>>29040429i just bought a mazda3. i am sitting in it now to remove the TCU. i didnt buy a civic because i hate the cvt in my 4 wheeler despite the good reviews. i want a valve body. i want clutches. i want this shit to look like magic.
Are belt and pulley CVTs actually bad or is it just the manufacturer that makes them that way? I see no reason why they couldn't be designed to have a front cover and have access to the belt/pulleys for easy replacing.
>>29040429>CVTits not a CVT it's a differential
>>29040429Yes, eCVT's are amazing. By getting an automatic you've already dispensed with the engagement aspect, might as well be efficient.
>>29040465You'll notice he said eCVT, not simply 'CVT'. They're completely different. You're a retard for not realizing that.
>>29040484>might as well be efficient.and lighter and smaller and with fewer moving parts.
>>29040497eCVT is some made up trademark to rebrand their HSD which is still the original design they settled with the inventor for outside of court like 25 years ago. It's still to this day a differential with two electric motors.
>>29040507Thanks for confirming you don't understand the difference.
>>29040510You are an nigger your case is dismissed
>>29040429With how dogshit CVTs are they really should call eCVTs PHTs instead.
I love my ecvt, it's nice to be able to constantly accelerate in the most efficient power band
