CVP transmissions

only if it comes in a clutchless analog manual and can handle sports car levels of torque.

>that doesn't rely on friction
all transmissions rely on friction. its why clutches are rated for only so much torque

come on my dude, you know what I meant.

Any automatic transmission with a torque converter relies on friction

>To efficiently transfer torque, a thin layer of traction fluid flows between the balls. This traction fluid becomes momentarily rigid, allowing the torque to transfer between the balls and discs without slipping. With numerous powerpaths and no abrupt ratio changes, VariGlide technology provides an infinite number of gear ratios for improved shifting, driver comfort, and even greater efficiency when compared to automatic transmissions and CVTs.

yeah, to change the gears (clutches, belts...) but not to transmit power from the front of the transmission to the back, that is all gears

i think you have issue with CVT's being belt driven, not necessarily the friction part.

>but not to transmit power from the front of the transmission to the back, that is all gears

>A torque converter is a type of fluid coupling which transfers rotating power from a prime mover, like an internal combustion engine, to a rotating driven load.

it literally relies on the fluid friction barrier to convert torque and transfer it to the drive shaft

>160 hp max

dropped. come back to me when it can handle 300.

not in the transmission itself

the problem I have with CVTs is that you can't upgrade the amount of torque it can handle with a simple change of a clutch like you can a manual
