Default Transmission thoughts...

i've noticed a few guys here asking around about transmission 'hang' up or engine lug/power loss

mostly ive just been reading through these discussions. when i experience this it doesnt bother me because i realize you cant have full power and best economy simultaneously...in all driving conditions(up hills etc)

my question is, is this what a variable transmission conquers?
ive only seen bits and pieces of them on commercials and they appear to eliminate lug and bogging down to a 'shift point'. giving you 100% power all the time. i dont know if this is good for economy or not....

anybody knowledgable on these type trannys?

whats really got me thinking is people that are experiencing violent shifts, i dont quite understand what causes this, but thats for another thread.
