I’m sorry.

I was joshing with you.

I believe a CVT uses chains or belts.

When I was a kid, my friends and I thought that overdrive was some kind of magic that made a car go really fast.

To the best of my limited automotive knowledge, a CVT doesn’t have an overdrive.

I keep forgetting that not everybody is as weird as me.

I believe most CVTs are overdrive in their highest range.

Heh, WHOOSH! Right over my head! I realized that even though I have a car with one, and used to be a mechanic in a former life, I had never taken the time to actually look it up...

So, I saw this link: Understanding CVT!

I get it now...thank you for putting it in my mind...:)
