I was looking at the technical literature about the CR-V's CVT transmission and pondered this question... why didn't Honda use a set of gears to connect the two pulleys instead of a steel belt. Think about it... timing gears have been used to actuate valves for a very long time -- long before timing chains or belts. I wonder why they couldn't use a vertical set of gears to drive the CVT transmission? Cost? Using gears instead of a steel belt -- to drive the transmission pulleys -- would allow the transmission to handle considerably more load than a steel belt.
