5 CVT Transmission Parts Available from GFX

CVT transmissions have revolutionized the automotive industry, providing smooth and efficient driving experiences. At GFX, we pride ourselves on offering top-quality CVT transmission parts to ensure your vehicle runs optimally. 

In this blog, we’ll explore five essential CVT transmission parts available from GFX, helping you understand their significance and how they contribute to your vehicle’s overall performance.

What is a CVT Transmission?

While the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) has only become popular recently due to new efficiency-enhancing innovations, its design has been around for centuries. Leonardo DaVinci created the initial CVT in 1490, but it was not officially patented until 1886 by Daimler and Benz. The CVT became well-known in 1910 after Zenit motorcycles created a highly efficient model that was disqualified from hill-climbing contests. In the late 1980s, the CVT became popular thanks to Subaru. In today’s era, nearly every manufacturer includes a model with a continuously variable transmission.

A CVT, or continuously variable transmission, smoothly transitions between an infinite range of efficient gear ratios while in motion, in contrast to mechanical transmissions with a set number of gear ratios and experience abrupt shifts between each one, according to Certified Transmission Repair. CVT transmission systems may also be called single-speed, shiftless, and stepless transmissions.

A CVT’s flexible nature allows for constant angular velocity despite changes in output speed, offering unmatched versatility. Moreover, a continuously variable transmission ensures smooth acceleration and improved fuel efficiency. Given these benefits, it’s not surprising that CVTs are gaining increasing popularity in contemporary cars.

  • Friction and Steel Pack

The friction and steel pack is vital in CVT transmissions, guaranteeing seamless and effective power transfer. This collection consists of friction plates and steel plates that collaborate to manage the engagement and disengagement of the transmission’s clutches. At GFX, we have developed friction and steel packs built to endure intense pressure and high temperatures, ensuring durability over time. Our friction and steel packs are made with top-quality materials to ensure peak performance and longevity. 

  • Filters

Filters are essential for keeping a CVT transmission clean and functioning efficiently. They capture pollutants and dirt, stopping them from spreading in the transmission system and causing harm. GFX provides top-notch filters specially made for the Hyundai Kappa CVT, guaranteeing that your transmission remains clean and functions effectively.

Frequently changing your transmission filter is crucial for the durability of your CVT. The GFX 691401D filter is constructed according to OEM standards, ensuring a precise fit and maximum filtration efficiency. By utilizing our filters, you can prolong the lifespan of your transmission and prevent expensive repairs in the future.

  • Solenoids

Solenoids play a crucial role in a CVT transmission by managing the fluid flow and guaranteeing seamless gear shifts. GFX offers high-quality solenoids for the Kappa CVT system in Hyundai and Kia cars. Our solenoids are designed to deliver accuracy and dependability, guaranteeing smooth operation of your transmission.

The solenoid GFX 691601AD is created to meet or surpass OEM requirements, offering reliable operation and a lengthy lifespan. Opting for GFX solenoids ensures that your CVT transmission operates effectively, providing the seamless driving experience characteristic of CVTs.

  • Oil Pump

The oil pump is crucial to the CVT transmission, distributing transmission fluid throughout the system. Effective lubrication is essential for minimizing friction, keeping the transmission cool, and guaranteeing smooth functioning. GFX provides a top-notch oil pump for the Kappa CVT, designed for Hyundai Accent and i20 vehicles.

The GFX 691921D oil pump is constructed with top-quality standards to guarantee effective fluid circulation and dependable performance. Using this pump helps keep your CVT transmission healthy, decreasing the chances of overheating and prolonging its longevity.

  • Chain

The chain plays a crucial role in CVT transmissions by transmitting power from the engine to the wheels. Instead of gears, a CVT uses a steel chain that moves between pulleys of different sizes, providing a seamless range of gear ratios, unlike traditional transmissions. This design guarantees the effective and smooth distribution of power.

GFX provides durable CVT transmission chains that guarantee dependable performance and a long lifespan. Our chains, constructed from strong steel, are designed to withstand the harsh circumstances of a CVT transmission.
