A worn CVT transmission belt can show up as slipping under load, weaker acceleration or visible cracks and wear on the belt. If the belt is the cause, this one replaces it. With the engine off and cool, look the belt over and measure it against the specs below first, since a shop may need to rule out other drivetrain parts for the same slipping.
