| Answer to: Nissan CVT transmission versus their standard Transmission? Yay or nay? | 15Relevance | 5 years ago | USAFdozerpilot | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Until the technology becomes solid I would never even think about buying a vehicle with a CVT transmission. Nissans jatco is by far the worst but if you do some online reading even Honda’s CVT is riddled with issues. They need more maintenance frequently and they just don’t hold up. I know there are people who take a vehicle with a CVT into the 100k range but it’s a minority compared to the ones that barely make it 100k before complete failure and replacement is needed. Stay with Toyota, the Asin automatics are great for the most part or even better find a m ... | |||||

| CVT is the "wave of the future" for smaller cars. We are stuck. Nissan owners are still reporting failures on newer CVT's. Might want to avoid them for now. Likewise, those Nissan/Jatco CVT's are installed in some other vehicles (Mitsubishi, Jeep ....) | |||||

| 2014 Corolla What CVT Fluid should I use | 15Relevance | 5 years ago | Chevy2toyota | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| My 2014 Toyota Corolla has almost 75,000 miles and I've been thinking about changing the CVT fluid myself. I've noticed that the Aisin CVT FE fluid is much cheaper than Toyota's CVT FE fluid. Would it be safe to use the Aisin fluid? Thanks | |||||
| Answer to: Driving in Low Gear | 17Relevance | 3 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You have a CVT transmission TMK. (TBH, I’m not exactly sure how Low Gear works in a CVT, because technically there are no gears. A CVT can simulate gears, so I will go with that. I’ve never really tried Low Gear on a CVT.) For most drivers, keep the car in Drive The car is smart enough for the most part to figure out what gear to put it in. Especially in a CVT. TBH, I can’t even remember the last time I used Low/First in an automatic. Low gear is for when you are going slow, but need lots of power, like towing or rock crawling. It’s rarely used on highway speeds If you’re going 55 MPH in Low or First Gear for a prolonged time, you’re working the engine wayyy to hard. That is why there is gearing, so your engine can work more efficiently. | |||||
| Answer to: atf type | 17Relevance | 5 years ago | MrBean | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I just got thru chatting with the Valvoline people as well as a Parts technician at out local Toyota Dealership. My 2007 RAV4 does not have a CVT transmission, so the MAXLIFE ATF can be used in my car. The Parts person did say that the 2010 and later models had CVT, so my suggestion would be for you to either go to the Valvoline website and chat with them or call your local Toyota Parts Dealer (have the VIN number ready) and find out whether you have a conventional automatic transmission or one that's a CVT (continuously variable transmission). If it has a CVT then you've got to use the recommended CVT fluid, which I guess is the Toyota WS fluid. If not, then I would go with the Valvoline Maxlife fully synthetic ATF. | |||||
| 2015 Nissan Rogue 52k paid off... what now? | 17Relevance | 5 years ago | mrbill66 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Paid off our 2015 Nissan Rogue 52k miles now. Driving fine, no problems. But we found out that the Jatco CVT problems from the 2008 Rogues carried over to the 2015 (and beyond) Rogues. We want to keep the car because we bought it with the intention of driving it "forever and a day." But a $4,000 replacement CVT is a scary thought if it comes to it. Our question is this: What can we do to keep the car and dramatically reduce a major CVT expense down the road? We don't want to spend 5 more years buying another car if there's something sensible we can do to keep this one. We are thinking that maybe replacing the CVT fluid would make sense, maybe before the 60k miles schedule. And maybe the engine coolant more frequently that scheduled as apparently the big problem is that overheating is the big enemy to these CVT units. Is there anything else you might suggest? Should we consider either a manufacturer extended warranty or aftermarket warranty (and which ones are fair, if known)? Thanks Scotty! | |||||
| Answer to: Current Subaru CVT’s | 17Relevance | 5 years ago | dm4722 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Subaru makes decent CVTs. Probably not as good as Toyota, but I'd say at least close. As long as you do mostly light driving, I wouldn't worry much about the reliability of the trans. I have seen someone make it past 300,000 miles (not kilometers!) on a 2010 Legacy 2.5 with the TR690 CVT, not a single problem. And 2010, being the first year Subaru put the CVT into mainstream production, was the year with the most CVT issues. They have gotten a lot better with these transmissions recently, and while I wish they still used the old reliable Jatco 5 speed, times are changing and the CVT is here to stay. I agree with @iansr that you should follow Subaru of Japan's transmission service interval. Lots of premature CVT failures are caused by degraded fluid, and it doesn't cost much to change it every 30,000 miles as preventative maintenance. You could probably push it to 50,000 miles, just do it is the main message! | |||||
| 04 Civic Hybrid 156k miles Shuddering/Rumbling while accelerating | 17Relevance | 5 years ago | czi50agjb8wa | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Replaced both CV axles (torn boots) & lower ball joints, but noticed immediately after that it was vibrating real bad & that's with both wheels up. Could it be the dreaded shudder that some say can be fixed by draining & filling with Honda CVT transmission fluid or could it be the torque converter or the transmission itself going bad? I did drain & fill the transmission fluid with Valvoline CVT since I saw an Amazon review that said doing that twice fixed his problem. It didn't shudder after I replaced the fluid, only after I replaced the ax ... | |||||

| Hey Scotty so I like Toyota but I also know Honda is reliable. I was trying to figure out if I wanted to buy a brand new Corolla or a brand Honda civic with the 2.0 engine. I like the corollas but I really like the looks better on the Honda civic. I Guess I’m struggling with the Honda Civic lasting as long as the Toyota Corolla….. also it seems from what I have seen that the corollas CVT is better than the civics CVT because the Corolla has the launch gear…. Just wondering your thoughts?? | |||||

| Honda Earth Dreams i-Vtec quick question | 16Relevance | 5 years ago | HondaGuy | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have both a Honda Accord Hybrid Touring 2020 and 2021. Not happy with the 19 inch wheels on the 2021 lost about 5 miles per gallon was averaging almost 50 miles per gallon even 52 miles per gallon on the 2020 when I drove it nicely. Is the dilution factor an issue on these vehicles? I asked the dealer to look to see if the fuel injectors are in place on beneath the cover and they said they were and there was only a solenoid and no high pressure device to inject the fuel. This was the parts department telling me this I just wanted to verify with you ... | |||||
| Answer to: To sell Manual 15 Civic or Not to sell | 16Relevance | 2 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The total cost of ownership of the non-luxury vehicle Honda CRV should be less than the luxury vehicle Lexus RX. . That being said, the Pre-2015 model year Honda CRVs don’t have the CVT transmission and their engines had only port injection (no GDI) - that’s a good thing! Model year 2015 was the first year they offered the CVT in the CRV (had issues in the first years) as well as GDI engines (with no port injection). So actually, for that 4th generation CRV (model years 2011-2016), I recommend pre-2015 years. It’s also best to avoid first year or two of ... | |||||
| 2017 Honda Civic 1.5L Manual or 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid CVT? | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | Yasker | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| So hear me out. I'm looking for a used car and I've been torn between these two for quite some time now. Now, I live in a small, mountainous European country, and driving stick has been a pain. I like manual cars for their zippiness and responsiveness but I wouldn't want to burn another clutch because there's traffic up a 25-degree steep hill. Also, I appreciate good gas mileage, that's why I was looking into the Camry Hybrid (only option here for the Camry, anyway). My budget at the moment is about 24k. There are a few Camrys here but only last generation, 2.5L 4-cylinder (CVT hybrid), with prices starting at 27k and up. However, there are a few 2017 1.5L VTEC Civics with either manual transmission or CVT, starting at 16k, which is much more managable for my wallet. There are no Accords within this price range, unfortunately. Corollas with the 2.0L engine are also surprisingly expensive, and I'm afraid a Corolla might be a bit boring. So, what do you think? Should I suck it up, learn to handle hills and bumps better, and buy a 2017 1.5L manual Civic? Or wait a bit, save up, and splurge out on a 2019 Camry? Or maybe go for a 2017 1.5L CVT Civic? Btw, the only available option here is to buy from a dealer, I'm afraid. There are almost no offers from private parties, with people either selling their cars to the dealer or to some retail company which handles it for them. | |||||
