave surface. The first and second sheave surfaces face each other to form a pulley groove whose width is changeable with axial movement of the movable wheel counterpart. An endless belt is wound on the primary pulley and the secondary pulley so that the secondary pulley is drivably connected to the primary pulley. The belt includes a steel belt portion, and a plurality of steel elements supported on the steel belt portion and aligned along the steel belt portion. The respective steel elements are engageable in the pulley grooves of the primary pulley and the secondary pulley. In the above arranged continuously variable transmission, the sheave surfaces of the fixed and movable wheel counterparts of the primary pulley has a first surface roughness, and the sheave surfaces of the fixed and movable wheel counterparts of the secondary pulley has a second surface roughness which is rougher than the first surface roughness.
