I have searched all over the internet for any information on this.

I have a 2002 Buick Century and I love the car, great mileage with no mods, yet. The transmission is beginning to give me problems after 70,000 miles and I am wondering, since I will probably need to work on it anyway, if it is possible to replace my 4 speed automatic transmission with a continuously variable transmission.

I can't see any reason this could not be done, granted it might be a lot of work, and if I need to fix the car anyway I would like to eek out any possible efficiency I can.

There also doesn't seem to be any downside to a CVT either, but, then again, I don't know much about this stuff.

The plusses seem the be better efficiency and fewer moving parts. CVTs just seem like the better of the two designs.

I'd really like to do this, can anyone tell me why it could or could not be done?

thanks
