Abstract
A driven clutch for a continuously variable transmission including a belt. The driven clutch includes a first sheave, a roller, a second sheave, an engine braking helix including an engine braking ramp, and an acceleration helix including an acceleration ramp. (1) When the belt applies torque to the first sheave and the second sheave in an acceleration direction, the acceleration helix is secured to and rotates together with the second sheave and the roller contacts the acceleration ramp to pinch the belt between the first sheave and the second sheave. (2) When the belt applies torque to the first sheave and the second sheave in an engine braking direction opposite the acceleration direction, the engine braking helix is secured to and rotates together with the second sheave and the roller contacts the engine braking ramp to pinch the belt between the first sheave and the second sheave.
