Sorry if the terms "change up/down" misled you into thinking that I
was referring to a conventional gearbox with discrete ratios. I know
that CVT is
continuous. Perhaps I should said "change to a lower/higher ratio";
if not, what term should I have used?


They DO change ratios up and down (it's just that it's *consciously
variable*,

which just shows you know **** all.

No gearbox has ever been claimed to be conscious.
