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 can’t say enough good things about Giorgio and Mr. Transmission in West Mississauga. I’ve brought my vehicle to him several times over the last two years, and his calm, knowledgeable approach is always so reassuring. I initially chose him because of his outstanding customer reviews, and now I completely understand why everyone praises him. He is practical, honest about repair options, and sincerely cares about helping his clients. Thank you, Giorgio!

Johnny Arcangel
Highly recommended! If you are looking for a trustworthy place and Friendly Neighborhood shop to have your vehicle looked at and taken care of, this is the place. Giorgio was more than helpful in helping me Diagnose the transmission on my 2011 Sienna that the Toyota dealership called that it needed replacement when it did not even need it. I am very happy of how I was taken care of and will recommend him and his shop to everyone i know. Thank you once again!

What can I say about...
Robert Boem
What can I say about this place that hasn't been said already in the reviews.I took my 2019 nissan rogue in thinking it was a transmission problem.Giorgio and I went for a test drive and he honestly didn't think it was a tranny problem. He gave me a couple of recommendations to try before I bring it in for an appointment. Hard to find an honest mechanic these days. Thanks so much Giorgio I will definitely be back to see you if the problem doesn't get resolved.

Bobh Yyz
Thank you, Giorgio! An honest operator…I stopped by his Mister Transmission as a mechanic diagnosed a slow leak under my car as transmission fluid.Regardless of being tied up, Giorgio came out front to my Jeep Wrangler, crawled under, came back up, and said looks and smells like oil.He suggested the auto service shop next unit over. We went in and our explained the situation to the operator. I’m in good hands with the service shop now.Bottom line: Giorgio’s good turn, at no cost to me, quickly helped steered me in the right direction.

Joshua Santos
This Mister Transmission came highly recommended by a few mechanics that I know and now I know why. After having my Fiance's Transmission replaced here last year, I recently needed to bring my Jeep in. Giorgio went above and beyond finding me a good replacement transmission at a very reasonable price (same as he did for my Fiance's car), but also went out of his way to get me a deal on a windshield replacement at another shop when he noticed mine was cracked. If you are having issues with your transmission and need someone who is trustworthy and reliable, look nowhere else. This place gets it done with minimal damage to your wallet.
