| Answer to: CVT rattling noises? | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Change the CVT fluid as fast as possible - maybe you can still save it! At these kinds of mileages it's best to change it every 15k miles at most, clean oil is super important in a CVT. ( a VERY simplified explanation of why clean CVT oil is critical)These transmissions are a metal belt going between two rollers , just a little bit of friction can outright destroy it. Unlike a dual clutch where the power is transferred through metal gears and oil is mostly used to lube up the bearings or cool down the friction, On a CVT the entire power transfer is NOT done with a solid mechanical link is depended on oil to moderate the friction to be a set correct value- so that the belt and pulleys ("cones") have enough friction to transfer power but not enough to eat away the metal parts. IF this friction isn't correct because of low oil causing belts to not have enough friction and causing the belts to slip (metal rubbing on metal and ruining the tyranny),Or because old dirty oil there's too much friction and the metal parts get turned into dust remember the good old days where all cars were 4 speed automatics and could go 300k miles easily and had clear indicators of oil wear? I really miss it when it was all simple... If it wasn't changes for 50-60k miles there's a chance that there is a lot of wear inside your tranny. I'd advise you to consider replacing this car with a better built car OR taking it into a tranny shop as from your distinction it seems you a new belt (Unlike Toyota, on Nissan Cones usually don't get destroyed), a new pump and an inspection of all the other parts - This will NOT be a cheap or fast fix. | |||||
| Do I need to warm up the CVT before driving? | 15Relevance | 4 years ago | Scottisanole | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| 2022 Corolla 1.8L Scotty, Two part question: 1) does the CVT transmission have to be warmed up before driving? I read an article that said one should put the car in drive for a minute at start up before accelerating. 2) How long do you expect CVT transmissions to last in the new Corollas? Many articles gave it a life span of only 120-150 thousand miles. That would be such a drag as we all know the engines last 300k or more. The cost to replace a CVT is around $6-$8,000!

| I have a older Mitsubishi but I believe we share CVT transmission manufactures I started to receive the same transmission wine at around 70 K I replaced my CVT transmission fluid as it was easier than a Oil change at least for my make and model and removed wine substantially just make sure to religiously change your transmission fluid with OEM or equivalent transmission fluid at 35k mile intervals it might not completely stop the whine but will greatly help and increase the life of CVT as they were not the best quality transmissions ever built | |||||
| CVT When Stationery | 15Relevance | 4 years ago | Graham EP | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty. A CVT question - I'm in the UK and have a 2019 (Gen 5) 2.5 Outback with CVT. When driving I turn off the auto stop start. When I am stationery with the engine running eg at traffic lights, a junction, traffic jam etc should I shift the CVT from D to N or just keep it in D with my foot on the brake pedal - obviously I want to do the correct thing to avoid any damage / strain on the transmission? I can't seem to find a strait answer anywhere. You thoughts much appreciated | |||||
| Answer to: Toyota eCVT vs CVT | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Something I found on the internet: "CVTs take a different approach to managing rpm. Instead of gears, the most common CVTs use a metal belt or chain running between two pulleys. These pulleys are designed to spread open or squeeze closed under hydraulic pressure, forcing the belt or chain to ride higher or lower in them. The advantage of this system is the vehicle’s computer can quickly and continuously adjust the pulleys to whatever ratio is required for peak efficiency because it isn’t physically limited by gears. When driving a CVT-equipped vehicle the driver pushes on the gas pedal and the CVT adjusts to keep the engine at its most efficient rpm through the entire acceleration process. There are no bumps or rpm increases felt by the driver. This is even true when climbing a grade. The engine stays at its most efficient rpm and the CVT adjusts to allow the car to get over the hill. The eCVT found on the Toyota Prius and other hybrids differs from CVTs found in other vehicles, such as the 2013 Nissan Altima or 2012 Scion iQ, because it does not use a belt or chain connected to a pair of variable pulleys. Instead, an eCVT uses electric motor/ generators to control the speeds of planetary gearset components. This allows the eCVT to continuously change the gear ratio, keeping the engine’s rpm in the sweet spot. Just like when driving other CVT-equipped vehicles, drivers of vehicles with eCVTs don’t feel the step change common to traditional automatic transmissions, yet the mechanisms (planetary gears) to achieve acceleration are largely the same." | |||||
| Answer to: 2016 Honda Civic lx opinions | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| See below: The LX has the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with port injection, which is as good as you can do for longevity in modern Honda’s (don’t have to worry about oil dilution found in the smaller displacement turbo GDI engines). You didn’t state if CVT or manual transmission, but if CVT I would change transmission fluid (and filter if applicable) every 30,000 miles to get the most life out of it. Also, some had AC issues - something to plan for (just in case). | |||||
| Answer to: 2016 CR-V CVT or Regular Transmission Version? | 18Relevance | 4 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| However the 2016 comes in both CVT or the regular transmission for the engine. Unless I am missing something, all trim levels came standard with CVT for that model year, at least in North America. Where does it say it came with regular automatic transmission? I would stay away from a used CRV with a CVT transmission if the owner has not changed the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles. If you find one with over 100,000 miles and fluid never changed, walk away. | |||||
| Answer to: Civic CVT vs Civic AT !? | 18Relevance | 4 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... after trying to get out of being stuck And form my understating of things, bumps will also cause internal slippage. Also Honda has admitted that a lot of their CVTs aren't well built, as new as 2020 - I wouldn't say they "perfected" them. And there's plenty more extensions and service bulletins on them. Honda ATs aren't the greatest out there, and I'd just get a Mazda3 3rd gen or a Corolla E150 (international versions) - but the older ATs aren't terrible and at only 110,000km (about 70k miles), it most likely still can last for a very lon ... | |||||
| Answer to: CVT transmission purpose | 18Relevance | 4 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have driven a 2015 Honda CRV going on 99K+ miles for the last 6 years. It’s not as bad as folks make it out to be. If you are a regular consumer, I don’t think you can tell the difference between a CVT and an automatic. It just works. Most consumers don’t probably care about CVT’s unless it breaks down on them. And that’s probably one of the big reasons for the shift towards CVT’s. I can tell for sure. But that’s because I can tell the difference and know what to look for. TBH, I don’t mind it much. It’s a comfortable smooth ride. With that said, thi ... | |||||

| Nah don't, it will strain the CVT and it will just wear out faster. Heck, the previous-gen Nissan Pathfinder had a CVT and even though they rated it to tow 6000 lbs., I wouldn't trust it considering it has a CVT. | |||||
| RE: CVT transmission purpose | 15Relevance | 4 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| IMHO, I don’t consider the CVT in the Prius a CVT. When I think of the term CVT, I think of two “gears/cones” that adjust accordingly to change gears using a belt or chain. A Prius uses a planetary gear set. No belts. No chains. Just good old fashion gears. I don’t quite understand how it works, I just know it is different. The Prius “CVT” is relatively resilient. Probably because of the gears and not chains or belts. | |||||
| Answer to: Toyota Avensis, 1,8 VVT-i T3 stc. E-CVT | 15Relevance | 4 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Too much mileage, too old for a hybrid (e-CVT is only for hybrids) - you just never know how much life it has left in it. just get a petrol 1.6L ZR-series engine Corolla (not MMT, only Conventional auto or manual) - those are extremely well built. E-CVT is basically very similar to what an electric bike has. The only difference is that instead of the chain (on a CVT it’s a belt) going from one cog to another - the cog (it’s actually a pair of cones) it self changes size - same principal different design. E-CVTs also have an electric motor-generator built into them. | |||||

I went to the Dealer to get a parts list (over $250.00 for just the parts... will be getting the parts from Rock Auto) and the parts guy said most of the parts will need to be ordered as they do not stock them.... then the parts guy told me when you bring your car in for a CVT service - they only do a drain and fill - they don't replace filters? I find that very odd as filters get dirty a ... | |||||

| Hi Scotty, Hello from a fan and subscriber in the Philippines! I own a 2018 Honda CRV with a 1.6 turbo diesel engine. There is a ticking sound emanating from the dashboard whenever the ignition key is inside the car. This sound persists whether the vehicle is off, idling or moving. I had the vehicle checked at the Honda dealership where I bought my vehicle right before its warranty expired last June ‘21. The finding from their technicians and warranty engineers was that “…this ticking emanates from the electric brake booster utilized on all 2018-onwards CR- ... | |||||
