What is CVT Slippage?
1 Answers
CVT transmissions do not rely on gear meshing to transfer power; instead, they use a smooth, stepless speed change by adjusting the cone size, which can lead to slippage during rapid acceleration. The pros and cons of CVT: 1. Pros: The CVT transmission system theoretically offers an unlimited number of gears, allowing for more flexible gear settings. It is easier for CVT to achieve a balance between gear ratios, speed ratios, performance, fuel consumption, and exhaust emissions compared to traditional transmission systems. 2. Cons: It is slightly more expensive than traditional automatic transmissions. Additionally, improper operation increases the likelihood of issues.
