CFT23

The constantly variable transmission (CVT) ZF CFT23 of the German manufacturer of auomatic transmissions with the trade name "Ecotronic" has been installed on Ford Focus, C-MAX with engines 1.6 - 1.8 liters since 2003 until 2008. Later more powerful CFT30 was developed for Ford vehicles with a 3-liter engine. This CVT had been installed before 2008 on powerful Taurus as well as on Ford Focus of European assembly. This CVT was also noticed on Mercury Sable. The “push” belt construction is used in СFT23 as in RE0F09A, /JF010E by Nissan instead of “pulling” belt used in 01J CVT (Audi).
