Cvt trannys weren't meant for torque. They are belt and chain driven. They also require a lot maintenence and their parts are hard to find. I doubt they can produce a sufficient amount of torque or if any without breaking some thing quick. You actually won't even feel any torque because there is no transission in between gear because there is no gears.What about CVT's. They don't have a torque converter. Would you say it's more benefical than the standard auto and almost on par with a manual. In other words, can it handle the torque.
