CVT Transmission / how does it work? (3d animation)

CVT (Continuously variable transmission) is a type of an automatic transmission that is commonly utilized in passenger cars. We will consider the structure and principle of operation of this gearbox on one example.

[@WeAreNotSheep2023]

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.

No, it's not, it's a design that fails far more often than a regular automatic transmission - that is not clever design.

[@spol1622]

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.

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.

[@cruzin6123]

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.

[@slumy8195]

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.

[@TheSwaroopB]

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.

Makes me think of my 1972 Skiroule snowmobile, it had a rubber belt though.

[@CaptAmerica12]

Very Interesting, The idea makes sense.

[@fabianoazambuja1]

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.

[@3dprovray]

The title of this article might be about Ford CVT transmissions, how they don't work, why they constantly malfunction.

[@cvetelingeorgiev1527]

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.

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoKrh39-bc-JmZo, 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

[@russellmaddock3492]

[@milfordcivic6755]

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.

Does Honda's CVT have torque converter?

[@briankleinschmidt3664]

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.

Very simple and clever concept but not new. This concept has been in use in farming equipment for quite some time now. However the car makers do not have it perfected yet and I consider these in a car....junk. If you drive like your grandmother then you might be good for a while. However if you drive in a way that most consider normal then your CVT will not last. I would not own one.

[@the_man1977]

Great explanation and intuitive video, but CVT's are just not feasible in my opinion. There is too much going on and too many computers involved; no wonder they fail so often. There is no way that this option is more efficient than a standard automatic transmission. Nonetheless, great vid!
