Sadly, almost all consumer market CVTs nowadays are chain-drive.
Also, I've seen non-CVT transmissions overheat also... lots of new cars running these ultra-thin low-friction transmission fluids to meet economy standards... so the ECU throws a fit and pulls power (or even goes into limp mode) every time the temperature climbs from lukewarm to slightly hot.
