But what I'm saying is that the tranny would never actually "shift" but instead would gradually change the ratios while still delivering power and keeping the engine at whatever it makes it peak power at. So, you would be able to floor it, and have it keep it at 5000 all the way from 10 mph to 100 mph without ever stopping the delivery of power. I thought that CVTs were just like other transmitions, but just never shifted into a specific gear ratio.
