No fucking way! Closes and shoves for downshifts? Fancy!
Po fly - this means he only has one forward gear and half of reverse. On the left side.
yeah, that's for a traditional 4 speed autotragic.Agreed. No idea, just reporting what I saw on the interwebs. It looks a bit nutz. But not entirely. Get rid of races with ball bearings and playing games with fluid that way. Use a bunch of solenoid-controlled valves.
What is this shiite? Everybody selling these 6 packs. Is there a maintenance schedule - 2 a year?

The solenoids on the valve body are intriguing.
The subaru CVT is like the old DoAll (IIRC) band saw "gearbox" where the effective gear ratio is dictated by how close the pulley sheaves are together on the input and output shafts
edit: pulleys are on either side of the metal chain.
I edited because I don't really understand those dark magic boxes.
Fly has a cvt with 6-8 ratios.
And it seems that the VAG cable I got doesn't support FreeSSM in my model car. I was hoping that I would be able access TCM codes myself on the cheap, but no such luck. Apparently I need a Tactrix OpenPort 2.0, which is $100.

Nope, development continues. Last version was released in 2014, but if you compile it yourself you'll have all the latest fixes.

I have no idea what any of the shit does, but there are 3 solenoids on the valve body (all the same part no). Bidding is at 3. Do we hear a 4?

The Corolla is one we’ve been looking at for sure. So far Kia Souls have been the strongest contender (surprisingly reliable) and I’ve been pushing Scion xB and Honda CR-Vs and Civics.
Kias are pretty capable for their lineage, though I tend to overlook them ever since they became a leasing company for 19 y/o who want their big V8 sedans.
You can't go wrong with any of those, it'll just come down to personal preference, IMO.
