CVT Drive Belt
A glazed, worn, or heat-damaged belt loses its lateral dimensions and flexibility, causing it to sit improperly in the primary clutch at idle. This creates constant friction against the clutch sheaves, spinning the transmission input shaft and making it physically difficult to move the shifter lever. Replacing the belt restores the necessary clearance for neutral engagement.

Primary Clutch One-Way Bearing
The one-way bearing allows the belt to remain stationary while the primary clutch rotates at engine idle speeds. If this bearing seizes or develops flat spots, it forces the belt to rotate with the engine, placing the transmission under constant load and resulting in high-effort shifting and a violent clunk when a gear finally engages.

Shift Cable Assembly
The mechanical linkage can stretch or become misaligned due to heat cycles and chassis vibration. If the cable is out of adjustment, the transmission internal detents do not align with the cockpit shifter gates, causing the operator to perceive significant resistance and a 'hard' mechanical feel when attempting to select a gear.
