​@@antvq Most manufacturers suggest that you get the fluid changed every 30k to 60k. I would say if you change it every 30k to 40k (just to be extra friendly to the CVT) you shouldn't run into any issues with premature failure. From what I understand, a big reason why some CVT's fail is because the fluid wears down (when not changed enough) and causes higher temps in the CVT....This can then stretch the metal belt causing everything to essentially self destruct inside the CVT. The only way this would happen with regular fluid changes is if you were beating the vehicle hard for an extended period of time to the point of where the CVT reaches those high temps. Summary: Change the fluid every 30k-40k, and don't drive it like it's a racecar.....And you will be golden 👍👍

I have seen regulars transmissions with 200k on the original fluid and zero shifting issues....But you would be lucky to get 150k on the original fluid in a CVT without it overheating and self destructing. Other than that, there is no reason they shouldn't last. This does not include the Nissan Jatco CVT's lol.....Those CVT's are what gave CVT's this bad reputation to begin with.

The Lexus CT200h is a hybrid. It utilises the Hybrid Synergy Drive as it’s propulsion System. It allegedly has an e-CVT transmission - which is actually a planetary gear set and has almost nothing in common with the conventional CVT auto transmission. It’s ironic that you had to have a Lexus CT200h in your video, as virtually every point you made regarding CVTs DOES NOT apply to the CT200h - or indeed the Prius Hybrid which uses an identical propulsion system to the Lexus CT200h. Your points are valid regarding ordinary conventional CVT gearboxes - but not on hybrids using the Hybrid Synergy Drive. Unfortunately, many will get the wrong impression and think the Lexus CT200h e-CVT might be susceptible to accidental damage, when it is not.

"Professional driver. Closed course. Do not attempt" 😂😂😂

Most new CVT transmissions, as well as shifted automatic transmissions use lock-up clutch torque converters. When the input shaft of the transmission reaches a certain RPM above the idle speed of the engine, a hydraulic actuated clutch engages inside the torque converter, eliminating fluid slip loss. That minimizes heat, and maximizes efficiency. When inching, the torque converter allows slippage, with absolutely no wear, though, there is some heat. eCVT transmissions don't have any kind of clutch or torque converter. You have a single planetary gear set, with two 3 phase motors. The sun gear is connected to one electric motor, the planetary carrier is connected directly to the flywheel of the engine, and the annulus (outer ring gear) is connected to the differential. The second motor is also connected to the differential. 72% of the crankshaft torque of the engine goes straight into the differential, the other 28% goes to the sun gear, and at low road speeds, the sun gear and the motor it's connected to spin much faster than the engine. That generates electricity, which is used by the second motor, to help the engine apply torque to the differential. All ratio changing and apparent slippage is done by pulse width modulation, to control the speeds and torque multiplication of the transmission, and can transition through effective gear ratios, with no mechanical wear whatsoever Mechanical CVT transmissions come in two types. You can get them with either a "push belt" or "pull chain". The push belt uses stacks of bits,(usually 423 to 499 bits) held in alignment by two spring steel bands. the drive sheave compresses the bits together, around the driven sheave. The moving sheaves,(called "variators") have a constant clamp force, controlled by their actuator piston area multiplied by fluid pump pressure. The "pull chain version uses a chain, that looks very much like the chain in the transfer case of a four-wheel drive truck, and the drive sheave pulls the chain from the driven sheave, just like an ordinary belt and pulley system. The clamp force on the chain is actually varied, according to the expected tension on the chain, based on engine torque, and effective ratio. It requires a more comprehensive electronic control module. The "push belt" system is more simple, and less expensive, but the "pull chain" can follow a tighter radius, therefore offers a greater ratio span than the "push-belt" type. (Typically, +/- 2.4:1 for "push-belt, +/-2.6:1 for "pull-chain") The "jury is still out" on which type will last the longest. The eCVT is the clear winner on long term reliability, compared to either of the mechanical types, but, it requires the most comprehensive control unit. It has to include two variable frequency drives, capable of handling the full horsepower rating of the engine!

I have an 05 prius with 270,000 miles on it. I towed full u haul trailers for over 1000 miles recently. Its amazing that the electric motor had no problem pulling that weight up a steep hill from park. The converter temp went up to 186F on the highway vs 120f normally. my normal MPG today is 65mpg mixed. the wind resistance totally demolished my mpg at cruising speed. i only got 30mpg.

Much like a process of 1) depress accelerator 2) engine speed increases 3) wait 4) car increasingly accelerates at some weird rate that does not match the engine. The only way I can explain it is that the transmission accelerates the car instead of the engine. CVT's in Polaris ATVs are WAY WAY better than those found in automobiles.

I bought a CVT Nissan with 60k miles in 2014 and then totaled it in 2017 with about 100k. Never had any issues. I’ve had a Subaru CVT for about 50k miles now and it’s great. The manual mode + paddle shifters is a great tool for snow and I’d assume off roading.

So, in summary, what 5 things should you never do in a CVT vehicle? You seem to have skipped that bit.

I'm so thankful for that professional driver disclosure. I almost went out to try that very thing.

I use the paddle shifters to downshift as my 2010 Outback descends hills and approaches stops, not going into 3rd until I get just below 40 mph, but going into 4th a/o 5th at any speed under 80. No problems so far, at 95K miles, but is there any harm in this much engine braking?

Not only is engine braking optimal in a mountainous area, it also prevents you from setting your brakes on fire. The only strain being taken is by the fluid circulation systems, which would be running either way. In other words, unless you're redlining it for some reason, engine braking should be fine. The function exists because it's even necessary in some environments. If your engine can handle constant literal explosions, I think it can handle some negative air pressure.

Guys...There's 1 thing you guys dont know the advantage of CVT... CVT Gears are better than automatic in terms of torque...torque will not fall as cvt is to continuing the gear ratio while automatic transmission will shift up and its torque drops down... CVT > AUTOMATIC

At first I hated it. An automatic transmission is boring enough as it is. After a while it grew on me. You have max HP and torque on demand and it stays there until you’re done. On my cars it’s not even close to redline so I keep my engine revs a lot lower even when driving the car “hard”.

Not gona lie, I was typing up the clever don't drive it joke and he clapped me down and drained my soul right at the beginning of the video. Well done sir.

I have been driving CVT transmission SUVs since 2005. Last week was the first time I had one fail and it had to be replaced. I always buy an extended warranty, and therefore got the new transmission at no cost. No idea why it crapped out. I am a careful driver. I never launched and will not launch the vehicle. I always make sure the vehicle is rolling forward before I would accelerate sort of hard if necessary. I always wait till the engine and transmission are warmed up before driving normally.

Thank you for your content, it's always insightful and straight to the point. a few questions: 1. what is the exact purpose of Neutral? Is it just for emergencies such as towing the car? 2. Would it be harmful to the transmission to engage in sport mode while on the move i.e for overtaking or for driving uphill? 3. Finally, I was curious on the effects of start/stop systems on CVT's Thank you.

I loved the CVT in my wife's Subaru. No problems ever and always in the perfect gear for the situation without shifting. I do not understand the hatred of the CVT by some people.

limited torque on hills because it's controlled by a computer. Believe it or not with a stick shift subaru you can spin all 4 wheels up a snowy hill which would actually get you up the hill slightly faster - static friction be damned. And it's typically not possible on the cvt versions. More computer oversight. Sometimes the computer oversight won't let you use more than 40hp. Checkout fast lane truck's video of a cvt subaru stuck on a tiny dirt hill. I think the biggest issue is the nissan cvts. They were too cheap and killed many cars.

I've owned 2 CVT's now, a Honda Civic and Nissan Qashqai. Both have been economical and with the Honda I had a tow bar installed and frequently towed loaded trailers with it without any issues over 4 years of ownership. The Qashqai handles cruising and speed limiting extremely smoothly and is an incredibly easy drive both in the city and on longer drives. Haters gonna hate I suppose. If you love the sound and feel of a manual you will never want anything else. If however you are after a smooth and efficient ride, CVTs are great until the electric revolution really takes hold.

The gov't has already imposed strict mile per gallon standards on car manufacturers to get ever more strict within the next decade. Manufacturers are implementing CVTs in cars in order to meet these standards. It's not a question of if you'll own a CVT but more likely when you'll own a CVT. As the technology advances to be able to handle higher torque applications, you'll start seeing them in truck applications even.

Hydramatics in the 1950s were specifically designed so that, without damage, they could be quickly shifted between low and reverse. The reason they were so designed is that by doing so a car could be rhymically rocked to get unstuck if stocked on slippery surfaces such as ice or snow, or in mud. I was often an effective technique. The owner's manual even explained the technique. That was one reason that the shift indicator was N D S L R (the early Hydramatics had no Park); with low next to reverse, rocking the car was expedited. Then, for some reason, the effective idea of rocking a car to get unstuck was scrapped. Now, if one is stuck, the likelihood of getting unstuck without help is greatly reduced.

This has been one of the funniest videos on this channel. Love it👍🏼

I've actually noticed with the two cvt vehicles I've ever owned, that if I have to come to a quick stop, that the car starts shaking noticeably unless I shift it into neutral until it's time to go again. What's up with that?

I drive a Subaru, tow a trailer regularly and have no problems even when overlanding with a 2" suspension lift, larger wheels and tires and the added weight of a steel winch bumper and winch plus gear. No CVT troubles at all.

Apparently constant abrupt stats and stops can cause excessive wear on Honda CVTs (pulley style) . I drive mine about 45min to work and back daily and while I feel it's reliable but I dont feel that you should floor it from a stop all the time and expect it to last. I think that is part of the reason Toyota added a launch gear....

Your engineering presentation is very good. What's amazing though, is you combine the presentation alongside seamlessly reverse(?) writing on the window so casually, that most people probably did not even notice. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that.

5:29, actually this is pretty acurate, i have never driven a car with a CVT, however i drive a car with manual transmission and this point applies here as well, because sometimes there is human error, the feel that gives me is than when i try to go from 1st or 2nd gear to reverse without having stopped the car completely, it feels like some plates are still spinning and can't attach each other and sounds quite awful

glad that you did CVT videos despite all the haters

I think I might be the first person ever to blow yes sadly blow an eCVT transmission. How it happened, I hit road debris and had no idea but I actually punctured the transmission cooler thus pumping all of the fluid out. The car being a sweet PHEV has warnings to let you know the hood is up, the doors are open you are low on gas but sadly no hey you are low on transmission fluid. While pulling off of the interstate and coming to a stop I had that loud thud and no more drive. Ford (It's a Fusion Energi) replaced the transmission at my cost. We pulled the Transmission off of the motor and to my surprise the transmission case actually had a 2" round hole in the case by where the engine mounts to the transmission. Needless to say it was not a good day, (They wanted $6,500 to replace it, car had 57K miles on it) Luck would have it there was a CMAX Energi that was rear ended and we bought the used transmission. Install cost for the whole thing was just shy of 4K. Word to the engineers, we know when we are running out of washer fluid, we know when our hood is open but we do not know when we are leaking transmission fluid (plus you don't give us a dipstick anymore) give us a warning light before it is too late!

Hey Fast Nasty, I'd be fascinated to know which transmissions you have in the most for repair. Is Ford a culprit of regular failure?

I have a eCVT in my 2013 Ford Fusion hybrid. Works great other than the lag (but that has moreso to do with the combination of engine and transmission than just the transmission alone). If the combined system had more torque/power, then I would probably be able to make better use of it, but as it stands, it sadly, doesn't, so oh well. I live with it. With gas prices where they are and I'm getting a combined 39.2 mpg (which isn't the best that these cars can get, but it's also a lot better than many others), it serves its purpose well.

@@DIE2dayORelse I think that the more interesting test would be the time it will take your Accord CVT to accelerate from 72 km/h to 120 km/h (45-75 mph) BUT you are LIMITED in terms of % foot rotation (i.e. you can only give it say like upto 40% throttle). THAT would be a lot more interesting. The reason why I say this is because - sure, you can rev the piss out of an engine, just to get your car going -- OR, if the engine+motor was more powerful (and/or more torque) to begin with, then you wouldn't have to put as much pedal input (or floor it), JUST to get your car going. I CAN floor it to merge onto a highway, but I shouldn't have to.

Sport riding with a CVT confuses the hell out of it but for cruising and smoothness it can't be beat.
