Sport Mode, and paddle shifters. The key to the Dynamic Shift CVT’s distinct performance feel is a gearset used as a “first” gear for start-off acceleration, before seamlessly
I also didnt know about the Prius planetary CVT until John mentioned that it was not belt driven like most others and your link showed it in detail. Great site if I do say so myself.___Jchan2, I havent heard back from the 03 Prius E-Bay purchaser so far?
"I think you forgot that Accord also uses an axle ratio (the overall gear ratio would be much higher than just the gear ratio)"
These three power sources are harnessed to the front wheels via a planetary gearset that behaves like a continuously variable automatic transmission. To further save fuel, the gas engine runs the Atkinson cycle, and reverse movement is handled purely on electricity. As on the Prius hybrid, the ...
Toyota Hybrids, TMK, use a planetary gear set as the “transmission”. It’s not like a traditional CVT with belts and pulleys. It is it’s own thing. And it is very unique to Toyota. With that said, Toyota also make a traditional CVT. But they use it for mainly ICE nor hybrid...
