Default Re: CVT Transmissions ???

CVT - Constantly Variable Transmission - has two varying sized pullies and a belt, but no manufacturer calls it a belt drive. The idea has been around for a million years. Engine speed can stay constant, road speed changes.

DSG - Double Clutch Gear Box. Manual gear box with two clutches. When one gear and clutch is working, the next gear can be selected at the same time, but its clutch is not activating. When time to change, one clutch disengages the other engages. Very fast gear change, but more correctly, very fast clutch change.
