until very recently CVTs were only used on small cars with small engines as the torque of bigger engines caused problems of some sort. i dont remember the specifics.


therefore, unless you rob a fairly new nissan murano or audi of its CVT to relocate to your car, you will fubar your CVT in no time.

not only that, but they will need a change to the ECU as well.
