Abstract
A device for transmitting the position of a drivebelt pulley of a continually variable automatic transmission to a valve arrangement includes a lever assembly extending between the valve and a variable displacement abutment connected to a sensor foot contacting the pulley. The position of the sensor foot is displaceable on an axial guide rod according to the position of a threaded bushing. The position of the pedal is adjustable from outside the transmission housing by rotating a tool that turns a setting sleeve rotatably fixed to the guide rod. As the guide rod turns, the bushing, engaged with threads on the sensor foot, changes the position of the abutment contacted by the lever assembly.
