The CVT drive belt — also known as the CVT belt or continuously variable transmission belt — is the push-type steel or reinforced rubber belt that transfers drive between the primary and secondary pulley cones in a continuously variable transmission, allowing infinitely variable gear ratios between defined minimum and maximum limits. Unlike a conventional timing belt, the CVT belt operates under very high clamping pressure from the hydraulically actuated cones and must maintain precise dimensional tolerances to allow accurate ratio control. A worn or broken CVT belt causes slipping, metallic noise, and ultimately a complete loss of drive. CarParts247 stocks CVT replacement belts from Gates and Continental Contitech for common CVT-equipped platforms.
CVT belt wear is gradual and often masked by the transmission's adaptive software compensating for the loss of clamping force. The first noticeable symptom is usually a hesitation or slip under hard acceleration.
Unlike a timing belt, CVT belt replacement intervals are not universally defined and vary between manufacturers from as little as 30,000 miles to a 'lifetime fill' claim. Many independent transmission specialists recommend inspection or replacement at 60,000–80,000-mile intervals, particularly on high-torque petrol and diesel applications.
