A continuously variable transmission assembly includes a driving pulley rotatable about a driving pulley axis and a driven pulley rotatable about a driven pulley axis. An endless belt operatively connecting the pulleys defines a belt reference plane, the driving and driven pulley axes passing therethrough. A housing encloses a space, the driving pulley, the driven pulley, and the belt being disposed at least in part therein. A driven pulley inlet and outlet defined in the housing are disposed closer to the driven pulley than the driving pulley. The driven pulley inlet, disposed on a first side of the belt reference plane, is configured to direct air from outside the housing into the space toward the driven pulley. The driven pulley outlet is disposed on a second side of the belt reference plane. Air flows from the space to the outside of the housing via the driven pulley outlet.

Continuously variable transmission assembly for a vehicle

A shifting sleeve for selectively engaging a transmission gear in a vehicle transmission is provided. The transmission gear has at least one opening defined therein. The shifting sleeve comprises at least one tooth for selectively engaging the at least one opening defined in the transmission gear. The at least one tooth extends from the shifting sleeve body and has a first portion, a second portion and a third portion. The first portion has a top surface disposed at a first height and the second portion has a top surface disposed at a second height, the first height being greater than the second height. The third portion is disposed between the first and second portions, and has a top surface disposed at an angle and extending between the top surfaces of the first and second portions.
