I suspect it's some heavy duty drugs that even have me thinking this might be possible, but stranger things have happened, so I figured I'd throw the question to the group here.
When I'm driving my CVT at steady speeds ranging from pretty slow to 60 or so, I "feel" that the engine is just working harder than it should. I can't quite describe the reason, but it's the same sort of feeling you get when you're getting ready to shift a manual to a higher gear.
But... the CVT chooses the RPM/gear ratio using its own magical logic and design, with the only option to actually raise the RPM/torque by going into the "S" mode.
So my question, and please don't laugh... is there any plausable way of shifting the CVT gearing?
Thanks
