Yahoo Autos Here Are the Five Things You Should Never Do in a Car With a CVT
Car enthusiasts are known for their disdain of continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), but they actually rock. While it may sound and feel weird to drive a car with a CVT, they're better than any other transmission at keeping cars in their ideal power band.
They're similar in operation to a traditional torque-converter automatic, but since the CVT uses a fundamentally different design, they require a different technique. The ever-excellent Jason Fenske over at Engineering Explained goes through the five things you should never do in a car with a CVT in his latest video.
As he did with dual-clutch transmissions, Fenske takes you through the engineering behind CVTs and how you should adjust your driving style in a CVT-equipped car.
Since you're a Road & Track reader, you might not love cars with CVTs, but they're very common, so you should at least know how they work.
