Constant Velocity Transmition

this type of automatic transmition employs a steal belt and varable cones ( via hydraulic pressure ) to create gear ratios

[TeeDub]

Isnt it actually "Continuously Variable Transmission"?
And I thought it was a series of rubber belts on cones (or is that specific to the Civic?)...
There was a big hubbub over it when it first came out
Nissan Micra
Mitsubishi Mirage
and of course Honda Civic
hehehe
"Adapts to your driving style"
But... its taken its place in the halls of "Great but not particularly useful technology"
such as 4WS and some things i cant thin of right now... =\

Hey TeeDub, That means i'm in the same boat as you..My Civic Shurdder everytime the car changes gear, so now what i have to do is let go off accerlerator at 3k rpm and let the change ... den step on it again.. pretty much like drivin manuel..

[TeeDub]

Hmm... i cant say im having the same problems... but methinks you should heed ECU mans advice on that dealer repair thing
The thing with our case is that there are no signs of unhealthiness watsoever...
Do you pre empt the shifts or do you quickly lift off when you hear the pause to shift... =\
Driving like that must keep you wide awake...
or is urs not CVT? (Wat on earth is LXi???)

What are the symptoms of CVT failure? My car has just started to shudder when taking off from a stand still. It has done 170000km

I just got my car back from local honda service center and they said there is a problem with my start clutch. cost of repair something like $2000!!!!! I said to the guy DAMN!!! he then said to me that he will call honda and ask if they will do anything about it.
What do you guys think? who has had they same problem and how you solved it? cos $2000 sound like a new transmition to me, surly they must be able to just replace the start clutch or something?

[ECU-MAN]

EK was the beggining for CVT in AUDM Hondas then HRV then Jazz

Our old HRV Sport had the CVT gearbox and it was the weirdest thing. I always imagined what a B18cR mated to that would be like
