An adjustment mechanism for use with a driven clutch of continuously variable transmission has an adjustor ring that receives a first end of a spring. A follower plate be carried by one of the pulley halves has a surface to interact with the other pulley half. The follower plate receives the adjustor ring. A holding element, a set screw in a preferred embodiment, retains the adjustor ring in a position relative to the follower plate. The mechanism allows rotation of the adjustor ring relative to the follower plate to adjust the spring force.
