CVT Transmission
I have a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and I think I'm having a problem with my transmission. While driving the car, as I speed up the car/transmission is not downshifting. Has anyone had this problem or any suggestions? It's a CVT type transmission.

Has anyone ever heard of the CVT not working right and 'smooth-shifting down' and letting that engine rev up?

Honda uses one in the non-hybrid 4-cylinder Accord too.

I think some day people will see the behavior of today's automatic and standard transmissions as torturing the engines by forcing them to operate outside their most efficient rpm's at both ends of every gear change.

Does anyone have any facts or opinions about doing a flush on the CVT? I've heard mixed opinions about whether they're really needed if you aren't having any issues... that doing a flush can actually dislodge gunk/particles and cause problems. Thanks!
