CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) Service & Repair Scarborough, 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.

Very satisfied with the work done on my 2015 Ford F-250. During transmission service suggested absolutely necessary preventative measures to avoid potentially huge problems. Underside experienced more than normal degradation and corrosion and pan/bolts were replaced. Will be going back to have all the transmission lines replaced with new ones. Obviously knowledgeable and experienced, forthright and transparent with costs, these guys have some pride in what they do. They’re not cheap but also not unreasonable. I prefer paying a proper price to get good people to do the needed work. Thanks Ray and Gus! I’ll be back.

Highly recommended! Had a recent service to this convenient location for my high mileage car and the latest issue i had was a busted brake cylinder on my Honda Civic that happened last boxing day. I called CAA to tow my car to Ray Sanchez (Mister Transmission) shop that evening and left him a voicemail. The next day Ray and his crew did a phenomenal craftsmanship replacing the crippled parts in a timely fashion. They explain extremely well and show you what’s going on under your car.. The other visits i made was last January for diagnostic test and consultation. Overall they render a quality control of expertise, gives you straightforward sincere advises which is rare nowadays in building your trust and confidence for any of your car repair necessities.

When I had been reaching 25km/h that time car was paused automatically for one second then again started to pick up the speed so I took my car to other mechanics for checking my car but they were saying that my transmission is failed but I could drive very well my car and did not get any sign on display I was confused and couple of days before I went to mister transaction to diagnose my car then Gus just changed transmission fluid and problem is fixed so he saved mine 5000 dollars. Thanks Gus to help me to fix my car. I am too delighted by your service.
