Traction Cable
The traction cable is subject to repeated tensile stress which causes the inner wire to stretch over time. When the cable elongates beyond the adjustment range of the handle knob, it fails to provide enough leverage to pivot the transmission assembly, resulting in insufficient belt tension and subsequent slipping under load.

Transmission Drive Belt
Continuous slippage generates localized frictional heat which 'glazes' the sidewalls of the V-belt, hardening the rubber and reducing its coefficient of friction. Once the belt is glazed or worn thin, the wedge effect within the pulley is compromised, allowing the belt to slide even when nominal tension is applied.

Traction Idler Spring
This extension spring provides the constant force necessary to hold the transmission in the engaged position. Material fatigue or corrosion can lead to a reduction in the spring's rate (k-constant), preventing the system from maintaining the required pressure against the drive belt to transfer engine torque to the wheels.
