CVT-type automatic transmissions are produced by Aisin for hybrid cars Toyota and Lexus. These transmissions have an initial prefix “P” (it means that these transmissions belong to the planetary type). Some people mistakenly believe that the planetary gearbox cannot be a CVT, but it’s wrong. Planetary gearboxes (not all) have a metal chain (analog of a belt in CVT). Even Toyota considers these planetary gearboxes as CVTs and name them as eCVTs. Undoubtedly, the planetary gearbox differs from standard CVTs (on the global scale the planetary gearbox is not so complicated as CVT), but it is still CVT with its problems and repair peculiarities.
