| ... and throw away vehicle. When they break, I don't think they are being rebuilt. You will be looking at new or remanufactured replacement. Due to the expense, I'm guessing most CVT powered vehicles regardless of how good of shape the body is still in, are going to the junkyard instead of being repaired. I think Honda and Toyota are neck and neck for the best CVT. Actual gears only. In theory a CVT transmission should be substantially more fuel efficient. Real world driving doesn't really reflect that from what I'm seeing. In my opinion CVTs are st ... | |||||

| I rented a car recently, a Nissan Altima with a Jatco CVT. There is defiantly a lag when accelerating. Not responsive enough. To the point of annoyance. It can accelerate decently, it just takes a bit to kick in. I drive a Honda CRV with CVT regularly. It isn’t as bad as the Jatco CVT. It’s more responsive. Not as responsive as an decent automatic or manual. But responsive enough where I am NOT as annoyed. I own a Prius with an eCVT. It’s a different kind of CVT. I must say, shifting feels the most like an automatic. And it’s super responsive. It’s not a ... | |||||

| Any CVT will be hard to fix, if they are faulty, even Toyota or Honda. However, it’s only these two OEMs who make reliable CVT transmissions, today. If I had to have a CVT today, it would be a Toyota/Honda CVT. | |||||
| 2016 Honda Civic transmission fluid change | 17Relevance | 5 years ago | Gearspro343 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey all here with my first question of my first car! So I got the car a couple weeks ago. It has 61k miles. Based on its service records the transmission fluid never been changed. It has a CVT transmission and based on information I looked up on the Honda CVT, the fluid should be changed every 30k miles. Is this true since CVT are more high tech I guess? Also would I damage it if I change it now since it’s never been changed. It probably won’t hurt it but I need some input from you guys, especially people who have CVT transmission knowledge | |||||

| Being CVT on its own isn't bad, the problematic CVTs are bad. Stay clear of the ones @chucktobias said and preferably go with a Toyota; they've been making it the longest and have perfected it. I have a Honda CVT car and I don't regret it, but Toyota is the best when it comes to CVT. | |||||

| CVT question 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid. 40k miles. Scotty- I have a CVT transmission that occasionally will "jerk" when cruising at a constant speed. Dealer always tells me they can't replicate. Is there something wrong or is just a wonderful trait of the CVT? | |||||
| Answer to: Toyota CVT's vs Honda CVT's? | 22Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Nowadays, Definitely Toyota. Both Honda and Toyota have been making CVTs for over two decades (the oldest Honda CVT I could find is on the late 90s HR-V and on Toyota they've been making them since 2000 for JDM and European models) But, unlike Toyota (except for some older designs like what's installed on the Corolla hatchback), Honda CVTs are still causing massive issues for owners while Toyota seems to have done a great job on the K120 launch gear CVT. Just remember to change the fluid with the OEM spec every 25k-35k miles - they're not bad at all, but ... | |||||

Bias disclaimer: Personally I wouldn't buy a modern Honda for many different reasons [spoiler title="Reasons:"](including but not limited to: failing 9 speed transmissions shared with FIAT models, random body/paint issues, to major electronic faults as we saw both in a Scotty video and some posts on this forum, HR-V CVTs exploding and extended warranty coverage being quite strange IMO, some cars that can not warm up d ... | |||||
| Leaking Seals 2014 Sentra CVT | 21Relevance | 11 months ago | Raykjay1 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I own a 2014 Nissan Sentra with a CVT transmission. In February 2023, at 152,511 miles, the dealer replaced engine seals and gaskets, and topped off the transmission fluid. The Nissan service advisor warned me not to intervene further, except to add fluid and replace seals, since the CVT had never been serviced. However, in April 2024 at 169,216 miles, I took the car to an AAMCO franchise to check the fluid level. The owner informed me the CV axle seal was leaking and needed replacement. I reluctantly agreed. He later told me the CVT had no fluid and pushed their silver service package. I expressed my concerns about the dealer’s warning and insisted on only adding fluid. Despite this, they proceeded with extensive work. Only 3,600 miles later, in July 2025, the CVT began failing badly. A local shop confirmed leaking seals, and the dealer verified axle seal leaks and CVT failure. I suspect AAMCO used scare tactics and may have worsened the problem, possibly leading to premature failure. 😞🔧 I’d greatly appreciate your professional thoughts on this matter. Thank you! 🙏 | |||||

As far as i understand, flushing the CVT is a bad idea. Regarding the ATF 1400, the official web page states that this fluid is recommended for Honda CVT. How should I proceed? | |||||
| Answer to: Should I change my Civic CVT fluid | 16Relevance | 5 years ago | InThrustWeTrust | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| What does your owner’s manual recommend regarding CVT transmission maintenance? Does it have the standard Honda response of have it checked by your dealer for maintenance? If it does, yeah I’d change it (drain & fill) using only the Honda CVT fluid mentioned in your owner’s manual. I wouldn't get the software update if Honda doesn’t recommend it. You never know what it may do, and I wouldn’t want to risk it ruining a perfectly functioning transmission. | |||||
| Should I follow Honda Dealer's recommendation for CVT transmission fluid change even though my 2018 civic is only @ 8500 miles in 3 years? | 16Relevance | 5 years ago | whyet | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I own a 2018 CVT Honda Civic with 1.5 Turbo. Due for PMS this December. Car is almost 3 years old. Honda Dealer recommended changing my CVT transmission fluid. I was a bit skeptical since my initial research recommends changing it somewhere at 25,000 to 50,000 miles. My car is currently at 8500 miles. I checked the manual, Manual recommends a change at 40,000km/25,000miles OR after 3 years (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST). Your thoughts? Thank you! | |||||

| ... oil is the way to go. Lately I have been told by some, that I watch, that you should change your oil every five thousand miles whether or not you are using synthetic oil. I own a 2016 Toyota Prius eco 2 with 92 thousand miles. It has been serviced at the Toyota dealer religiously since it was new. They change the oil ( Mobile One synthetic ) every 10,000 miles. I drive conservatively and warm the car up completely. What is your opinion? Also I am planning on purchasing a suv soon. I am torn between the CRV and Rav 4. The biggest concern is the transmissions ... | |||||

| I guess my opinion will be different here but here's the thing, so many new cars are being made with CVT so in many cases if someone wants to buy new then it's CVT. While I would also prefer the regular automatic transmission, but when it comes to CVT I would go with Honda or Toyota over other brands. I bought a new Civic with CVT and I don't plan on keeping it for 200-300k miles and I also do my own maintenance (changing oil and oil filter but also changing the transmission fluid every 30k miles) so I went ahead and bought it and so far it's fine and haven' ... | |||||
| Changing Honda cvt transmission filters | 21Relevance | 2 years ago | Maxpayne661 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, I'm from Israel and I have a used Honda Jazz 2016 CVT transmission with 170,000 kilometers. I bought it when it was 120 k. With a maintenance history that includes timely transmission fluid changes. I have a question, I don't see that you have a video that explains the importance of changing the filters of Honda's transmission fluid, at the Honda dealership they said they don't change filters. And in a car book I did not find anything about changing the filters. Since my model has two internal filters and I know that these filters need to be repl ... | |||||
