What kind of clutch does the Civic have?
1 Answers
The Civic's clutch is a CVT continuously variable transmission. CVT Transmission: CVT refers to a type of automotive transmission, also known as a continuously variable transmission. The difference between a CVT and a stepped transmission is that its gear ratio is not a series of discrete points but a continuous range of values, resulting in excellent fuel economy, power performance, and smooth driving experience, while also reducing emissions and costs. Advantages of CVT Transmission: Since it lacks the gears found in conventional automatic transmissions, the CVT eliminates the gear-shifting process of automatic transmissions, thereby removing the associated gear-shift jolt. As a result, the power output of a CVT transmission is linear, providing an exceptionally smooth driving experience in practice. Theoretically, a CVT's transmission system can have an infinite number of gear ratios, allowing for more flexible gear settings. It also makes it easier to achieve a balance between gear ratio, speed ratio, performance, fuel consumption, and exhaust emissions compared to traditional transmission systems.
