We didn’t realize at first that my wife’s Nissan Rogue had a CVT. when we gave it to our son, he had some problems that the Nissan dealer said required the installation of a transmission oil cooler. Why it didn’t come with one is a mystery. But since it was installed, he has had zero problems with it. And he lives in the foothills in Colorado.

My 1993 Toyota Corolla has 325,000 miles on it and the automatic is still changing as good as it always did. I am 66 years old and I am hoping that I can drive this car for another 10 years. My garage loves it as it is one of the older cars that were very easy to work on. I have it serviced at the proper intervals and all I have really had done mechanically was to replace the two front drive shafts. I love this car and I would not understand a modern car. My mobile phone is 10 years old. It has 9 functions in it but I only use 3. To ring some one, for some one to ring me and texts and that is it. All that modern crap in cars these days I would never use. When I go some where I still use a paper map. It works better than anything else that I have ever seen. I wish cars were as simple as my old 1964 XM Falcon that had the Super Pursuit 170 motor. Now that really was a beautiful car and simple to work on. In our town many years ago we had a man that was driving his 1920s Hupmobile until he died in the late 1980s. He never needed another car and it drove beautifully. I got rid of my modern fuel injected motorcycle and bought a 2006 Yamaha V Star 650 Cruiser Classic which is a modern motorcycle that still has carburetors, is fully air cooled and has adjustable tappets NO SHIMS. I can do anything to this motorcycle myself and I do not have to worry that it will stick me up some where. The same with the car. Ultra reliable both the car and the motorcycle.

For those wanting to make their CVTs last longer, here's a few tips: 1)Shift to Neutral right before coming to a stop, and back to Drive only when time to go (relieving the stress on the belt), 2) Do not down shift to Ds to try and engine break, and 3) Do not tow anything. CVTs Achilles' heel is the belt which can be made of different materials and design. When the belt stretches too much, it will cause slipping and then you will need a new transmission. Back in the 70's, I had a mini bike with CVT transmission (2 variable pulleys with a belt around them - called torque converter back then). It did not have neutral and thus the belt was always engaged. I had to pull hard on the brakes to get it to stop and stay that way since it always wanted to surge forward. So baby the belt by not putting any more tension on it that needs to be.

Honda CVT is most reliable. Toyota and Subaru CVT tie for close second. Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi are third. Nissan has the most CVT issues unfortunately. If possible usually buying traditional automatic transmission with torque converter is much more reliable than cvt.

I drive a 2015 mitsubishi Mirage. Love it in that car even though I was skeptical. I think CVT transmissions and compact cars with low power engines are a match made in heaven. It keeps the engine in the torque band much better than a traditional automatic or manual (that I test drove) would. And on the freeway that little 3 banger is turning less than 3k rpm. In anything else, I would go traditional automatic.

2009 br9 Subaru legacy here. Tr690 cvt with 319,000kms. Regular fluid changes at 30,000kms with adaptive reset every time has kept this old girl sweet

I bought a new Subaru Forester with a CVT in 2014. At 3800 miles the CVT started getting jerky when excelerating from a stop. Subaru would not do anything about it. All they would tell me is "some of them just do that". I don't have the money to hire a team of lawyers to fight with Subaru, so I got rid of it and now am quite happy with my Honda Accord with a 6 SP manual. Needless to say, I'll damn sure never own another Subaru and I'll damn sure never own another CVT.

Here is my experience: I purchased a 2015 Nissan Murano new in July 2015. We had transmission issues starting week 1! Hesitation and then over acceleration were addressed with multiple software tweaks but never corrected the issue. My CVT transmission failed and was replaced under warranty by Nissan in June 2019 at 52,000 miles. Today 11-29-21, at 62,100 miles, my transmission failed again due to the transmission oil/cooler/radiator assembly failing to cause the cooling fluid and the transmission fluid to mix, resulting in having to replace the Transmission, Radiator, and associated assemblies for a cost to me of approximately $6,700! Based on my research, this is a known issue with Nissan CVTs but was only partially addressed in the Class Action lawsuit because individual owners had to personally sue Nissan and their vehicle models and years were the only ones included in the extended warranty. How a judge does not include all Nissan vehicles with the CVT is beyond me especially when my dealership was replacing three a week when my 2015 Murano's CVT was replaced. All my service was completed at the dealership and we never prevent any work from being done when required. The only upside is Nissan is paying for 80% of the repair but I am still paying out of pocket on something I believe should be fully covered. If I had an Altima with the same issue it would be covered under the class action suit extended warranty coverage but the same CVT with known issues in another Nissan model is not covered!

If you get a car with a CVT make sure you have one that complies with California emissions cuz the one that complies with Federal admissions standards because people like the sound of their tranny Shifting the car companies made them stick at certain points for certain speed ranges to give you that shifting sound and that makes the CVT work harder because it's running at higher RPMs they overheat and get destroyed so the car companies ruin them also you need to make sure they get flushed every 40,000 miles like they say they should be because the fluid in them is thinner than normal tranny fluid and it runs through much smaller holes and if you let it get too old it gets thick starts to come up those holes and then it overheats and gets destroyed

@@luisferrusquia13 transmission “flush” is absolutely not required on a car. You got ripped off on a service that not only is unnecessary for your vehicles transmission, but also has the potential to damage it. My dodge avenger has a regular four speed transmission, and the way it’s supposed to be serviced and the way I service it: after the 100k mile mark I took off the transmission oil pan under the car which results in about half of the worn transmission fluid to be drained. I replaced the transmission filter, put it back on and replaced the amount that came out with fresh oil. After that, every few years I will take a siphon pump and pump several quarts out of the transmission dip stick, and replace it with fresh fluid. For a cvt, there is no filter to change so what you need to do, is simply siphon out or drain the transmission oil, and refill it with fresh oil. Keeping clean oil in your transmission will ensure that it will last the life of your car. My dodge avenger has 250k miles and is 12 years old and the transmission is in perfect working order. The fluid is clean and red. All because I’ve made sure to suck out the worn fluid every few years and replaced it with fresh fluid, of the same type that the owners manual calls for. It’s really that simple.

Subaru CVTs have been pretty reliable, plus come with a 10 year or 100,000 miles warranty so if it did fail, you're covered. It makes sense for manufacturers to figure out how to make them reliable if they're cheaper to make. Less moving parts means they could be more reliable than standard geared trans in the future.They're getting better and better but time will tell.

Toyotas' (AISIN) and Hondas' CVT transmissions are way more reliable and durable than the Nissans' (JATCO).

I'll bet it really depends on the brand of CVT and the type of driving you're doing. I much prefer traditional automatic transmissions to CVT's, as they're much more reliable even if they're not quite as smooth. I'd have a manual transmission if my daily terrain was flat and even. I live in Vancouver though, which is nothing but hills, stops, and bottlenecks, which makes manual driving an absolute pain. So I drive a car with one of Toyota's FANTASTIC A-series automatic transmissions. The car is 17 years old and the automatic transmission is still as solid as ever. I would NEVER trade one in for a CVT, even if Toyota's K-series is known to be more solid than their competitors.

I find gearboxes one of tgr most interesting things on cars. Especially with all the tech in them

I have learned a lot from your channel. You mentioned you have never seen a Corolla's CVT go bad. I'm in the aito industry and there is now an open recall on Corollas. It's related to the electronic control unit and possible improper programming that could csuse a component in the CVT to unnecessarily cycle and cause abnormal wear. If damaged, indicator light will come on along with a big reduction in speed. This affects newer midels, up to 2017. Just thought you would find this info interesting.

Hi Scotty! I really hope you see my message... I would like to know how the power is initially transfered from the enginee to the transmission in a CVT setup and how does it affect you capability to inch forward and tow. For example, with standard transmissions we have the clutch, and we can manipulate it to inch forward (what is not ideal). With automatics, we have the torque converter that allows you to transfer a lot torque in low speed. How about CVT? Does it "slip the belt" for initial smooth power transfer?

I also find its a bold statement to make, as your not releasing any stats to the causes of the returns. I remember this young blond lady, she brought a mazda 2 and we replaced the gear box 4 times in 20,000km. It was only when a mechanic was walking home after a night out, he saw her (heard) change from 5 gear to 1st when doing around 70km an hour. We later found videos of people that had submitted of her doing this in normal driving. We also found videos of her boyfriend racing the car (plates matched). Point is, people are dumb and reckless. People with a warranty or a well built car think they can do whatever and she'll be right.
