Interesting Transmission



Re: Interesting Transmissioin

Maybe nobody has replied since we dont know what a "Transmissioin" is lol:th_laugh-lol3: That looks pretty wild though! I like the idea much better than the CVTs use and they never seemed like they could take a lot of power by design.
 
Man, busted for spelling.

Yeah, I absolutely DESPISE the CVT's and refuse to own a vehicle with one in it. But I will be looking out for one of these IVT's.
 
CVT is Constant Velocity Transmission. I believe Honda/Toyota may use it, I know Ford uses it in a couple vehicles. You'll know you are in a vehicle that has one when you are accelerating and you feel no shift jolt or drop/change in rpm.
 


I don't like CVTs (continuously variable transmissions) because of their weaknesses, but the idea is the same as the IVT. Imagine you stomp the gas, RPMs go to the peak of your power band, and it stays that way throughout acceleration. No shifting, no more worrying about high end or low end. :cool:
 
Wow what a nice break through
Looks very promissing..
Can't wait to see more...
I wonder how it will hold up to a heavy mod car
and under track conditions ...?
