Cvt Transmission Shop

A CVT is an automatic transmission system which offers a smoother driving experience by optimizing the process of change. The transition between gears becomes almost smooth by the design of the CVT, and the effect of "shift-shock" is greatly lessened.


CVTs also provide better fuel economy and power consumption, as it allows the engine to operate at optimum power, regardless of how fast the vehicle travels.


The word "continuously variable" implies that the CVT allows for a constant change within the engine, instead of the actual gear "stages," so that there is no apparent shift between gears.

Different types of CVTs Many types of continuously variable transmissions are available, many of which are now available from major automakers.

Pulley-Based The most common CVT uses a complex pulley system to provide smooth gear changes instead of gears.
