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.

I had a great experience...
Beatrice Perri
I had a great experience with Mister Transmission on Dixie Road. The customer service was outstanding from start to finish. Service Advisor Sel was excellent. I was having some issues with my vehicle, and he took the time to clearly explain the problem and the steps the team was taking to ensure it was properly resolved. He kept me informed throughout the process, which gave me confidence that my vehicle was in good hands. Manager Aki also went above and beyond by contacting me a few days later to check on how the vehicle was performing after the repair. That follow-up showed they genuinely care about their customers and stand behind their work. If you're looking for honest, professional service with great communication, I highly recommend Mr. Transmission on Dixie Road. Sel and Aki are a fantastic team!

Joyce Corpuz
I brought my Jeep Wrangler to Mister Transmission when it started having transmission issues because I wanted a second opinion before spending an astronomical amount of money and time at the dealership. From the moment I walked in, the team took the time to explain the possible causes of the problem and the available solutions. What really stood out to me wasn’t just the service itself—it was the way they communicated. They were thorough, honest, and made sure I understood everything without feeling pressured. These guys went beyond standard customer service. They were professional, knowledgeable, and approachable, creating an atmosphere of trust and genuine care. It’s rare to find a shop that combines technical expertise with such a personal touch. I am incredibly grateful for their exceptional work and the confidence they gave me throughout the process. Hopefully, I won’t be seeing them again anytime soon—at least not for the same vehicle—but if I ever need transmission work in the future, I know exactly where I’ll be going. Thank you to the entire team at Mister Transmission.

Ed Jaworski
A few weeks ago I started having slipping issues with the tyranny on my 15 y/o Charger w 270,000 kms on it. Stopped in without an appointment and they professionally diagnosed the problem quickly. They recommended a new hose and tcm plate. When I told Aki the car also needed tires and front end work and I didn't want to put a lot of money into the car, he didn't push to replace the parts, didn't try to scare me into having work done immediately. He understood what I said and they cleaned the plate, did a tyranny service, fixed the leak, and got me back on the road in good time at a reasonable cost. No problems since. The whole team from the front desk, to the guys in the shop were also very professional. That's why I'll always go to Mr Transmission Dixie Rd when I have transmission issues in the future and I recommend them to anyone e lse. Thanks guys!
