I'm hoping someone in the forum is a CVT expert and could enlighten me/us on the CVT in the current gen VSedan and VNote. I tried Googling this but came back more confused.
I understand the Note comes with the Xtronic CVT, this is a newer generation CVT with the wider drive ratio than previous CVTs.
1. Does the Xtronic CVT used on the Current VSedan/VNote includes the Sub Planetary Gear Set?
2. From my understanding, the Sub Planetary Gear Set has a low and high range. How does this work. i.e. when is it in low and when does it shift to high, and vice versa?
3. Nissan CVTs all use locking torque converters, how does this work, i.e. when does it go to lock up and when does it release?
Just intrigued by this technical innovation and would like to have a better understanding of how it all works.
