Difference between the AMT and CVT Auto-Transmission in Cars

AMT and CVT are also parts of Transmissions Gears and Shafts. AMT which means Automated Manual Transmission just same as the manual transmission. There is no difference in both these while seeing the principles or the design. In this, the driver doesn’t need to operate the car with the clutch. It is just operated by the Transmission Control Kit(TCU) which has the installation of a calibrated program in it. The limited gear ratio which is served by this AMT is 4/5/6 speed which is same as compared to the manual one. In this, the shift shocks which are felt in the manual transmission cannot be eliminated.

On the other hand, if it is talked about CVT which is Continuous Variable Transmission, the gears are replaced using two diameters. The shape of the variable diameter seemed to be like a metal belt or a pair of opposing cones. The two variable pulleys are input and output shafts in which, the input shaft is connected to the engine while the output one to the wheels. The pulleys diameter becomes large when its halves come closer and as a result, the belt is forced to make a higher ride.

Summary: In Automated Manual Transmission Gears and Shafts the engine doesn’t give the best efficiency as it is not operated at the right speed whereas, the Continuous Variable Transmission is operated at a favourable speed and in return, it gives the best efficiency. AMT doesn’t give a pleasant driving experience as the driving force goes down when the gear is shifted.
