Will be examined to start in the fundamental differences in the device a conventional automatic transmission and the variator. The main component of classic boxes automatic transmissions is the torque Converter, which corresponds to the conventional clutch and manual transmission is responsible for gear shifting. It is worth noting that he does it always in a timely manner, therefore, reduces engine wear. The CVT is a variation of the automatic transmission, but it has no fixed steps. Have the CVT transmission is missing, it just smoothly and without interruption change the gear ratio. Such boxes are no jerks when starting and during acceleration as the box of the machine.

Remember that the CVTs are equipped with an endless amount of gear, allowing the engine operates in the most advantageous modes. Therefore, the variable-speed drives have a high efficiency of fuel combustion, which is perfectly combined with the average dynamics. The CVTs are completely different, but the best and most common is the V-belt CVT with a pulley of variable diameter. For the CVT uses a special transmission fluid, which must be changed every 100 thousand kilometers. Automatic transmission consumes considerably more fuel and more expensive to maintain, but it has a high smoothness and speed of switching.

Note: in recent years, automakers have become widely used CVTs because they make the cost of cars is much lower. And the infinite number of gears, the CVT becomes inaccessible conventional transmission-automatic. Also, the difference is in the fact that expensive transmission services and increased fuel consumption.
