Yes it is, isn't it! I must confess that I have not tried it out on the motorway, I have not gone above 80 Kph. I think the noise increases considerably when you go above 100 Kph.

Ik vind je motortoerental vrij hoog bij continue snelheid. Vacuum al eens gecontroleerd? Misschien 1 vd membranen in de primaire vario lek…

Haha, na 45 seconden al gezakt voor rijexamen. Binnenspiegel, buitenspiegel, linkerschouder... ? Gelukkig geen aanrijding. Verder een leuke video. Lijkt me wel wennen, dat met een variomatic het toerental (motorgeluid) hetzelfde blijft, terwijl je toch accellereert.

In mijn Volvo 66 zit nu een 1300 cc Marathon motor , Trekt hiermee heerlijk vinnig op , Een 1400 cc met dubbele Weber past er ook in . Op You Tube staat ook een oud filmpje van mijn Dolvje .

aa please be careful not to rev the engine when moving the gearstick! The centrifugal clutch will make the input to the gearbox be spinning, moving the gearstick at this time will cause gears to grind It is the same as changing gears without using the clutch It's important to ensure engine is at idle RPM before moving the gearstick between the gears

this was the case for DAF 66 cars, but Volvo changed it, you can change gear even uo to 2000 rpm

what rpm does it turn at 100kph?

Great video. I can't understand the appeal of the Variomatic. Yes it was a cheap automatic, but there were many better transmissions at the time even in 1981. Whether you like modern CVTs or not, they have come a long way from this.

Thanks. Yes that they have come a long way is absolutely true! The appeal of the Variomatic also remains a mystique to me honestly, other that it is more or less a classic piece of car history though.

I have a 1982 volvo 66 in the same colour cool cars but the vario makes it rev really high meaning fuel economy isnt that great
