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

Charlotte Aurini
I can’t recommend these folks enough. As someone who doesn’t know a lot about cars, I have been taken advantage of before. But not by the crew at Mister Transmission, they’ve been terrific. They really do try to help you save money, and only do the work that is necessary on your vehicle. I had an issue with shuddering on my VW Golf, and they got to the bottom of it very quickly, while also explaining to me the work that’s been done so I could understand. Really appreciate them, and I’ll always be back for future work on my car.

I was driving into the city from out of town when I suddenly got warning lights. I called and spoke to Tanya who was so helpful, she worked to get me in quickly. The team diagnosed the problem quickly, ordered in the part and had the work done within 24 hours. I really felt they went out of their way for me because they knew I was in a tough position. Excellent service! Thank you!

Tremendous service and patience in trying to locate the issue with my car. They took the time to test drive it both with me and alone. And in the end they didnt charge for their services making them different than most of the places I have been to. Well done. Would definitely take my car there again

Honest professional service. Took my van for second opinion after being told it'll need a rebuild of transmission, the diagnosis; the fluid was low and needed topping up. Thank you Mr. Transmission for saving me $$ and your honesty.

Recently had the transmission of our RV replaced there. Amazing garage, would highly recommend! Staff is knowledgeable, understanding and very accommodating. You can see that the mechanics there are professionals, the repair-shop is so clean that I would almost say it looks cozy!

Rick Giles
It is refreshing to deal with a business that is well known for the top notch service that they provide. Today it is harder and harder to find that. Brad the owner was very easy to talk to and took the time to actual be in the mix of things as they took place. He gave a couple prices using used parts and new and researched what would be possibly expected from both scenarios, service and price wise. My wife was very impressed with Arian on pick up of the vehicle once the work was done. I was further impressed with the fact that with a holiday in the week of repair the vehicle was still returned to us in a timely fashion. Would definitely not hesitate to return for any service at Halifax’s Mister Transmission. Rick G
