Detailed Product Description

The Gates G-Force CVT Belt 77G3158 is part of the G-Force CVT Belt product line, which focuses on delivering reliable and consistent performance for automatic continuously variable transmissions. This belt features a notched construction that enhances flexibility and heat dissipation, critical for maintaining optimal operation under varying load conditions. The use of aramid cords provides superior tensile strength, ensuring the belt withstands the stresses of power transmission without stretching or breaking.

Constructed from chloroprene, the belt material offers resistance to heat, oil, and wear, extending the service life of the belt in demanding environments. The fabric bottom reduces friction and wear against the pulleys, contributing to smoother operation and reduced maintenance needs. With a top width of 20 mm and an outside circumference of 819 mm, this belt is designed to meet specific fitment requirements for certain automatic CVT systems.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or damaged CVT belts in automatic transmissions
