Abstract
A dual wet output clutch for a continuously variable transmission which acts as a starting clutch upon a signal from a throttle induced hydraulic fluid supply to connect the transmission with the vehicle wheels and replaces a mechanical forward-neutral-reverse selection by hydraulic actuation of one of the dual clutches to provide forward or reverse power. Also a secondary mechanism is utilized with the reverse gear to deactivate the reverse clutch in the forward mode and reduce drag loss.
