I have a 07 jeep with a CVT. I'm at 143k miles. & Zero issues.
You should buy a lottery ticket asap. No seriously, don't respond to this.... go buy it NOW! Thank me later and maybe give me 25%.
@@jeremywj I'm almost positive that the previous owner had it rebuilt. The plastic cover for the shifter is loose. So that's why I think that. Hopefully it was.. kinda want this thing to last.
Thanks for those useful tips.
Glad you find the video helpful! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
Very nice video and thank you for the great tips! Do we have to change fluid from the torque converter or just the fluid from the pan every 30,000 miles?
Amsoil CVT fluid workes much better in my Nissan Versa than the Nissan factory fluid. No more chattering!
Ive been using castrol cvt fluid for 40k miles now. Change it 2x a year. Im at 60,000 miles now. Also changed the filters.
Nice job on the maintenance routine! Your car must be running like a dream. I am sure with that, your CVT will last longer than normal.
@@HonestMechanicChannel thanks! This is my first cvt so I want it to last. I typically have driven manual since getting my license in 1999. I just really like this coupe for some reason. I'm a bit crazy with the maintenance. I do everything early, and often. I'm that guy underneath his car polishing the underside of the engine 😂. I even went so far as to get a new transmission drain bolt, and new oil drain bolt. Simply because the originals were looking a little warn out and old. I clean and protect areas of the car nobody will ever see. I keep silica packets and damp rid containers in the car just to help with moisture. All kinds of things most might find ridiculous. I want to own this car the rest of my life. Even if I get another car, and only drive this one a few month out of the year eventually.
2012 Nissan Quest with CVT 178,000 miles and I don’t have any problems. Changed fluid every 60,000 miles.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience!
Can you do a flush with these transmissions? I've heard bad things about flushing but it seems the reason they're recommended is because all of the old fluid is removed and you fill with all brand new fluid.
Just do a drain and fill every 30k…under extreme conditions do it every 15k
DO NOT FLUSH ANY TRANSMISSION. Always drain and fill.
I have 2012 cvt Honda accord v6 with 284123 miles. and it feels like new
That doesn't have a CVT lol
@@Alexbuilt😅
2013 was the first year for CVTs in Accords. If you have a V6, that means you a have a 6 cylinder conventional automatic. Also means you having a timing belt, not a chain.
Have a 2009 Honda Fit cvt with 225,000 miles. I use it for delivering pizzas.
during heavy traffic or stoplights, do you put it to N instead of just D and brake depressed? and if you do put it to N, do you press the brake first before switching to D?
Act similar to as you have ordinary automatic transmission. Most CVT have either a type of clutch or hydropowered type of breaking the torque
Hold down on brake for 2/5seconds while transmission shifts gears. The braking force will keep the torque converter engaged to prevent belt jump when the gear is shifted.
2019 Altima 232,000 miles and I only change my CVT fluid every 80,000 miles
That's impressive mileage! at least you are changing your fluid. Thanks for sharing
nissan sentra.. Bought new and sold at 320,000 kms. It worked like brand new even on the last day.
Regular engine and cvt oil and filter
Definitely! Thanks for sharing. Regular maintenance, especially consistent changes of engine and CVT oil and filters, really helps extend a vehicle's life and maintain its performance. It sounds like you took great care of it!
Correction don’t ever tow with cvt
cruise control is actually bs... it will rev up a lot up hills and brake killing your momentum going down hills.. you should gain speed going down a hill and lose a little speed going up hills.. thats how you can be more fuel efficient and easier on a transmission too.. cruise control is wasteful. i only use it when im in a 25 mph or school zone and the car just really wants to go 40..
Thanks for sharing.
Bottom line is they’re fragile.
True, CVT is nowhere near as robust as a conventional automatic with real gears, or manual transmissions which are becoming about as rare as hens teeth these days. That said CVTs work great and can be reliable in naturally aspirated 4 cylinder FWD family cars, but tend to tear up rather quickly when applied to turbo 4, V6 & V8 applications where high performance or towing is to be expected, thus you don't see CVT in pick up trucks and sports cars.
the Maxima and Pathfinder had them for years and they're pushing 300hp...Pathfinder had a 5k-6k tow rating (I only know this because my brother in law towed boats and atv trailers for years with no issues). They're fine if cared for properly. Jatco alone has produced over 50 million cvts worldwide and I guarantee 99 percent of them were fine with proper maintenance.
@@Sparky-ww5re it seems common knowledge that the 2.5 altimas failed earlier than 3.5 altimas and maximas, as the CVT was more robust on the V6's
Don't buy one
haha
It seems like ALL manufacturers are using them now. How can they be avoided (other than buying an older used car)?
@williamscanlan9681 honda uses cvt in the crv and its fine. From what I understand cvt problems usually happen in nissans and infiniti .
Recently bought a 2014 nissan nv200 with only 52K miles to be used as a van conversion. I did a lot of research on cvt transmissions and still bought it. First thing I did was change the engine oil and transmission fluid. Will do this frequently. Good news is now you don't need to buy expensive nissan ns3 or 4 fluid anymore as Castrol has the first crossover fluid for both transmission that is a fraction of the cost. Makes maintenance easier now.
Correct 😂😂😂😂
