Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), when the vehicle starts from a stop, the input pulley indeed has a smaller diameter and the output pulley has a larger diameter to provide more torque. Technician B is incorrect as VDP CVTs do not typically use a separate electric motor for reverse; they use the same pulleys and belt system to achieve reverse gear.
