CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) Service & Repair Calgary, Alberta

 

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.

Sunny L.
Mister Transmission has always been our first choice for vehicle repairs. They take the time to thoroughly check everything and, incredibly, they don’t charge any diagnostic fees. This is a huge relief, as other shops often charge hundreds just to diagnose an issue, even when they don’t fix it. Mister Transmission’s commitment to transparency and customer care makes them stand out. We trust them completely with our vehicles and highly recommend their service to anyone looking for reliable, honest auto repair.

Siraj Swissi
Best experience by far, I spent thousands of dollars on my truck with no luck solving the issue I was having or maybe finding the source of the problem, a friend referred me to Mr transmission and the best decision I made, I was planning to sell my vehicle for a huge loss but Chris and his boys found what the issue was and took care of it, if your having complicated problems with your vehicle this is the place, they will save you money and this is from experience, highly recommend this shop and I’ll always go back.

Wonderful experience dealing with Kris and Dawn and their team. They repaired a fluid leak in the transmission of my fairly old vehicle (early '90s model) and were very clear on what they would be doing and what it would cost. Final bill came in a little under the estimate, so the honesty was definitely appreciated. I would recommend Mister Transmission all day, every day!
