This is achieved when the belts and pulleys of the CVT transition to points that are preset, thus simulating a changing of gears. While a CVT lacks the gears that a conventional automatic transmission has, some CVTs do permit “manual shifting”. It should be noted that there is a CVT that is less common that utilizes a set of rollers and discs. As one pulley increases in width, the other pulley narrows, allowing the continuously variable transmission to provide uninterrupted acceleration. Explained simply, the width of the pulleys varies in accordance with how much energy is required. One of the two pulleys is connected to the engine, and the other pulley sends the power needed to move the vehicle to the wheels. Rather, a CVT utilizes a couple of variable-width pulleys which are connected by a single belt. A CVT transmission is completely void of gears.
#CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION SERIES#
The primary difference between an automatic transmission in most Kansas City area vehicles and the CVT transmission is that the former utilizes a complex series of gears to transmit an engine's power to the wheels.
As such, Certified Transmission has thought to share our expertise on the technology behind the CVT.Ĭontinuously Variable Transmission Explained
CVT transmissions have been installed in passenger cars and trucks since 1989, but for those of our customers in the Kansas City area that have not shopped for vehicles in the past few years, this automotive technology may be new to them. CVTs (continuously variable transmission) have become more common in vehicles on the roads in and around the Kansas City and greater Clay County area. Certified Transmission is the leader in the Kansas City area for the repair and service of CVT Transmissions.
