Hi,
We'll probably be getting our first car with those new CVT transmissions.
Just wondering: if you depress the gas pedal fully, do they, essentially, drop down (what would be equal to) a gear like all the non-CVT older transmissions always did ?
If you need a quick burst of speed, how is it accomplished with a CVT ?
Thanks, R.
One cone gets narrow one cone gets wide. I find that when I rent CVT cars I pretty well keep them in the equivalent of second or third gear with the gas pedal floored. Good luck to you with your new CVT.
They work like a snowmobile clutch and converter system. Just enclosed and longer life belt/chain.
