What Type of Transmission is Suitable for Aggressive Driving?

[StLaura]

CVT transmissions are suitable for aggressive driving. Prolonged driving at low gears with extremely high speeds, high gears with low speeds, sudden acceleration, and hard braking all fall under the category of aggressive driving for CVT transmissions. Extended periods of aggressive driving can lead to engine oil burning, and in severe cases, may cause brake pad temperatures to rise, reduced braking efficiency, cylinder scoring, or even engine seizure. Below are some precautions regarding CVT transmissions: 1. Hill Rollback: When starting on a slope with a CVT, always use the handbrake for assistance. Otherwise, the CVT transmission may slip during power engagement, leading to vehicle rollback. 2. While Driving: Do not shift the gear lever to P, R, or N while the car is in motion. Although the transmission has a self-protection function, it is best to press the brake and wait until the car comes to a complete stop before shifting gears to avoid damaging the transmission.
