I have a short commute so I could take the hit in efficiency, but obviously toasting trannys is no fun (on the plus side my tranny's brand new). So maybe it's just a matter of finding the right engine size match.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8298681040321161443.post-67687672935399466232012-12-10T15:05:34.982-08:002012-12-10T15:05:34.982-08:00I did use an automatic transmission for my 1996 Ci...I did use an automatic transmission for my 1996 Civic, but don't expect decent efficiency or performance. The autos/CVTs can't take much torque, I blew my first auto running over 125 ft-lbs through the transmission, so 500 AMPs through a DC motor is the best those transmissions can take. They are also less than 70% efficient compared to the manual when using an electric motor.David Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686967703336333038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8298681040321161443.post-2999001436704552592012-12-03T06:47:15.614-08:002012-12-03T06:47:15.614-08:00David,

I have a 2005 hch with cvt and would like to think about future conversion to ev but not sure if the cvt would work.Greg Gablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443005717226487859noreply@blogger.com
