CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) Service & Repair Mississauga, Ontario

 

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.

When mechanics know what they are doing they use honesty to win business. The team here really understands transmissions and because of that they have saved me a lot of money. I highly recommend these guys!

Victor Fernandes
My car faced a shifter malfunction related issue. I was referred to Mister Transmission and I must say that Aki and his crew went above and beyond to assist. Every member of the team including Aki, Victor at Front Desk, the Technicians working diligently on the workshop floor were all supportive and keen to assist. Aki also took the time to explain the issue in detail and also demonstrated the problem my car faced with a diagrammatic representation to help me better understand. I am extremely pleased with the levels of service, support and reassurance offered. In addition, Aki’s knowledge of transmission systems reigns supreme and it is evident that this expertise has been acquired practicing his trade over decades. Customers benefit most from this experience as Aki has an extremely thorough understanding and a deep sense of what is causing the issue on hand. Would strongly recommend Mister Transmission (Dundas and Shawson/Britannia) in Mississauga.

Ed CTM
The level of service we received from this Mister Transmission auto repair facility was outstanding. I sent a 2015 GMC Sierra pickup to get diagnosed at 3pm for an issue with the transmission where it was not locking in park. By 10am the following day the repair was quoted and completed and I was able to pick up the vehicle with the problem resolved for an extremely reasonable price. The courteous nature of the staff and owner with constant updates was something I had never received from an auto garage before. Great garage and great people working there.

Dinesh Prabhakar
I had a fantastic experience at Mister Transmission (Dixie Road location). My 2016 Nissan Rogue needed a full transmission replacement, and I was really stressed about the warranty process. The team not only diagnosed the issue professionally but also coordinated directly with Lubrico Warranty and made the claim process so much easier for me.A special thanks to the manager, who was incredibly friendly, transparent, and supportive throughout. He kept me updated at every stage and made sure I fully understood the options, including pricing and warranty coverage. The work was done on time, and the car runs smoother than ever.If you're looking for honest service, technical expertise, and peace of mind, this is the place. Highly recommended!
