He made a video a while ago about that. Check his youtube channel
Explained basically it can change the gear ratio without changing gear. It stands for something like continuously variable transmission.
Like a moped or a snowmobile
It’s awful for performance cars
It sucks because it’s designed for economy, a performance CVT would be unfairly fast
Engineering Explained Do you think that the launch gear was also created due to the reliability issues associated with CVTs? Since most of the stress placed on a CVT occurs during acceleration from a stop, the gear would reduce stress and therefore reduce wear.
