Not everyone can live without that red mark in the ledger, but we'll help you find out if you might be a candidate. Where I live in Atlanta, the necessity of owning a car is highly subjective. In some areas, it's not possible to get by without a car, as everything is miles away.
A continuously variable transmission (CVT) (also known as a single-speed transmission, stepless transmission, pulley transmission, or, in case of motorcycles, a twist-and-go) is an automatic transmission that can change seamlessly through a continuous range of effective gear ratios.
A continuously variable automatic transmission, or CVT, uses pulleys and a belt to automatically and seamlessly change gear ratios to maintain engine speed in an optimum range.In contrast, a conventional automatic transmission has a fixed number of gears, from four to as many as seven or eight.ith some transmission/engine combinations, the changes in engine speed can be dramatic with each shift, and the shifts can be slow or abrupt. A CVT changes gear ratios in a linear fashion based on engine speed, so you probably will never notice it changing gears.
