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 had a leaked enough tranny oil to cause issues with my FJ. I had the issue repaired but there was debris in the pan. I was literally afraid to drive my truck. I had a second opinion today from what I wanted a Transmission expert. The “ nothing is wrong with your FJ” was such a relief. Honestly I would have had a new Tranny installed if that was the verdict. It’s nice to find integrity in service. It’s also nice I am ready to drive my beast again. I take 10 hour trips with it and breaking down that far away is a giant hassle. If I ever do have issues I wouldn’t hesitate to use this place.

Called for estimate on transmission flush and was advised they only do repairs now. However, he was very helpful and provided more details on the type of work my car actually needs and saved me a couple hundred dollars of irrelevant maintenance. Seems like a honest shop.

Very thorough and helpful. I thought I had a transmission issue, but they did an exhaustive test drive and diagnostics and reported that there was no issue. There was no charge for this. They suggested I see a mechanic and even recommended one to me. I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received here and would recommend them to anyone.

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!
