CVT dilemma

[speedy]

well , our team has decided to install a cvt transmission for SAE BAJA but cannot decide on which company to contact and how to do it? also we want to have a L-H-N-R gearbox installed on it . Please help and how to go about it....

We converted a polaris transaxle to run heavy bearings and a high HP snowmobile secondary by using a custom 4130 output shaft. It has L-H-N-R
High range in 10-1, low is 25-1 as is reverse.
The car this was installed is being parted out, I can ask Joe if he would consider sale of this gearbox. If you are interested let me know.
Thanks!
Aaron.

Welcome to the site. Do a search on here for Baja SAE CVT and you will see several threads discussing this topic. Here is one: CVT Basics please?

The only L-H-N-R gearboxes that I know of is to use one from an ATV such as some Polaris models.

Hey Airwolf how big of snowmobile engine where you running and what type of H-L-N-R transmission did you use.I'm using a 500 Explorer motor and the trany works great an upgrade to a more powerful engine wouldn't be a bad thing IMO. What all did you do to the transmission other than the input shaft and what about the bearings bigger or just better bearings ?
Thanks Sodman

We ran a 150 HP 800 twin two stroke with no problems. main shaft bearing was updated to a larger bearing all others upgraded as well.
