Trooper tranny swap..??

[Tobie1987]

I've been wondering where I can get a cvt tranny like the ones in the ground powder 1100..I'd like to swap it out with my 5 speed in my trooper... or maybe a cvt tranny out of something else..

The the CVT system in the ground ponder never worked.They would burn out the belts all the time. Chery makes one with a chain but they will not fit.I tried to buy one but vendor said it would not fit the SQR472 engine.This belt system can not take the torque of the 4 cylinder motor.The V twin motor doesn't have much torque i would think and the weight is much less.Take this information as my thoughts only.Outer C/V joints for 800 M/V 1100cc Viper are in stock now.Coming soon 650 Spider and Viper Trooper & Renegade.

Not sure if the bolt patterns are the same between the 800 and the 1100, but the 800 chery motor is used by both Kawasaki and John Deere in cvt side by sides.

The trany well fit both 800 and 1100 chery engines.

Agreed, stay away from belt driven cv's with this heavy machine. Especially since the belt will be made in china. The Joyner rubber products has be been the worst!

Ground ponder went out of business because of the CVT tranny.They just could not get it right.
