To all of you who are saying that CVTs are boring and regular automatics are better and more fun to drive, why not just buy a manual and drive properly, without complaining. Because using your logic every single automatic is boring.
I feel like cvt's are overrated...just like electronic TB's...I can see the appeal of not having to shift gears or worrying about your POS automatic tranny that no one seems to make reliable anymore. Does anyone know if these cars can be modified without damaging the CVT, I'm looking at a 07 with one and I've heard the CVT's can't handle torque well
and keep repeating the process. It won't harm the transmission, but it will keep torque in the powerbands, instead of losing the torque when its redlined. I can go 0 to 120 far quicker than in this video.
I have a 2007 3.5 altima with the CVT, I didn't like how it worked at first, until I learned how to cheat how it works. Keeping it in drive (D) and just flooring it loses all its power after about 50 mph. The way to make it fast is to keep it in D until it redlines, then slap it to the left so its in the sport shifter mode. The rpms will drop back down to about 5K, then slap it back into drive and keep it floored! once it goes back to redline, slap the shifter over again,
@driftx2 no it won't, it'll probably change the ratio after you accelerate and start cruising to the most efficient possible ratio. so your RPM would probably be a lot lower. more efficient than a manual transmission car in overdrive.
@Candelora87 The reason the engine is pegged at 6 KRPM is because that's where its powerband is. Engines make peak power at a certain RPM. When you're trying to accelerate the quickest, you want to keep your engine in its powerband. That's why people like having more gears in a MT, so they can shift and keep the engine in the best RPM possible. With a CVT, it just STAYS in the powerband instead of having to shift through 2,3,4,5,6,7 etc.
The cvt is truly ingenious and is the most perfect concept for a transmission. Yet I can't help but wonder how many problems will be encountered. I'm sure it's here to stay, but will probably require technical upgrades.
wht is the top speed? i have an 07 altima 3.5SE, i have gotten up to 130 but it didnt shut down. anybody knows what speed it shuts down at? its stock btw
@bmxmotocross Continously Variable Transmission. It's like an automatic except you dont have gears changing. The car has an infinite amount of gear ratios, and the engine and transmission are always working at the best possible ratio. So say you need to do a 0-60 the engine will rev to its max and the transmission doesnt change gears, but if your just in the city the car doesnt usually go beyond 3000 RPM
It would be boring to run full throttle with the car at redline the whole time, I guess it's personal preference, but it is a nice car to have. Any other questions buddy? ok...
That's funny cause you have no videos, for all I know you are some punk 10 year old who has no idea what a CVT transmission is, let alone how upload a video. Lets see some of your video's buddy. Internet gangster you are.

CVTS suck. theres so many problems with them let alone they arent covered under the warranty. So if it breaks down, ur F**KED. Its more money to change that transmission then a regular gear transmission.
Stick with a car that has gears unless you want to run into problems later on, then you can choose a CVT.
@royboy136461 Not covered under warranty? Get off your drugs mate, Nissan covers 2004-2011 year models CVT up to 200.000 KM'S/120,000 miles or 10 years. The rest are covered under normal warranty, if you choose basic 3 years 60,000 kms or 5 years 100,000 kms.
I own one, hate it,. You cant excelerate and have it change ratio unless you let off on the gas or manual shift which is BS drops 250 rpm, fake illusion,. Your helpless to the transmission,. Note to criminals,. Never steal a car with a CVT trans if you are going to rob a bank and be a get away driver,. Your F*&Ked.

so... who is the do gooder jerk off that flagged this video???? nothing wrong going on here... he might be on a track or he might be in a different country where adults can drive like adults.. bah go hang yourself. nice video... good visual on the way the tranny works in high rpm
I wonder what kind of mileage you all are going to get out of these Trannys, I would think the chains and cones may wear out quickley. I wonder how this thig really looks on the inside, how does a motorcycle chain and those cones handle 300HP??, you would they would rip apart. Must be an amazing design, simple principle. I had actually thought of the idea for meshing cones as a cvt on my own years ago, I figured the cones would have gear teeth and mesh, not sure how that could work
i've always wondered why my altima shifts so weird when i punch the gas. i thought that someone stuck new gears in it before i bought it! this explains it haha.
lol wow thats interesting, imagine if it was louder with a turbo it would sound like a jet or something. Id be the one next to him saying whens he gonna shift? lol
@v1per808 How about no! Shits boring regardless. My friend has one and even with the "shifting" wannabe manual mode the car sucks. The car isn't slow by any means but it's boring, don't go trying to say it's fun cuz it's a family car and it's not all that fun. I like nissan I own one but would not get none of this cvt nonsense.
The nissan CVT is the best in the business and they guarantee that the CVT will last for more than 100,000 miles, thats why they boost the transmission warranty. Even its a belt, it won't break. I think the CVT is great on the altima, but not in subaru or some other damn hybrids. Also its lighter and less maintenance than a 5 or 6 speed transmission.
In a standard transmission, you have your number of gears, each gear is bigger around than the gear before it. This is expressed in gear ratios. If your 1st gear ratio is 1.11, then for every 1.11 turns of first gear, the output shaft of the transmission turns once. Smaller gears give more torque, and larger gears give more speed. The CVT is a single gear that is different sizes in different parts, so it can act as a small gear or large one without a change in RPMs or shifting
@whiteraider it does 60 miles (100 kilometres) in 6.6 seconds so i wouldn't call it fucking slow. the V6 has 270 horses. it looks like it's slow though, because of the CVT, and that's why i hate it :P
dude seriously WTF?!?! Why are CVTs so damn slow after 60? I times your 0-60 0-80 and 0-100. 6.5 10.4 and 16.5 A stock auto 2005s times are 6.3 10.0 15.4 I thought CVT was supposed to be a good thing.
@Callum027 So why would the revs stay constant at 6000Rpm accelerating from 40mph to over 120mph? Seems like a CVT to me as that's the whole concept of it.
If this were a normal automatic transmission then they would need to have some serious work done on it. Did you not notice there were no gear gifts at all?
I have an '03 Mitzy with CVT. At 140km the belt broke. No failsafe get you home gear. I was walking. I always felt I was wasting gas doing 5000rpm at 70kph until the thing 'caught up'. The gearbox weighed v liitle though.
The CVT can put the engine at ANY rpm it wants regardless of the speed u're going (cause it can do ANY gear ratio).
U can put the rpm either in the eco zone or in the power zone, and stay there regardless of gear changes.
From a "pure" perspective this is more efficient and goes faster than auto and *manual* boxes, however in real life the box itself eats some power and generates heat, more so in auto than manual.
Wow that's sad!! Ha ha you really think that's fast?? My 02 accord w/3300 pounds and had a auto 2.3 4 banger with mild mods and it would do 0-80 in 12 seconds and it was slow!! lol my gmas electric wheel chair would beat yur pos altima!! HONDA POWER BITCHES!!
@CRXGasGas300 Its just showing how cvt works and how it performs. And if an altima is such a pos why are you watching videos of a altima and why are commenting on a car that you dont like? So,why are talking bout a car that you probaly never been in or driven? Before you say something yes i have an altima i had a 1994,2003,2008 so i know altimas

@KamZ94 So if you accelerate normal, the CVT can hold the engines RPMs where it has it's highest efficency (Usually around the point of max. torque). So theoretically it's MORE fuel efficient than a conventional gearbox. The only problem of CVTs is their friction which causes heat and wear.
@KamZ94 First of all you have to understand how a CVT works. In this video, the engine stays at very high rpm because the driver wantet full acceleration / pedal to metal. With a CVT, your RPMs don't depend on the gear you are in like with a conventional transmission. The RPMs depend on how much gas you give it / how much power you want the engine to give to the wheels.
I think CVT Transmission is not reliable.. because it's got a belt inside. The meaning is that you have to take care of it, like with baby: not to accelerate gas too hard, try to drive quietly so it will have longer life. I think CVT perfect for old people. And by the way, I would fall asleep without shifting! :)
@TIMOSHINA Yeah, but it has a 10yr warrenty. And you can mess around and break it like you could with an auto. Unless u do the Neutal and drop it in Drive. But u cant put it 1 and let it stay there. It has L and D. So its almost impossible. Almost....
@TIMOSHINA With CVT your closer to the engines maximum power speed for longer, and you don't have shift times so it's actually a lot faster. Some of the old designs had rubber belts which needed replacing but now they use cones or metal belts. The only reason they don't sell is becuase they don't feel fast because they don't have gear changes.
CVT is not reliable? I am pretty sure that if it was not reliable NIssan would not have extended the warranty to 200,000km/120,000 miles/10 years (whichever comes first) for models 2003-2010.
@TIMOSHINA ok and so the early automatics never had a belt or chain inside them? do a little research before you comment and stop watching videos that you dont like. Fucking retard.
@CoChicken1337 i drive very maturely actually. In mixed driving my last tank of fuel was 37.8 mpg and havent gotten a tank below 35 for the last 3 tanks. I have 2 unleash sometime for a little fun sometime...
@CoChicken1337 i dnt need 2 cover my tracks. yea i race everyday but its more safe than stupid racing say like dipping in and out of traffic or very excessive speeds. 0-50 races 20-55 races stuff like that and then i resume my gas save mode right after..
@TIMOSHINA The metal belts are actually very strong and reliable, the rubber ones not so much. So I would agree with you and disagree. And about the shifting, would it not be nice to be able to lock your car in its peak power while you accelerate instead of shifting in and out of your power curve?
@TIMOSHINA with all respect towards you i have to say that what u said in ur comment is a big load of crap. I have an altima coupe 3.5 CVT and i tell u there hasint been a single day when i havent floored it all the way down .I NEVER had a problem with it or even a slight weird noise from the engine , works like magic .. Nissan knows how to build their CVT's . The only thing that bothered me slightly is that it is Too smooth , even when u accelerate , it moves fast but its too smooth.
@TIMOSHINA CVT not reliable? Drive quietly? Don't accelerate too aggressively? F1 cars would be using it (The Williams Team produced an F1 CVT transmission in '93), but it got banned by the FIA in 1994 already.
@TIMOSHINA Nissan has actually pioneered this technology and actually its very reliable if u buy it from nissan. I always accelerate hard on the gas some times and i have no problem with it. Plus if ur getting bored with the CVT drive the optional manual mode, way more fun to drive.
The first rule of power is to never cut the engine, this transmission allows you to keep in the powerband from 25mph to as fast as you want.... within reason. I do admit though that separate gears sound more exciting, but power for power, this transmission will win a drag race every time.
@mr3ggroll The type is a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). This type of transmission allows for a large number of gear ratios to be 'glided' through automatically, and is evidenced by the tachometer in the vid. Watch it again, as the tach shows a constant rpm. If you need more information, it's Wikipedia article seems to be pretty accurate.
@mr3ggroll All I know is that I have the same transmission on my Versa and they upgraded my 5 year powertrain warranty to 10 years for free since it's a little expensive to repair. It's fun to drive though.
To all of you who are saying that CVTs are boring and regular automatics are better and more fun to drive, why not just buy a manual and drive properly, without complaining. Because using your logic every single automatic is boring.

@hercules71185 cvts arent that slow for the 2.5 altima
2008 altima 2.5s 0-60 0-80 and 0-100
7.4
13.3
21 sec
2006 altima 2.5s
8.6
15.0
23.3
So yeah cvt is good and i think from 0-100 cvt munches the 2005 altima 3.5se

CVTs are cool if all you care about is economy, but performance is out of the question, they are very delicate transmissions usually using belts

@Callum027 So why would the revs stay constant at 6000Rpm accelerating from 40mph to over 120mph? Seems like a CVT to me as that's the whole concept of it.

If this were a normal automatic transmission then they would need to have some serious work done on it. Did you not notice there were no gear gifts at all?

I have an '03 Mitzy with CVT. At 140km the belt broke. No failsafe get you home gear. I was walking. I always felt I was wasting gas doing 5000rpm at 70kph until the thing 'caught up'. The gearbox weighed v liitle though.

@thewhoissuperb24 It sounds the same as cruising in top gear in a non-CVT car, the engine RPM's drop down to similar levels as any other car.

The CVT can put the engine at ANY rpm it wants regardless of the speed u're going (cause it can do ANY gear ratio).
U can put the rpm either in the eco zone or in the power zone, and stay there regardless of gear changes.
From a "pure" perspective this is more efficient and goes faster than auto and *manual* boxes, however in real life the box itself eats some power and generates heat, more so in auto than manual.

bagawk 1 year ago
@KamZ94 So if you accelerate normal, the CVT can hold the engines RPMs where it has it's highest efficency (Usually around the point of max. torque). So theoretically it's MORE fuel efficient than a conventional gearbox. The only problem of CVTs is their friction which causes heat and wear.
MrLowAltitude 1 year ago
@KamZ94 First of all you have to understand how a CVT works. In this video, the engine stays at very high rpm because the driver wantet full acceleration / pedal to metal. With a CVT, your RPMs don't depend on the gear you are in like with a conventional transmission. The RPMs depend on how much gas you give it / how much power you want the engine to give to the wheels.
MrLowAltitude 1 year ago
@KamZ94 This video is WOT... at cruising, the RPM's stay very low and CVT's get great economy...

I think CVT Transmission is not reliable.. because it's got a belt inside. The meaning is that you have to take care of it, like with baby: not to accelerate gas too hard, try to drive quietly so it will have longer life. I think CVT perfect for old people. And by the way, I would fall asleep without shifting! :)

@TIMOSHINA Yeah, but it has a 10yr warrenty. And you can mess around and break it like you could with an auto. Unless u do the Neutal and drop it in Drive. But u cant put it 1 and let it stay there. It has L and D. So its almost impossible. Almost....
Camry0088 1 year ago
@TIMOSHINA With CVT your closer to the engines maximum power speed for longer, and you don't have shift times so it's actually a lot faster. Some of the old designs had rubber belts which needed replacing but now they use cones or metal belts. The only reason they don't sell is becuase they don't feel fast because they don't have gear changes.
Chunderitis 1 year ago
CVT is not reliable? I am pretty sure that if it was not reliable NIssan would not have extended the warranty to 200,000km/120,000 miles/10 years (whichever comes first) for models 2003-2010.

JaisenJames 1 year ago
@TIMOSHINA The metal belts are actually very strong and reliable, the rubber ones not so much. So I would agree with you and disagree. And about the shifting, would it not be nice to be able to lock your car in its peak power while you accelerate instead of shifting in and out of your power curve?

@TIMOSHINA with all respect towards you i have to say that what u said in ur comment is a big load of crap. I have an altima coupe 3.5 CVT and i tell u there hasint been a single day when i havent floored it all the way down .I NEVER had a problem with it or even a slight weird noise from the engine , works like magic .. Nissan knows how to build their CVT's . The only thing that bothered me slightly is that it is Too smooth , even when u accelerate , it moves fast but its too smooth.

v1per808 1 year ago
The first rule of power is to never cut the engine, this transmission allows you to keep in the powerband from 25mph to as fast as you want.... within reason. I do admit though that separate gears sound more exciting, but power for power, this transmission will win a drag race every time.

mr3ggroll 1 year ago
@mr3ggroll The type is a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). This type of transmission allows for a large number of gear ratios to be 'glided' through automatically, and is evidenced by the tachometer in the vid. Watch it again, as the tach shows a constant rpm. If you need more information, it's Wikipedia article seems to be pretty accurate.
