What is a CVT transmission?

A CVT is an automatic transmission that can change seamlessly through a continuous range of effective gear ratios. At Smithtown Transmissions, we specialize in all manufacturers and makes of transmissions, including CVTs, Continuously Variable Transmissions.

A CVT may feel like it never shifts gears, and in fact, they never do. With a steel drive belt, steel pulleys, and sophisticated electronics all lubricated by special fluids, this transmission utilizes variable ratio engineering to keep the engine running at the most efficient and powerful level possible, right in the power curve sweet spot all the time. CVT transmissions are most common in these makes: Nissan, Lexus, Chrysler, Mini Cooper, Subaru, Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi and many other manufacturers’ smaller vehicles.

Is a CVT better than automatic or manual?

The biggest advantage of the CVT over automatic or manual units is its ability to provide power without shifting while accelerating or driving up a hill, for example. Because the CVT transmission operates without any physical gears, it has an infinite number of ratios, making it the most fuel-efficient technology.
