I have a question regarding the autostick feature on the R/T. Is this feature available to increase control of the engine RPMs? I don't mean to sound smart assy about this but isn't the CVT supposed to control the RPMs based on where the throttle is positioned? i.e. If you want more power (passing... or perhaps 1/4 mile
) you push the throttle to the floor and the CVT automatically adjusts to give you the best ratio for best acceleration.
I can see how the autostick feature can give the perception of accelerating faster because of the "shifting" sensation, but does it really make the car acclerate faster or give any other benefits besides being more fun?
I am pretty curious about how this works. I used this feature on a pacifica once but that was with a conventional auto tranny so it was basically manually controlling the gears without depressing a clutch, but with a CVT with no set gear ratios I guess i just don't understand how it works.
Thanks,
Ron
