Hi Scotty, I have a Toyota Corolla 2014 with cvt transmission. It has 150k miles. The transmission has started slipping recently. Sometimes it revs up to 3000 rpm before shifting into second gear. The repair shop says rebuild it or buy a used one and replace the transmission! What Is my best option? Can it be fixed? How long can a slipping transmission last before it completely fails . Thank you.
there's nothing really to slip. No clutches or torque converters.
intelligent Shift, or CVTi-S, runs up the RPMs to whatever is appropriate for your desired rate of acceleration. Let’s say 3,000 RPMs. At that point the car “shifts” and the RPMs drop back down, and resume their climb up.
Get a second opinion.
Was the CVT fluid ever changed since brand new?
