<h3>The ""Rubber Band"" Effect:</h3>
* **High Maintenance Costs:** Some CVT systems require frequent oil changes and maintenance, which can contribute to higher maintenance costs compared to conventional transmissions.
The concept of a transmission that could seamlessly adjust gear ratios, providing a smooth and continuous power delivery, had long been a dream of automotive engineers. Early attempts to realize this dream involved mechanical systems with complex configurations, often plagued by reliability issues and limited performance.
* **Advanced Materials:** The use of high-strength materials and improved manufacturing processes have significantly enhanced the durability and reliability of CVTs.
* **Engine Braking:** CVTs can also lack the engine braking effect associated with conventional gearboxes, which some drivers find essential for controlling speed on descents.
