The Variations Of CVT Transmissions

Nissan Versa CVT Transmission

For starters, we have what is known as the Toroidal CVT system. This particular system uses power rollers instead of belts and discs. Though the parts seem very different, they are basically different versions of what you find in the belt and pulley system. In the end what you get is still a Continuously Variable Transmission.

In a Toroidal CVT,

  • One disc is connected to the engine, just like a driving pulley.
  • The second disc is connected to the drive shaft, just like the driven pulley.
  • Rollers, positioned between the discs, function like belts. They are responsible for transmitting power.

The wheels in this system rotate along their axes. They rotate around a horizontal axis and tilt (in/out) around a vertical axis. This allows the wheels to come in contact with the discs.

When the wheels come in contact with the center of the driving disc, they should contact the rim of the driven disc. This cause speed to reduce and torque to increase. In the opposite scenario, the speed increases and the torque goes down. So, with the wheels simply tilting, we have incremental changes in gear ratio.  This ultimately results in instant changes of the gear ratio.

A CVT transmission is a dream to drive; even if it’s in a used car. So, why don’t you get in touch with New Jersey State Auto Auction and find yourself a nice, pre-owned CVT vehicle?

How a Sequential Gearbox Works

Sequential Gearboz

 

Sequential gear transmission is a type of manual transmission that allows the rider to select gears in an order or sequence. Unlike traditional manual gear transmission, it does not allow the rider to skip gears. This technique of switching gears is particular to this type of gear transmission which requires a selector shaft to shift gears up or down. Sequential transmission has become popular in motorcycles and high-performance cars that are used in motorsports.

 

Overview of the function of sequential transmission

Sequential manual transmission is advantageous because it enables the rider to select the gear directly before or after the gear that is currently engaged. In traditional transmission or H-pattern transmission, the ride has to pull back the shift lever to change to a higher gear or push it forward to move to a lower gear. In true sequential transmission, a ratchet mechanism is used to convert the shift lever’s before and after motion into a rotary motion. This motion turns a selector shaft that has three or four grooves etched around its circumference. The selector forks run through these grooves and they select the next required gear. The selector forks can function directly or using selector rods or pins.

 

These sequential gearboxes are used in most modern motorcycles because it is too inconvenient to use the conventional H-pattern shifter, which also requires a lot more space within the motorcycle’s frame. It also gives the rider complete control over the gear shifter.

Tips on Making the Transmission Last Longer

The transmission is an important piece of machinery in your vehicle. In fact, it is only second to your vehicle’s engine. The repairs as well as replacing the part is a costly affair. Take care of it properly and you will be able to avoid unnecessary repairs and extend the life of your vehicle’s transmission. Following tips will help you to take care of the part properly.

  • Service the transmission periodically, every 2 years or 30,000 miles. Do an overall transmission flush (including cooler lines, transmission cooler, and the torque converter) every 40,000 miles. If possible, make bands adjustment every 60,000 miles. This may be costly, however, in the long run, it will be worth it.
  • The fluid can go a long way in extending the life of your transmission. Check the fluid on a regular basis. If you are using a petroleum-based fluid, consider upgrading to synthetic fluid. They hold up much better to heat. Over a longer period of time, they hold up much better to their properties as well. Keep in mind that it is vital to use the right type of fluid for your vehicle.
  • Add an additional filter to the cooler line. It will help to provide an extra protection to the fluid from contaminants.
  • A transmission cooler of good quality, preferably one with a built-in fan, will provide extra protection to the transmission. Heat is bad for transmission. Keeping the transmission as cool as possible will help to prolong its life. It is also important to maintain the cooling system. Service it every 2 years. Maintenance should include radiator cap pressure test, thermostat check, inspection of belts and hoses, checking for damage and leaks, checking the coolant levels, and antifreeze replacement.
