Be interested to see that additional thread. I wasn't going to comment, but when I read your original post, I was sick to my stomach, because my CVT doesn't act like that at all. It constantly hunts for the range it wants to be in, and overall has just been a bad experience for me. I miss my 5MT so much more since buying this stupid CVT replacement.
