What Is an Acura CVT Transmission?

Many new Acura models have a CVT, or continuously variable transmission, option available. CVTs can offer improved acceleration and enhanced fuel economy. A CVT is actually a type of automatic transmission. The difference is that CVTs operate without any physical gears by using a belt and pulley system for an unrestricted range of gear ratio.

The CVT turns engine rotations into torque, allowing you to drive at variable speeds. At Mister Transmission of Clone, our technicians have completed extensive training specific to each Acura vehicle. We also have CVT specialists who can ensure your Acura transmission receives high-quality repairs and service that last.

What are the common problems in an Acura CVT?

Honda has a well-earned reputation for making high-quality, reliable vehicles. As their luxury brand, the Acura line is no different; but no vehicle is perfect. Acuras have problems, too, and along with the fuel pump failures and airbag recalls, Acura transmission problems are among the most prominent.

Gear slippage is a common complaint among Acura drivers. If your new Acura comes with a CVT and you’ve never driven one before, there is one thing you should know. CVTs can make some odd noises. Weird noises are often cause for concern, but with a CVT, you might just have to get used to the noises it makes.

How we diagnose transmission problems

Some common signs of a problem with an Acura CVT include:

  • Overheating
  • Slipping
  • Sudden loss of acceleration
  • Illuminated check engine light

CVTs utilize new technologies, and the jury is still out on them. They’re often cheaper to manufacture and design, so purchasing an Acura with a CVT could save you money. However, how these transmissions fare long-term isn’t entirely known yet. Some drivers of CVT vehicles complain that they are not as robust as traditional automatic transmissions. As a result, they may need more maintenance and repairs.

Acuras with CVTs also have an onboard computer. When determining your transmission problems, we can connect your Acura’s onboard computer to our diagnostic equipment. Doing this produces a code that can tell us where the problem is. Then we can perform a test drive to observe how your transmission functions in real time.

Neil Persaud
This is my second time working with Frank. Our initial Nissan transmission replacement still drives like new after 3yrs/100,000km+ put on it. Frank is true honest mechanic and there is a reason his shop has a 5 star rating. After a horrible encounter with a Nissan dealer who nickel and dimed us while diagnosing everything but the problem (they charged over $200 to replace 2 axle nuts that didn't even fix the issue) we cut our losses and took our vehicle to Frank. Just 1 part replaced and all the vibrations were gone. Frank returned the defective parts to us (something the dealer refused to do) and explained what the issue was exactly. I estimate we saved over $800 going with Frank vs what the dealer quoted (possibly more since they were charging for unnecessary "repairs"). We'll definitely be returning to Frank for all of our drivetrain issues. He's no nonsense and understands the value of good customer relationship.
