Abstract
A high-low shifting active torque management continuously variable transmission (CVT) system is provided. A primary pulley of a CVT is in operational communication with an engine. A high variable torque limiting clutch and a low variable torque limiting clutch selectively couple torque between a secondary pulley of the CVT and at least one drive axle of a vehicle when the vehicle when respectfully activated. The high variable torque limiting clutch and the low variable torque limiting clutch are configured to dynamically adjust a respective slippage threshold to above a then current output torque of the CVT and below a then current clamping force generated by the primary pulley and the secondary pulley on a torque connecting endless looped member of the CVT when respectfully activated.
