[QUOTE="sniper_101, post: 134699, member: 697"] Always wondered this, but any reason why a CVT (continuously variable transmission) hasn't caught on for a performance diesel application? Reliability and development being the #1 issue I'm guessing, but from the reasons I can think of, would open up a whole new world of 1/4 mile times and sled pulling. I know Mitsu or Nissan used/uses it in one of their cars, (I think a Lancer or something), but from what I've heard, it sucks. So maybe the technology on them just hasn't progressed or been worked on enough for the automotive world yet. For all I know there isn't really such a thing yet, or is there? Just wanted to see what others thought of this or if others pondered this before as well, etc. No time consuming shifting, no boost loss and keeping the engine in it's exact power-band . . . who wouldn't love that! :poke: [/QUOTE]
