CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) Service & Repair Halifax, Nova Scotia

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.

Bek Bessem
These guys rock. Fast service and they genuinely want to save you money when they can. I brought my car in with what I suspected was one thing and turned out to be another and they pivoted and still had me back on the road same day. Ps thanks for tidying up my drums, that layer of rust was no joke. I’ll be back next time something breaks!

They take care of several of my vehicles. The boys accommodate my time lines and talk through issues and best case scenario. Always looking for the best deal. And they know a lot about tires as well. Very happy with my winters this year.

I recently dealt with Mister Transmission after being misdiagnosed by another company. I was told it was my transfer case and was going to be over $3000 but Mister Transmission actually found the issue regarding the noise we kept hearing on our car and saved us money too. This was my first time dealing with anything like this, but they were patient, answered all my questions, gave extra context where needed and just gave top notch customer service. I have to give them a 5 out of 5! Huge kudos to Jason and Jordan! Thank you both (and Ryan) for such a great experience! Highly recommended! 🌟
