CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) Service & Repair Fergus, ON

 

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.

You have to drop many grands.....I suppose you must go here. Reliable and honest. But geeeeebus are they ever over priced!!!! No wonder they have their own loan company. 400$ for a transmission oil change, every 2 years?. Geezuz. May as well forego the oil changes and replace the transmission every 5 years!!

Great people I took my classic car there and they have opened and did a diagnostic on the transmission. It turned out it needed a re-build. I could not effort it now so I told them I will come back later. Gary, after spending all that time on the car did not charge me anything. It is very refreshing to come accross a shop like this. Thank you!

I recently brought in my 2019 Ford Escape and I was really worried about what issues I was having with my vehicle, when I met with Gary he was seriously a tremendous amount of help and went the extra mile to help me out and explain everything in detail step by step you can tell when speaking with him that he really takes pride in the work he does , he kept in touch with me throughout the week as well while working on the repair, I know people can be skeptical about getting their transmission fixed especially with the price but you can’t go wrong here I was really pleased with my experience and the final result. Thank you!

Fantastic experience all around! Gary, the gentleman who worked with me, was very transparent and forthcoming about every aspect of repair my car needed, and the turnaround time between dropping my car off and getting it back was just over 24 hours. Fingers crossed my car doesn't need any more maintenance done to it for awhile, but if and when it does I will definitely come back to this location!

Kevin Green
I’ve had my Tacoma in here a few times - a few years back they were able to fix leaking lines without charging me for a full aftermarket set. And today Gary diagnosed my ailing transmission and had it fixed and ready to go same day! Really appreciate the honesty and personal service. Gary even called me a few times to update me on what he was finding. This is a place you can trust.
