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.
The automatic transmission, introduced in 1939, switches to the optimum gear without driver intervention except for starting and going into reverse. The type of automatic transmission used on current American cars usually consists of a fluid device called a torque converter and a set of planetary gears. The torque converter transmits the engineâs power to the transmission using hydraulic fluid to make the connection.
