Some of the auto transmission cars sold today have many gears.
My wife's BMW has eight gears.
I believe I have seen nine in the specs I've read on other manufacturer websites.
It seems that when you get that many gears there's a whole lot of shifting going on. There have got to be many parts in those transmissions.
For my '18 Forester, the computer runs the CVT with shift points as if it were a traditional automatic. I preferred the previous CVT operations and wonder if this change will affect my mpg's.
