Question

Technician A says that a continuously variable transmission is an automatic transmission that does not shift gears. Technician B says that a continuously variable transmission has a maximum of six distinct gear ranges. Which technician is correct?

Answer 1

Only Technician A

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuously variable transmission (CVT) does not shift gears because it simply doesn't have gears. It instead uses 2 pulleys which change constantly and continuously in size, and they are linked by a belt. Continuously variable transmission (CVT) is automatic transmission as mentioned in the question above, largely due to the power the belt continuously transmits, making the vehicle's engine work in the optimum power range.

While Technician B saying, that a continuously variable transmission has a maximum of six distinct gear ranges, which is not correct because continuously variable transmission (CVT) works with an unlimited number of gear ratios within a fixed range.
