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.

Parkland Mr. Transmission was great to deal with. I received same day service. They trouble shot my issue. Turned out to be a wiring problem. No parts needed and my truck was back on the road in 48 hours. Fantastic service and the shop is incredibly clean...just something I noticed while I was there. Thank you to Jamie and the team for helping me out.

Excellent service. They asked many good questions over the phone and arranged an appointment to diagnose the problem. Another appointment was set to do the repair, which was on point and cost effective. I recommend this establishment for your transmission needs. Thank you.

So about 6-8 months ago...
Pat Hunt
So about 6-8 months ago my “HI” light was flashing on my dash on my tundra so trying to turn on the 4x4 noticed it was not working, so when I brought it to my local mechanic (that I trust and have know since I was a child) told me he thought it would be the transfer case that needed to be replaced . I put it off, then on my way to work my rpm’s shot up to 5-6 k yet only going 100kms, hi-lo light came on and the engine light came on. I hooked up my cheep diagnostic and it told me three different problems with my transmission. I would clear the codes and I put it off and put it off over two-three months went by but now with the cold coming I needed to get the 4x4 working. Living on almon st . I went by Mr. Transmission everyday hoping that I would never need to go there . But when I needed a transmission place I called . I told them that my transfer case was gone and what I thought was my three gear was slipping . Figured it would be a 2-3 k bill by the end . They got my truck in in just a couple days. 8 o’clock next morning they called me to tell me that the speed sensor was gone and after they replace that would let me now what else needed to be done. They called me back the next day telling me my trucks ready to be picked up. When I asked how much more needed to be done to get everything working they told me “ it was just the speed sensor “ and even the harness was in great shape and just needed to be cleaned up which saved a ton,(which I would never have known)By the end paid $450 and change, which I can’t believe!! . My tundras 4x4s working beautifully and all the lights are out and it shifts like a dream. All I can say is thank you and I highly recommend Mr. Transmission to anyone looking to getting any of there services. I tried to convince them that I needed thousands of dollars of work and they came back and told me that it’s a quick cheap easy fix!! Thank you guys so very much

Amy Jansen
I brought my 2010 Nissan Murano in because I ruined my CVT transmission towing a trailer through New Brunswick. They were very transparent about the issue and how much it will cost. I picked up my car after a couple weeks and my torque converter decided to break a couple hours later. I towed it back in and they fixed it no problem. My car now runs like a dream! They treated me with kindness, respect and transparency and I'm so happy with my experience. I'll be using them for any other possible car needs moving forward!
