CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) Service & Repair Brampton, 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.

I’m so happy I brought my truck to Mister Transmission. Luke was very helpful and honest in letting me know that my transmission was in 100% working order and didn’t need any repairs or a rebuild. The diagnosis was free and very detailed, which gave me real peace of mind. It’s refreshing to see there are still honest people in the industry — another shop could have easily charged me for a rebuild I didn’t need. I highly recommend this location for all your transmission needs!

I had a great experience at this location of Mister Transmission. Around a month ago I brought my 2013 VW Jetta in since it was having what I initially thought was transmission/clutch related issues. They took an in-depth look at it and found out it was a different problem related with the engine. They didn't charge me at all for checking even though I insisted especially since they were super busy which I fully appreciate!

Alicia Mory
Went into Mister Transmission for issues with my Mercedes and was greeted by Brian Reid. He was absolutely phenomenal—knowledgeable, patient, and very understanding. When explaining what was going on with my car, he broke everything down clearly without making it confusing. He never over-promised anything, was fair in his pricing, and made me feel comfortable asking questions. Communication was a breeze Brian kept me updated at every step. Now my car runs as if it’s brand new, and to top it off, Mister Transmission even cleaned it for me. I left with complete confidence that my car was in the right hands. THANK YOU BRIAN FOR EVERYTHING!!! :)

We greatly appreciate his time, knowledge, and expertise, and we are very satisfied with our experience!!!

They kept me updated from the start to the finish. There were no surprises at all everything was done as stated and was kept up to date on the price and what needed to be done. Would highly recommend using these guys for any transmission issues.

We have brought our problematic 2016 Nissan Altima here twice now with transmission issues. The customer service is excellent and they seem to have the client's best interest in mind. Luke and the team are knowledgeable, professional and honest. They have been transparent and communicative with the issues, expectations and timelines. Pricing is fair, especially compared to the dealership who gave ridiculous quotes. So far we have had a great experience and are satisfied - thanks for keeping our car running!

Paul Legeny
I am fearful of transmission problems as they are usually very costly. I took my Jeep Cherokee to Luke's shop on Kennedy Road South. He took it for a test drive, ran diagnostics and checked the transmission fluid. He agreed that there was a hesitation when shifting out of first and second gears but noted that it gets better when it warms up. Diagnostics revealed an error code which was out of his scope as it was not a transmission issue. The fluid was good and he suggested that I take it to another shop to address the error code and bring the car back and he will have another look at it. When I asked how much for his services, no cost at all to me. Thank you Luke...I really appreciate your honesty and you truly are an ambassador for Mr. Transmission!
