Description: A Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) uses an arrangement of pulleys and bands to achieve an unlimited variation between the highest and lowest ratios. Unlike conventional automotive transmissions, CVTs do not employ a graduating arrangement of fixed gear ratios to deliver power transmission. CVTs have seen spotty vehicle applications over the years, but have staged a recent comeback due to improving and emerging technologies.

Purpose: CVTs help the engine stay closer to its most efficient operating range, which can help both performance and fuel economy. CVTs may also offer manufacturers different economies of scale for transmission manufacturing.

Maintenance Tips/Suggestions: CVTs require a different maintenance regimen than conventional manual or automatic transmissions. Refer to your car's owner's manual for specific recommendations for CVT maintenance.
