CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) Service & Repair Barrie, Ontario

 

A traditional automatic transmission uses a complex series of gears to transfer the engine’s power to the wheels. A CVT is a type of automatic transmission, but it has no gears at all. Instead, it uses a pulley and belt system to provide an unlimited range of gear ratios. Popular auto makers, such as Nissan, Toyota, Subaru, Chrysler and Honda, are introducing CVT’s to their model lineups to offer customers an option with improved acceleration and enhanced fuel economy.

CVT Common Problems

CVT’s are still relatively new to the market and can be very difficult and complicated to diagnose and repair. While CVT’s have fewer moving parts and are simpler in design, it is new technology and our technicians have completed extensive training specific to CVT’s and are well qualified to work with your vehicle.

Come common problems to look out for with your CVT include:

  • Transmission ‘jerking’, slipping, grinding or jumping during acceleration when the car is shifting gears
  • Noisy while driving – some customers have issues with a ‘whining’, ‘clanging’ or ‘rattling’ sound while driving especially with Nissan CVT’s
  • Contaminated or low transmission fluid
  • Overheating
  • Check Engine Light On
  • Gears changing at high RPM

My vehicle is showing at least one of these signs, what should I do?

If you suspect your CVT transmission is not performing as it should be, bring it in to your local Mister Transmission. We always start with our FREE Road Test and Multi Check Inspection to identify any problems with your transmission and provide you with different repair options. The key to minimizing repair costs is to get them checked as soon as you notice them, and you most likely only need a minor repair or service.

Richard Woehl
Outstanding service. Professional, honest and courteous. I believed I was in for a major expense for my F 150. Lorenzo diagnosed the issue while we were driving home to drop me off. It ended up being a cracked vacuum hose. The same afternoon he called me and said my truck was ready to go. When I asked about the cost of the repair, his response was don't worry about it. NO CHARGE!! Unbelievable in this day. Most of the " big boys" would be reaching for your wallet. Would highly recommend this business.

So I just purchased a 2015 Evoque . There was nothing wrong with the trans , I just wanted to do any required maintence . The manager told me that Range Rover does not recomend any fluid change . Now he could have told me that , YES he could change the filter and fluid and bill me $500.00 plus , but he did'nt , he told me the truth , which I might add does not happen to often anymore . I highly recommend this business , and it's not hard to understand the reason why they have been in business so long . Thank You -SIR, for your honesty

I apologize up front if I get long winded. I want to be as objective as possible. There are different views on everything, depending which angle are you looking at it from. And of course on your eyesight and your positive or negative personality. I don’t want to canonize or put angel wings on Al but if anyone deserves it he would be on top or close to the top of the list. Honesty and determination [stubborn] are his trademarks. We are in our early 80’s. Our car broke down 450 km from home. Don’t read it wrong. It was 38 days of stressful, sleepless nights, as much for him as for us. At times on the verge of losing hope. BUT 38 days later we have our car running like a gold medal winner marathon runner. He never gave up on fixing it or on us, making sure we had a vehicle to get around. Hopefully we won't see him again in a customer capacity but a lot as friends. [any time we’re driving by Barrie] AND just to mention; at no time ever, were there any harsh words exchanged. The motto is: treat others as you would want to be treated. John and Victoria Williams Elliot Lake.
