Well I caught a little wave of water yesterday in the cvt intake while crossing about a foot of water. LOL... no problem. I just put it in neutral to blow out the water and putted home. It dried out just fine. No debris in the cvt. I checked. I was surpirsed though to find out that our cvt's. I wonder if we can make one...hmmmm. I might need to come up with a snorkel for the intake at least. Th exhaust for the cvt is pretty high up there. Also question for you guys. might seem silly but the air intake. I would assume it gets air from the canister but was looking at it and didn't see any openings.
