What does continuously variable transmission in automotive gearboxes mean?
1 Answers
Automotive continuously variable transmission (CVT) refers to a gearbox without fixed gear ratios, and its functions include: 1. Changing the transmission ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variations of the driving wheels, adapting to frequently changing driving conditions and allowing the engine to operate under favorable conditions; 2. Enabling the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the same engine rotation direction; 3. Utilizing neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, facilitating engine startup, idling, and making it easier to shift gears or output power. Maintenance methods for automotive gearboxes include: 1. Regularly changing the transmission fluid; 2. Frequently checking the fluid level; 3. Avoiding coasting in neutral; 4. Skipping gears when upshifting; 5. Not forcing the transmission into neutral; 6. Minimizing the duration of idling to warm up the engine; 7. Preventing gear grinding when shifting; 8. Cleaning the transmission.
