CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) Service & Repair Sylvan Lake, AB 

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.

Charlie Farquharson
Jamie and Stewart provide no nonsense service. They are personable, and able to explain transmission problems and solutions. They removed the failed manual transmission from my Fiat 500, stripped it down, declared it beyond repair. I found a used one with LKQ, got it to Alberta, and they inspected it, and refitted. They replaced other items that were suspect while they were working on the car. I phoned most transmission shops in Alberta, they either would NOT work on a Fiat 500 manual box, or had never touched one. Jamie had removed and worked on them in the UK, so experience rules. So Fiat 500 owners... use Red Deer Mister Transmission. Also if you have a weird European vehicle, see Jamie and Stewart....
