    Simulated Gears on CVT:
    Like say for example the Honda Jazz MK1 CVT +7, you can switch to manual mode and have 7 simulated gears to work with (7 ratios), cool to play around with and also good to get the RPM up when you are planning on overtaking

    CVT Low Mode
    Like on a normal CVT car in real life you would stick the car in L and when you accelerate it will rev to the redline and then start to change up its ratios, so it still keeps accelerating.

    Currently the L mode in BeamNG sticks the transmission into the lowest gear possible and leaves it there allowing it to stop accelerating, so its inaccurate

    Automatic Transmission Modes link to ESC Modes
    Like say for example in Sport mode for ESC the transmission follows suit and goes into S mode

    Something I would love to see in Beam are simulated Powder Clutches like the Justy and Vivio ECVT have: no creep in Drive because the clutch isn't magnetised, slight judder when you press the accelerator to drive off.

    Judder when you use the accelerator? If you are smooth when applying the pedal you should move away smoothly, unless you have a transmission fault

    Powder Clutches have that, because the metal powder needs to magnetise before it can transfer torque.
