This was the most detailed view of our CVT that I have seen so far. I am very impressed by the depth of the document. The charts that show the transmissions functions under different load/speed conditions were very helpful. It was interesting to see what happens when certain faults trigger, ie sport mode lock out, etc... It also described the belt structure and function, which was also interesting. Again, great find, everyone with a CVT should have this.

Done. This could be moved to the KB: General Information, but I think this section is fine for now.
I also high recommend downloading the service manual files for anyone that wants to know more about their car.

Could you give us a link to the torrent? :)
I've searched and couldn't find anything!

For those that like to see more than to read, click on the video below if you have yet to seen Mitsubishi's explanation on how the CVT works on the 2008 Lancer.

2008 Lancer CVT Small | Large


On a side note, makes me wonder if the valves, stepper motor, and linkage are the primary causes of breakdown when turbocharging the CVT and not so much the belt or pully breaking down. But that's for different thread elsewhere.
