What is the difference between MT and CVT transmissions?
1 Answers
MT and CVT transmissions differ in their shifting methods: MT is a manual transmission that uses different gear combinations to transmit power, with gear changes achieved by pressing the clutch pedal and manually shifting the gear lever; CVT is a continuously variable transmission that employs a belt and variable-diameter pulleys (primary and secondary) to transmit power, making it an automatic transmission. Methods for maintaining a car's transmission include: 1. Changing transmission fluid every 12 months or 20,000 kilometers; 2. Avoiding coasting in neutral; 3. Regularly checking fluid levels; 4. Not skipping gears when upshifting; 5. Not forcing the transmission into neutral; 6. Not shortening warm-up idling time; 7. Avoiding gear grinding when shifting; 8. Cleaning the transmission; 9. Performing regular maintenance on automatic transmissions.
