Treat ur cvt belt with care... its after all a rubberband. You can use paddle shifts but try do not use it for 'engine braking'.. if wheel spinning faster than engine, the rubberband will suddenly stretch... There is a protection built in if case you accidentally try to downshift to a very low gear when crusing at high speed, it will emit a warning beep and will not downshift.
Vice versa if u try to turbo charge ur engine, a sudden boost of torque from the engine will snap the belt (like what u see in the pic, the one in that container is the belt and its metal cuffs). Our local 'racing' workshop has blown at least 2 cvt gb in their quest to turbo charge a 2.0cvt. Latest I hear is someone still trying to install a very low boost turbo (but whats the point?).
ckk, the sound if only appear if kena water is quite likely the bushing grease mixed with water will create such metal to metal sound like what some others suggest. Its like that notorious waja link that squeeks when it fails.
Erm..so you mean for engine braking must use stick not paddle shift? sorry..blur here..
