Best vehicle I ever owned was a 1988 Toyota 4Runner. It had a 4 cyl 22RE motor, small lift with huge tires (like that when I bought it), and a 5 speed transmission. Before going to college, I gave it to my dad because I wanted something smaller for the travelling. It had 300k miles on it. He drove it for years, putting another 300k miles on it. The body rusted in half, and a guy bought the motor to put in his truck, and is still driving it today. Never had an issue with that little motor.

I always used to say that long before when they nust created cvt transmission that gear is called a final drive it takes away the strain off the belt during kick off and also extent the continuous drive at high speed so the fluid wont have to boil due to tension

[@MainMite06]

The CVT fluid isnt being spoiled from actuating motion from the pumps, *The fluid is getting spoiled from high engine heat* Modern day cars deliberatly run 180+ degrees fahrenheit as a homeostatic temperature to clean the emissions at the cost of engine power. Epicyclic transmissions are designed to handle high heat, in fact they can run their best in high heat, Because epicyclic transmissions use a mix heavy petroleum/mineral oil thats meant to control friction rather than lubricating metal as priority CVTs on the other hand use a mineral oil thats more relatable to dot3-4 brake fluid than ATF. The CVT fluid is designed to be more of a lubricant than a friction modifier, In truth CVT fluids dont like high heat, this is has been the true crux of why CVTs been failing before 50K miles. The poor CVT has to deal with the heat of it needing to actuate it's pumps while being to attatched to a lava-hot ICE The fluid can be poured in red or clear grey, and then after 40K miles it could be drained out motor oil black. CVT fluids are freakin' weaksauce

The biggest problem with American automotive companies is that they start at the bottom line profit and work everything in from there. The first thing they should do is make all engineers work on the assembly line and also make them listen to the production crew about problems or ideas. I worked in Research and Development with all type engineers/designers and were taught to keep our ears and eyes open for total input. An example is our operating manual was written by Tech Writers but tested by our secretaries who never touched the machine. So many little things were found that were left out or put in the wrong steps. Our production workers found steps to make it easier to install some of the modules.

Scotty did you ever see the all-electric transmission that was prototyped for the early VIA Trucks? The Gas V6 engine under the hood had an electric motor mounted to the back of it, then in the rear of the truck directly connected to the rear axle was a unit that had 2 different internal electric motors. 1 for acceleration and 1 for highway driving. They stated in their display booth in Vegas that it had better acceleration than a stock V6 silverado in motor 1 mode, then once you got to 45mph, it would apply the power to the 2nd motor which was designed to reduce power consumption at 45+ mph speeds. The test drive they did was undetectable of any transition. It was kinda unique that the output of the motor on the back of the gas engine was directly powering the rear motor for propulsion.

[@newfinishautospa]

CVT transmissions can launch fast and Toyota could make them launch faster, but it isn’t all about acceleration for most drivers. They want cars that take off quietly and don’t sound like they are struggling to leave a stop light. My Mustang has a torque converter that lets it launch at 4,000 rpms if I want to and it is insanely loud while doing so. Yet it also don’t really fully engage under 2,000rpms. It’s either performance or comfort. If you want both then you have to pay for a $100,000 Tesla p100D. But then you have to worry about your next charging station. It’s all about trade offs. It’s as simple as that.

The CVT in hybrid toyota is different from CVT in gas toyotas. The hybrid one is planetary gears (power split device) called eCVT. The other one is two cones and they are just like you said they do slip. The solution to that it has a dedicated discreet gear called launch gear.

[@cc-tb3st]

Nobody knows this. Everyone thinks the hybrid ecvt is a belt. No belt at all, it's actually a differential. Toyota does things and names things for marketing for the lowest common denominator customer. For example, using a gas engine instead of diesel on Prius, a car designed for fuel mileage. Diesel would be so much better but the average consumer wouldn't buy it because they aren't familiar with diesel. Or the artificial drag Toyota put when you release the gas to imitate the drag of a normal car. Even though that drag is being turned into energy stored in the battery for use later, it's still more efficient to conserve momentum and not artificially slow the car. I love my Prius, but I would love it even more if it was diesel and didn't have the artificial drag. I also wish the diesel was a generator and didn't actually drive the wheels. It just put energy in the battery and electric motors actually did all the work. Exactly like the new Edison semi.

I just got a 2022 SE, and I was worried about getting a cvt. But after driving it for about a week I realized it’s actually not that bad at all. Kinda feels like an 8 speed. Well done toyota

I have personally worked with these transmission at our Facility. Coming from Nissans JK2 rebuilds for their CVT's. Their issue is that Initial start... First "Gear" the most torque, most stress. Majority of people have heavy foot, dont even ease into them. Direct drive from what I have seen from Test. Toyota once again, being Toyota. Smart!

[@totalchips6547]

The only reason all car manufacturer's are pushing the CVTS is because they are cheaper to manufacture so the will make more profits. However the will use the excuse Cvt's improve gas milage, but that statement is just a piece of bologna.

A C-HR with the fixed gear CVT? Do you live outside the US? I’m pretty certain the US model doesn’t have that transmission.

[@skaraborgcraft]

Drive a Toyota Avensis with a CVT, best gearbox ever, sport mode in auto and a manual push-pull option AND great fuel consumption. The local taxi service uses them, no problems up to 500,000km. You have a good channel, but i dont know if its you or Utube, but having to watch 2 lots of adverts in a 10 minute video, will lose you viewers.

CVT is better as long as it's built right.

[@TheGreatest1974]

Another thing that makes them fast is the fact that you don’t have to change gear like in a manual transmission.

[@MrWindermere123]

I see a parallel in the building industry: main companies using sub-contractors to finish a project in order to cut the cost of directly-employed staff. The 'subbies' and the transmissions from a different maker have less commitment to excellence because their name is not on the main product and they have no share in the profit (if there is one). Economists call this the casualisation of labour but Scotty with his poetic turn of phrase would probably call it 'a pile of crap'. He would be right.

Dream Design Build I have a CVT in my 19 Nissan Note, *and it does act like an epicyclic gearbox sometimes* . If I "drag race" the car from a standstill *The CVT rigidly upshifts 3 times* If I want to speed up from 30 to 40 mph by slamming the gas *The CVT will downshift rigidly once like a fixed gearbox* And then there's this added bonus: *whenever my car comes to a stop the CVT goes into underdrive & unlocks the locking torque converter* - *it feels like my car is downshifting and bumping itself before it makes the complete stop*

I think he misunderstand between CVT and e-cvt. One use steel belt and the other use planetary gearing. Steel belt might loose efficiency in long term, but e-cvt planetary system is why Toyota's hybrid system shines!

Not to mention Scotty has frowned on Honda fairly consistently in the past for poor transmissions but good motors. Honda is great for Motors is my point and Scotty praising them for transmissions is odd for him.

They do. A friend of mine studied quality gaps in auto manufacturing at GA Tech. They were so far ahead of the competition it was eye popping to see the graph and numbers. It wasn't close. GM was way down the list , but above Chrysler.

RH they have great quality but make boring cars. When was the last time they actually made a great sport car. Don’t even say the Supra because it’s a bmw. They last real sport car they made was the spyder. Now they make economy & suvs. Don’t get me wrong they are great cars.

[@Matchleader]

but not the best ENGINE. Honda makes the best engines in the world

[@ongardking8849]

God’s Strength incorrect mate, sorry... ever heard of the JZ engines? Yeah Honda’s should stay king of the lawn, that’s all

[@OatmealCreamPie]

Wait, so if the launch gear is to minimize wear in the CVT, could you make it so during acceleration the launch gear can be supplied by an electric motor, and then the ICE powering the CVT takes over (and vice versa for deceleration)? That's incredibly ingenious!!

[@VKSgtSLaughter]

LAUNCH GEAR... Does it work for PASSING? Some CVTs have problems when passing on the highway.

[@MainMite06]

Sgt. SLaughter The answer is: No *The purpose for launch gear in this car is to only be the "underdrive gear" , (1st-4th gear equivalent) for launching from a standstill* Normal belted CVTs use two pulleys to manipulate the gear ratio applied to the engine. The input is the pulley that takes engine power. The output is the pulley connected to the output shaft & differential. When you launch a normal CVT from standstill *the input pulley is squeezed and the output is relaxed to make the "underdrive gear" so the car can launch from a standstill quicker* When you're cruising at a steady speed, *the cvt is in its 'rest' position "direct drive", so both pulleys are at rest & the belt is at equal length between the two. *but, when the vehicle has to cross 30-100mph quietly CVT needs to be in "overdrive" (5th-6th gear equivalent) * A normal CVT goes into overdrive by adding pressure to the output pulley and relieving pressure from the input pulley. Whenever a normal CVT has to make panic acceleration, or downshift for acceleration, - *the output pulley gets relieved & the input pulley now is squeezed temporarily to make the engine rev quickly until the high speed is reached, once the high is reached the CVT goes into "overdrive" to slow the engine* In these Toyotas whenever you need to panic-accelerate- *the CVT relieves the output shaft to squeeze the input shaft to speed the engine up* -Just like any other CVT.. The fixed gear is solely used for getting the car moving!

[@sgbawg0]

Wait a moment, doesnt scotty say to wait a few years to see how well new tech works out before buying into it? Isnt a gear for initial acceleration in CVT transmission a new technology?

[@MainMite06]

Flightsimguy There are different styles of CVTs, like the Toroid style, but the conventional belted CVT is the one Scotty hates. *Normal CVTs use a regular automatic clutch pack for a reverse gear* Otherwise in a normal CVT, whenever your car is sitting & put into "drive" -The lockup converter locks up like a dry clutch -the input pully is squeezed to make an "underdrive" (so now the CVT is now in 1-4th equivalent) -The CVT will stay in "underdrive" until you're already moving, -once youre moving, the CVT will release pressure from the input pulley & go into "direct drive" (4-5th equivalent) *with Toyota the 'underdrive' function is now done by the rigid clutch pack* *The CVT belt no longer has to 'underdrive' itself again*

[@Fanta....]

No electric car for me. Not until the battery is the size of a VHS tape and you change it the same way.

[@jamesaschenberg199]

I have a 2018 Camry Hybrid, I don’t know if it has the launch gear in it but it gets up and moves, FUN to drive!!! The only draw back is the navigation system they put in it, our 2016 had a great nav system. On the other hand, my wife has a 2018 Subaru Outback, in comparison its a dooogggg!!!!
