@@johngerdes1474 Exactly. Toyota's E-CVT is made up of 2 electric motors and a planetary gearset and maybe some clutches. It is, however nothing like a traditional CVT which transmits it's power through 2 sets of conical pullies via a chain or steel multi-toothed belt. The automotive industry has a bad habit of dumbing down descriptions of transmissions, even calling DCT's automatic transmissions, giving your average car buyer the impression that a DCT drives just like a traditional band/clutch/planetary gearset hydraulic automatic transmission when they are vastly different.

It's important to note that hybrid CVT transmissions don't use a pushbelt system. They use two motor-generators with clutch packs to control the speed of the output shaft through planetary gears. They are dead simple and prove to be a solid design. Ford has used it since they first started using a CVT hybrid. Any eCVT is just a geared CVT with no belts and pulleys.

Says a lot about the importance of naming and branding. For something that has absolutely nothing to do with a regular CVT, they should have called it something completely different, a name that's nothing like any transmission before it (like "hybrid balancing drive" or something). Then when people wonder what it is, they'd research and see how cool the system is. Instead they see eCVT and think "eww a CVT, I heard those belt systems suck" and dismiss the car as an unreliable piece of garbage. I know because I almost did that, and then curiosity got the better of me, plus I wanted to learn how a hybrid system works.

CVTs are sort of like EV batteries. Both are great ideas, but just need a little more development. And have only needed a little more development for over a hundred years. You're spot on with "lifetime fluid." I first heard of this with Chrysler four speeds in 1989. And they were correct. The fluid would last for 40-50,000 miles before the transmission died. By 1994 after they had improved the transmission, the fluid and dropped the change intervals to 30K for "severe service" we've not replaced another one of those. But we only have 200K on the oldest one so far. The converter clutches don't last that long. I've seen no reason for more than 6 speeds except to squeeze out very marginal mileage gains to satisfy EPA mileage requirements. And those mileage requirements pay no attention to the cost of running the car when you have to buy and maintain a 9 0r 10 speed wonder. Same with CVTs as you note. Any marginal mileage you gain is far more than offset by the cost of maintaining the transmission.

I was very wary of CVTs until 2017 when I needed to buy a used car. I found a 2013 Accord EX. I was amazed at how well the CVT worked and I still love it. At 140,000 miles and one fluid change the CVT has been flawless. The Accord has a Sport mode that changes the character of the car from a quiet economical cruiser to something more like a sports sedan. Infinitely variable gearing is awesome the way Honda does it.

It looked like the side of a toilet paper roll with an arm that moved in and out on that spinning paper disk with speed. An early "automatic" as it had no clutch except to stop. It also used a glow plug instead of a spark plug. A shaft of copper that was heated by a pilot light on the outside of the motor.

There have been some rare cases, though, where the car shudders. I think it's a problem with the computer not being able to decide whether it should apply more throttle or stay in a higher gear.

One year later at 85000 miles roughly the transmission went on me cost me $5,000 to get it replaced and I couldn't even get a new one because of supply issues I had to get a used one.

That's because he has no idea what he's talking about. For years now he's been putting out videos that imply the cvt in a hybrid is anything like the cvt in a non-hybrid. An eCVT is like an automatic transmission with the clutch replaced by an electric motor. The electric motor spins a part of a planetary gear to vary the gear ratio. There is a 2nd electric motor that can also drive the wheels directly. The WeberAuto channel has a video taking apart a ford hybrid transaxle and other videos explaining how hybrids work.

Recently I got into manual transmissions. Main reason was the feeling of the car. Usually with automatic cars it takes about 1-3 seconds for the computer to decide whether I am accelerating or not. They say automatics are faster and they are, but they still take 1-3 seconds to decide for you. With manual, the acceleration is right between your feet.1 second and you will feel the instant depending on how fast or slow you wanna go. In summary, automatics are faster but they have lag. Both, CVT and Automatics lag (I've driven both)

Interesting perspective on CVT. All the cars I've had over the years, from a two-speed automatic 1963 Ford Falcon, up to the 2010 Ford Escape hybrid, have had some form of AT. In those years, I've had to have full AT rebuilds on the old Falcon, a 2002 Nissan Patrol, and a 2003 Honda Pilot.The others have been trouble free, including the Escape with CVT. My favorite was the CVT Escape. It felt like a sports car to me - when passing, I could just stomp on the gas and not worry that it was going to redline because of shifting too far down.
