Hi, all. Happy Resurrection Day! It may be a dumb question, but I'm wondering if anyone has experimented with mating a OM617 to a Nissan CVT out of a Murano or other model that produces more horsepower and torque? Seems to me (a tyro) that keeping the OM617 at its best power range with a CVT could be a great way to move along if the auto trans dies. Anyone with thoughts on the matter?
Cheers
Perhaps the Audi CVT could be adapted, as it's a longitudinal design?
Though, I've never considered how CVTs are controlled (though I suppose somebody with enough talent and free time will create a CVT controller out of an Arduino at some point), the primary issue with the Murano and many other CVTs are the fact they are used on vehicles with transverse engines.

That would be cool, but I'm sure it would take a lot of knowledge about the system and electronics that run the cvt. We have a Massey Ferguson 8690 with a CVT or dyna-VT in their language
