Understanding CVT Transmissions | How CVT works?

Why many people don't like CVT Continuously Variable Transmissions? Are CVTs bad transmissions? In this video animation we will explore the basic principle and inner workings of CVT. It is like a transmission with infinite number of gears. It is used by many vehicles due to the smooth driving experience it provides. It switches back and forth for maximum torque or maximum power, to give the driver the best performance and giving also the best gas economy.

That is why if you floor it and the engine just drones, it is spooling up. In other words, one pully is opening up/getting wider and the other is closing up getting narrower. and they cannot do this instantly, it takes a while. I in essence that is how they change gears. You actually get faster acceleration if you progressively press on the accelerator as opposed to just smacking it to the floor.

I'm a MT guy but I got a CVT in my 18 Crosstrek Limited and it's been fantastic. No issues and it makes great power for the actual numbers in the boxer engine (150hp). Super impressed although I'll be upgrading to a MT Sports car sooner than later :D

I still don't understand how the system works when switched to manual and offers (for example) a 5 gear selection on a system where actual gears do not exist.

What are you talking about "from max torque to max power" as if the two are different ends of mechanical input, max torque is what makes max power, in power u just consider rotational speed

I was trying to find videos about defication..why was this video recommended?

It works like a snow mobile clutch from 40 years back. Typical copy cat. nothing new but made overly complicated.

Unlike my Toyota 5 speed with 342k miles that still works perfectly the CVT will fail as I have seen in my step sons Altima, Chrysler, and another car I can not remember. They are junk. All failed under 100k miles.

So it’s a snowmobile clutch. Not a new thing yet again. Any new inventions in the last 70 years?
