American Honda has left us and tens of thousands other Honda owners with vehicle that do not run properly! We purchased a brand-new 2015 Honda CRV in early 2015 A few weeks after we purchased it the vehicle started vibrating, shaking and surging. We were afraid the car would die, especially upon acceleration. We took it to Darryl Waltrip Honda in Franklin, TN. They told us that Ho ... | |||||

| Answer to: Are Toyota CVT transmissions different than others? | 28Relevance | 4 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Yep, all non-launch gear CVTs are roughly the same. Unlike the K11X CVTs that are almost identical to Jatco units, The K31X installed on most older generation Toyotas are just similar. They have less issues but when they begin to whine, it's your que to dump the thing. @mmj linked great pictures of what damage to the cones and the belt looks like - it's not a question of "if" this is going to happen it's a question of "when" and "how much damage is there". Speaking of CVT gearboxes that are different from most other Japanese offerings, If you want a Toyota, get only ones with a manual - Maybe the Launch gear CVT won't be bad but when I was testing the Yaris Cross, I didn't like the way it shifts under load (the 1->CVT shift lets the RPM fall too much. kinda of like my old Toyota MMT, but there I don't feel anxious keeping 1st gear until 4k rpm, but on a launch gear CVT? I'd be anxious to hit the CVT with that kind of torque). From a design standpoint, the cones aren't disengaged in 1st so the belt is still slipping and wearing out, also the whole CVT range engagement (the Cones get spun up and "pinch" the belt) sounds to me like something that will eventually snap the belt (not to forget to mention it's a thinner belt and the cones are at a more aggressive angle). Also, Toyota brags about using smaller bearings, which, as I see it, this will definitely be an issue in the long run. Considering their bearings on older K31X are already trashy and are known to whine (if the owner goes by Toyotas service recommendations), making them even smaller sounds like the wrong thing to do. They claim that these smaller bearings are sufficient because due to the launch gear there's less load on the transmission internals - but what will happen after 120k-150k miles when it won't be as smooth as it used to be? will those bearings still be sufficient to hold up to a jerky or frequent 1->CVT shift? Hopefully Toyota engineers will prove me wrong and the K120 will be a decent gearbox, but I am skeptical if it will ever reach the same reliability levels as an average 4/5/6 speed automatic. Personally I got so tired of all of these DCTs/CVTs I just bought a the last new car with a 6 speed automatic still available in my region. | |||||
| Answer to: 2012 Honda CRV with CVT transmission that shudders | 21Relevance | 2 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I wouldn't do it. Hondas have always been notoriously picky about the fluids used. The CVT is probably just wearing out on you after 12 years. CVT shuddering is usually caused by excessive internal wear. A fluid change with the correct Honda fluid may help. | |||||

(Even worse than what you've had on the Fit, the Hyundai-Kia iVT doesn't seem to hold up) Your Honda CVT lasted 25,000 miles - by Hyundai-Kia iVT standards that's like 25 times over some!

| no such thing as a manual CVT, it's either a manual or CVT but not both. If you don't have 3 pedals than more likely it's a CVT that has manual mode to give you the "manual" shifting feel but make no mistake it is just a CVT. And Nissan CVT's are not much better than their crappy Jatco automatic transmissions. When was the last or first time the CVT transmission fluid was replaced? Should've had 2 transmissions fluid exchanges by now. | |||||
| Answer to: Cvt transmission | 20Relevance | 4 years ago | AutoDIY | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Personally speaking, I don't like CVT transmissions and how they drive. To me the fake shifts are just that, fake. As far as a CVT being as reliable as a geared transmission, I suppose Honda's and Toyota's CVT's can probably last as long. I've seen quite a few CVT powered sedans (Hondas) with surprisingly high miles, over 150k with no issues. | |||||

| Answer to: New Car preference. | 27Relevance | 3 years ago | nlord | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I would not eliminate CVT altogether, I just would only buy a toyota made CVT. When the 2004 prius came out, it was using what is a typical CVT transmission with a belt. Those things were tanks, even with all the hybrid tech in them, they typically lasted a very long time. Cab companies would buy them and drive them like crazy, and still get many hundreds of thousands of miles out of them. The newer Toyota CVT doesn't use a belt any more, and they are still overall very reliable. I would not be afraid of buying a brand new Toyota with a CVT, because I know I will take care of it. If I were looking at a nissan Rogue, I know the CVT is by far the weakest point on the car. That is not the case with Toyota. My friend has a prius from like 2006 with a bazillion miles on it, and a couple of years ago the battery finally died, CVT still trucking. Amazingly, when I look up user reviews for the 2006 prius on edmunds, it scores a 4.9! That is the highest I have ever seen on a car, and especially one that old. Again, I would only buy a car that had a CVT, if it were toyota. | |||||

| For a Toyota CVT at the very least, what Scotty recommends, 50K miles. Heck, you are at 40K right now. You could do it, and see how bad it is, so you can know for next time. If you need to do it more frequently, or if it could go a little longer. For a Jatco CVT or almost any other CVT, I would do it every 20K-30K. Jatco CVT seems to wear a lot faster. | |||||

| All I will say is, not all CVTs are bad. Toyota makes a very reliable CVT (or what people call a CVT), the crazy amount of miles taxi drivers put on Prius alone proves it. With that being said, I would not buy another brand of car with a CVT. Interesting thread here. | |||||
