you as the driver do not change gears they are constantly changing themselves depending on the speed you are driving hence the name Constantly Variable Transmission. hope this helps. more info just ask

What does the CVT transmission do?
CVT stands for continuously variable transmission. This is the type of transmission that can switch between an infinite number of gear ratios steplessly. In doing so, the CVT provides better gas mileage.
What is the meaning of cvt on automatic transmission?
A CVT is a type of automatic transmission that is very different from normal auto transmissions. CVT stands for Continuously Variable Transmission. The theory behind CVT is that there are infinite gear combinations. There are no set "gears". What I mean by this is your normal auto transmission will have 3,4, 5 up to 8 specific gears. The transmission finds the right gear and then move up or down to the next set gear depending on your driving needs. Regardless of how smooth an automatic transmission is there will still be a momentary loss of power when the gears shift. Not so in a CVT CVT's have no set gears. They start a high ratio to get you started and then roll along a cone "continuously" changing the ratio, with no power loss and "infinite" combinations, giving fuel economy increases and super smooth acceleration. The downside to CVT is the add weight.
How can a CVT have a manual shift gate if a CVT means the 1 gear is continuous?
Since a CVT is capable of an almost infinite ratio of gears, it can emulate the ratio of gears that a normal manual 5-speed or 6-speed transmission has. The software on the car's ECU can do this.
What is cvt fluid?
CVT means continuously variable transmission and CVT fluid is transmission fluid for such a transmission.
What is CVT transmission?

Can you use cvt gearbox oil in a transmission of a mini cooper?
If it is a CVT transmission then yes you can use cvt gearbox oil in a mini cooper.
What is a cv transmission?
Actually it is the continuously variable transmission (CVT). Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, continuously variable transmissions don't have a gearbox with a set number of gears, which means they don't have interlocking toothed wheels. The most common type of CVT operates on an ingenious pulley system that allows an infinite variability between highest and lowest gears with no discrete steps or shifts. This is all done with pulleys and not with gears although the ratio does change just like in a regular transmission. Click the link.
Do trucks have a cvt transmission?
No
What is the difference between manual transmission automatic transmission and Continuously Variable Transmission?
As I understand it: Manual: There are a set # of gears (usually 4-6) and you switch between them as required. Automatic: Again a set # of gears (usually 3-5), the transmission switches them automatically, based on current speed and other variables CVT: Instead of having a set # of gears, there is a belt (or chain?) between the only 2 "gears" that exist. Difference being that 1 of those "gears" changes it's circumfrence, giving it an unlimited # of gear ratios. The transmission determines what the appropriate gear ratio should be, based on speed, how hard you press the pedal, load, etc. Hope this helps.
Definition of manual transmission?
Hi, Transmission that requires the operator to manually switch gears. Peace, crigby
Is Honda CR-V rd1 gear box cvt?
Hi, mine is not CVT and am not sure if others are. However, I have a problem with it. Gears are slipping normally this happens when I stop at the traffic light. Sometimes the car fails to move completely until I switch it off and then switch it on again then it moves. How could I fix this problem?
Why won't Automatic transmission switch gears in 2000 Ford Ranger?
mine does
