I believe the production car CVTs are hydraulically controlled by a computer. The signal that goes to the hydraulic cylinder is probably based on engine RPM, axle RPM, throttle position & possibly change in throttle position. There may be position sensors(lvdt) involved as well. you may be able to adjust a signal going into the computer from one or more of the sensors if the mfr. used seperate engne & tranny cpu's.

I wish you luck.
