So now Ive had this engine about a week and have a little experience on it Im curious. I come from a diesel background and lugging is very bad. Some of the hills I pull are 4-8% and a mile long. Does lugging these cause any damage? Also at some point if the hill pulls you out of the torque curve and you drop below a certain mph are you sposed to disengage the engine to keep clutch slippage down? How long are these clutches expected to last?
I tried to go up a mountain trail. With what I assume is a 10mph min. speed and loose gravel and rocks it didnt go well. Nuvinci or nothing im thinking. Could drop that 10mph down to 3.5 and make it a lot more doable. Any other suggestions or possibilities? The more you add into a system the less reliable it becomes so I was leary of the nuvinci.
