As a mechanic, I can tell you these are our #1 money maker in the shop. Its a golf cart technology that was implemented into 4000 lbs vehicles. They can be reliable to a degree if you drive like my 80 year old grandma. Slow acceleration, speed limit and no sudden acceleration. The problems surfaces when people drive them like traditional gear transmission. They're not built to handle that. Car manufacturers like them because they are cheaper, lighter and get slightly better mpg so they can advertise for it. I personally would not buy a car with a CVT.
Nissan Note 2006, bought at around 50,000km traded in for another one (only 2009) at 361,000km, no transmission issues whatsoever. That was a lot of long hot miles, proper, timely oil and transmission fluid changes plus sparkplugs etc. Got around 100,000km from one set of front brake pads. Took the time to understand how cvt works internet videos were excellent, and drove it that way. Found it a very relaxing and rewarding experience, even over demanding terrain with two three, or once four hitchhikers and their backpacks crammed in. Follow the Designer's handbook, guys. And far more importantly, the same applies to your own body.

Love them, hate them, or indifferent towards them, you've got to admit it's an extremely clever design to conceive. Engineers are some very clever people.
On a very basic level it is a very simple idea at work; two sets of moving plates with chain/belt that mimic gears/sheaves of different sizes, that can change speed ratios between driving and driven side.
@@spol1622its hard to understand without seeing it with your own eyes and being able to touch the parts. i dont get it through a video, your words are like a foreign language
@ethanmoore3027 Our 2022 New when we bought it Camry has an 8 speed automatic transmission and we love it. The crt transmission in the Rogue that we had just seemed to be all over the place with shifting or whatever it does. Your comment is much appreciated!
@@markfurchtenicht8274 the Toyota transmission might be better than Nissan, but they are still cvt. I got a 2019 Camry and i absolutely hate the cvt in it
Excellent explanation video, I always wondered how the diameters changed, didn’t realize it was ramping up and down to the fixed side pulley. That’s gotta be hard on that belt after 100K miles of hard driving.
thank you for preparing this video. the graphics were outstanding. I acknowledge the time it took to create the video. your efforts are appreciated thanks. 123
I have a 2017 Honda with the CVT. There is a little lag when starting out, but not that bad. I also have a 2023 Lexus and they improved the transmission by adding an electrical assist. There is no noticeable lag, and if you floor it, it takes off immediately. I rented a 2022 Nissan with a CVT and it was junk. You could feel the car slowing and accelerating while keeping the gas pedal steady. Sometimes when coasting to a stop, it felt like the transmission was holding back the car. I was glad to return it to the airport.
"You could feel the car slowing and accelerating while keeping the gas pedal steady." This is one of the most honest CVT related statements. Exactly what manufacturers do not want car buyers to know.
Driving a 2016 Sentra gave me the exact same issues. Had the transmission die at 163,000KM, replaced it with a brand new one and it still drives like a piece of garbage. Horrible cars!
makes sense why most car makers went to cvt, less complicated cheaper to make resulting in cheaper cars to sell to the public. Since this thing uses a hydraulic like lever system to change gears it makes sense to constantly change the transmission oil more times than the engine oil.
Wonderful video!! Please please make a video on the Torque Converter along with the actual transmission system.🙏🏻🙏🏻 I've seen quite a few animated videos that explain Torque Converter in depth but never tell you what is before and after it -- as in how the actual shifts happen in a 6spd TC, how the transmission reacts when vehicle comes to a stop, etc.
snowmobiles have had this for years. Belts sometimes let go in a very dramatic fashion, with rubber dust everywhere. Oh, and some sleds do produce upwards of 100 hp.
CVT requires careful maintenance which is to change the fluid every 30k km to 50k km the change must be complete with filters, another is the oil temperature must be below 90°C to have derabilidad, bad for the cvt which does not have a belt replacement part This means you have to change all gears and depending on the country you live in, the cost of a new one is very expensive.
my 2016 honda civic 1.8NA engine, hit 159000 km last month, the cvt belt breaks... cost me RM19000(roughly around 4000 usd ) in honda service center, they actually just replace it with a new gearbox i repaired it in outside workshop for just RM3500( roughly around 800USD), they replaced the broken belt and reworked the torque converter
A lot of the jatco CVT issues were mostly due to manufacturers saying the fluid never needed changing or insufficient cooling. In Nissans case it was both.
I love your explanation on this junk gearbox,as unique as you can see how clever the engineers think when designing the cvt gearbox but I tell you don't fall for it it's the waist design mad
I wonder why the chain does not slip on the shafts canals when torque is applied. They seem to me pretty polished from inside and they are submerged in oil.
Never again will I buy a car with cvt transmission . I had dodge caliber with cvt and it overheated constantly and went into limp mode . It was changed 3 times under warranty and everyone had the same problem it was the worst experience ever . Winter was the only time it worked properly but summer time I had to baby it to point of pissing people off how slow I had to drive and it still overheated .
I'm not impressed at what's for sale out there these days for new vehicles. Turbos and CVT's, AWD/4WD systems, cylinder deactivation, VVT and poorly designed timing systems, low tension piston rings/oil burning, and complicated hybrid systems that are all maintenance nightmares. And if that's not bad enough, the electronic monitoring of your vehicle and how you drive in the name of "safety", the disabling of functions on your car unless you pay for a subscription (Toyota remote start) are becoming commonplace. You can keep it all.
Great video!! My question now is, if they(mfgs) can do this for a 3000lb car, why don't utv or atv mfgs do this for their off road products?? Polaris only just started the metal drive belt, but why is there no low gear that automaticly shifts into a high range like Toyota does?? Umm so many questions. 🤔🤔🤔
Soon our video course will be released and there will be a video about manual transmission. Unfortunately, we will not put this video on the channel in the near future:(
It is priceless work. I would like to appreciate you. By the way, ı am sketching simple projects in sharp 3d, and ı would take pleasure in helping you for these kind of projects for free if you want. Also, ı just want to say thank you again for video.
I guess im just old, but id still rather have a 90s - early 2000s car with a manual. I like being in control of my rpms and not feeling like a wuss. Sure, i cant play on my phone while driving like everyone else because im having fun shifting, but i prefer manual.
Hey guys I have a 2019 Honda civic I just hit 90k any tips ?? I know I’m gonna get some sarcastic answers but any REAL advice ? I love the car and would love to ride it out if I can get to st least 200
i have a question: i've heard that most of the failures on cvt is on the belt, and the preventive action is to take care the transmission oil. based on what i learned that this is PUSH belt, and based on ruclips.net/video/PQHVLH8jVc8/видео.html, is the cause of the failure often that the moveable halves did not move simultaneously, causing the 2 rings of belts slips out and made the links (elements) fall off? i've always assumed that the belts break because they were overstressed by the pulley
If pulleys are not moving simultaneously there is an oil pressure problem. Likely due to people not changing the fluid on proper intervals, and techs not doing their job and changing the filters.
CVT is a naughty name.It has created lot of trouble for many drivers ! I would never buy a car with a CVT transmission.I prefer a manual transmission!There is a TCT and DSG automatic transmission more reliable. DSG is often found in VW products and TCT in others .
The belt changes diameter (that's not right, but you know what I mean.) That's how the torque is adjusted. It doesn't have to change gears to change gear ratios.

What happens to CVT when you abruptly stop the car? Will it damage the cvt?
i have a question: i've heard that most of the failures on cvt is on the belt, and the preventive action is to take care the transmission oil.
based on what i learned that this is PUSH belt, and based on ruclips.net/video/PQHVLH8jVc8/видео.html, is the cause of the failure often that the moveable halves did not move simultaneously, causing the 2 rings of belts slips out and made the links (elements) fall off?
