CVT on Maxima or G35 Why Not??
#41
how infinite are the ratios? i know its a fluid motion, like constantly changing... but could the ratio go on forever? if so, do u need a lot of HP with a endless magical gear ratio? (i just wanted to say endless magical gear ratio)
#43
if it has infinite ratios...why would it go up to redline when ur accelerating? wouldnt that be kinda crappy for gas mileage and engine wear? Ive been in a murano with one, and watched it hold redline like that...but since the ratios have no definition, why not keep it at mid RPM range... use a lot of torque and less gas?
#45
once again... why redline? wouldnt u benefit from some torque, if the ratio is changing the engine RPM can stay in the sweet spot... redlining all the time sounds like over kill
#47
well thats the thing, off the line u punch the gas...why doesnt it hold the peak torque ratio? u get less torque when it goes straight up to redline... and it also would use more gas ALL the time.
