Or the software “shifting” added to cars with a CVT. Typically, they would increase reliability since the engine rpms would fluctuate less, and the transmission would move fairly slowly making minor adjustments. But, since you the acceleration is too smooth and doesn’t have the jerks of typical automatic transmissions, people reportedly didn’t like it so a simulated shifting was added at the expense of efficiency and reliability.
- MerelyMortal 3y agoI hope it's a toggle available to the user. I had an early CVT that did not "shift", and it was great.
