CVTs are able to climb up all the way to their redline without having to do anything. CVTs are preferred due to their ride comfort compared to automatic transmissions as they won\u2019t jerk the car every time it changes gears.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CVTs have made their way into modern economy cars due to their simplicity in design, cost, and ride comfort. The next time someone whines about more CVTs in cars again, you can argue back that CVTs came from Formula 1 technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"6nWrDKGoYJo\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Formula 1 Car with INFINITE GEARS | The Blueprint\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6nWrDKGoYJo?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As dull as CVTs are to drive according to purists, some manufacturers put work into them trying to make them more engaging.

However, unlike CVTs that have a continuous, single gear, a regular automatic transmission can have four or more gear ratios. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An onboard computer determines whether the engine needs to climb up and down gears via a hydraulic system.

What\u2019s the maintenance like between an automatic gearbox vs a CVT?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automatic gearboxes are easily maintained due to how long the technology has been around. They can also handle more power from the engine and are built tough like a solid block of iron. Parts are easily sourced and there are dedicated transmission workshop specialists out there who know how to repair them from top to bottom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CVTs on the other hand, are very hard to repair. There aren\u2019t many workshops that know how to fix it and replacement parts are difficult to source from the manufacturer. Ask any foreman at the workshop and they\u2019ll tell you it\u2019s cheaper to replace the whole unit. While not too far-fetched, a plausible theory is CVTs are designed with planned obsolescence in mind. Hence, replacing a brand-new gearbox is a much cheaper and easier choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, the performance of CVTs is also limited by the material of the chain belt. They\u2019re generally made out of steel chains or steel-reinforced kevlar and aramid belts. In economy cars, the latter makes it a more common appearance to save cost and weight. Pushing your engine too hard with modifications can make your CVT gearbox suffer severe damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Auto vs CVT.
