Understanding the do's and don'ts of a CVT transmission requires understanding how the transmission works. There are two common types on the market, including traditional CVTs with torque converters, as well as eCVTs such as that used on the Lexus CT200h in this video. Some practices to avoid include putting the car in neutral when coming to a stop, holding yourself on a hill using throttle (if the system is clutch based), coasting in neutral, neutral dropping the vehicle for a launch, changing directions (from D to R) while the vehicle is still moving, and inching forward (if the system is clutch based).

1) Never use a window on a CVT vehicle as a whiteboard.
Lpl
Lol*
Especially if the background behind the window is dark or dark green. LOL
And dont write backward
For a smart guy, how could he think a clear window can be a whiteboard??
If you want the marker to work you must perform a windows update
get2vivek good one! 😂
The first marker had a poor wireless connection.
Idk why but i thought this was hilarious
That was clever
He's using a Apple marker on a window
That's the problem
Best thing for a CVT? Change the fluid often and before manufacturers recommendations.👍🏻 Fluid cost less than iron, everytime.
Very true
I heard on other sites that doing that with some dealers will nullify your warranty? Don't have experience with that.
You save even more money just by not buying anything with a CVT.
David P idk bout that lol I have a 2017 Ford Fusion energi and it has a cvt and electric motor and I drive 40 miles every day and if I charge my car it cost me $30 to has a month so i save a lot of money
@@casio5658 But it isn't really a CVT. It means any electric motor is basically a CVT. The main problem with a traditional CVT is that metal belt. Yours hasn't got a belt. As explained it has a planetary gear.
I always thought once your doing 60, you put the gear in “R” for race .
Only if your ready to handle all that power
No you do “P” for pass the competition
r is for repo
Actually, cvts are able to do 60 in reverse.
Not recommended to throw it in reverse doing 60 forward tho
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Put my car into D for day works well But in N for night nothing happens???
Glen Dooer R for rest
And, if equipped, L for Laid.
I don't have that option. :(
U have to blow on it.
P for public intoxication
"D" is for "Despacito"
the one huge advantage to a cvt is the possibility of the car to drive in full speed in reverse
Cool. Now I can turn my car from FWD to RWD and do some mad drifts!
Unless I has a speed limiting system for reverse, then, nope
+Steven Tenney electric car motors are 3 phase?
+MrJockeyHD old stuff if DC but hybrids and Tesla's have inverters that make 3phase AC power.
With 3 phase induction motors eventually, but with 3 phase synchonous motors that are very common it won't work because the field has to match the rotor position and it won't turn..
I’m not a professional driver. I tried inching forward, but not on a closed course, and my car exploded.
Gotta listen to those warnings next time.
Robert
Extreme.
I hope you're okay and have healed from any explosion-related injuries.
Josh Plett 😄
My last two vehicles were equipped with CVT. Kept the vehicle's time and distance maintenance schedule very strictly. Never had a problem with the CVTs. That's with a lot of high mileage vacation driving with short mileage commuter driving. So, I guess, keep to the maintenance schedule. I really enjoy the smooth transmission action.
30k cvt fluid change??
30k cvt fluid change??
@@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 👍👍
Just like a normal transmission. Nothing wrong with a cvt, everything wrong with a cheap cvt.
@@saintrhoads3375 Exactly...Most CVT's are reliable enough as long as you change the fluid out at proper intervals and will last as long as regular transmissions. That being said, the only area where they seem to be more sensitive is if you DON'T change the fluid. 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.
Don't drive it.
Had to be done........
Clever girl...
But seriously, I love your vid's! Keep it up!

beautiful execution
everything works better on Mac

I have one question: why did you think writing on a window was a good idea?
To be fair if there was a white solid background it would’ve been a really cleaver
@@user-white007 The Queen said if she had balls she'd be the King!

A lot of colleges set up study rooms with windows to be used as whiteboards
#11: Don't put the pedal to the metal directly after starting the engine. The steel belt will slip, which it is not designed for.
And that’s why I like what Toyota has done with their CVT. They have an actually first gear with a chain for launch
In any car this is good protocol to follow. Otherwise, with the low lubricity of the oil since it’s been sitting for a given amount of time, it could damage other components in your engine and transmission
Yeah… you should not do that in any car with an ice… unless you want to rebuild your engine every 50k miles

Nextime you want to try the clever door-window-whiteboard thing...Just wear a white shirt, and stand behind the illustration for the required contrast/visibility.
Or have a light blue sky or desert for the backdrop. Or he could use a thick white marker.
Or use a larger sensor/big aperture so the background is melting soft and smooth bokeh goodness, then only the glass and writing will be in focus.
Agreed!
Or don't "try" to be clever and use a white board instead!
Basic.
I would love to see an updated video like this concerning some of the newer CVT's and specifically the Subaru CVT used in the WRX. Thoughts, review and your usual dispensing of knowledge bombs on us poor, non-engineer types. Thanks for all the great videos!
Continuously Valve Timings have Atmospheric Detecters, also used in main catalytic converter.
I don’t have time to make a video, but I would just like to say that as somebody who builds transmissions for a living: I adore CVT’s. Modern CVTs are fantastic
How did you get so good at writing backwards?
Writing words like "Hill" is a little easier
Maybe the video was mirrored? :D
The sacrifices I make to please subscribers!
Toasticz still have to reverse order but not letters.
He didn't, he just wrote it and reflect it afterward when he edited it.
In the first part he was writing with his right hand and suddenly he wrote things with his left hand
I would love a video comparing the longevity and reliability of a CVT versus a traditional automatic transmission. I routinely get over 200K on traditional automatic transmissions with nothing but fluid changes.
And CVTs have a lifespan of about 100k miles. If grandma drives it, it might last longer.
I got 140k off my Mk5 VW Rabbit with 5 speed MANUAL transmission off the STOCK CLUTCH and fluid, no fluid changes, clutch was still strong when I sold it (body rust from road salt)
Total transmission maintenance cost? $0.00! Seven years of reliable service, not a penny spent on fluid changes or rebuilds or anything, the manual is better, period.
Miles or kilometres?
@@ambergris5705 Miles
@@quagmirewarrior4202 where’d you get that number from. So inaccurate. If you don’t take care of the car then yeah you’re right
"Professional driver. Closed course. Do not attempt" 😂😂😂
When you realise he didn't write backwards but just flipped the camera.
If you can find the clutch, feel free to rest your foot on it lmao
Quinn Kirlew I laughed out loud!! great joke
It's been a while, I know... but I've had both an automatic and a manual transmission vehicle that had a stock "dead pedal" that is basically a fake pedal footrest for your left foot to use when not on the clutch pedal, whether or not that exists in the particular vehicle. So apparently, yes, you can sell that. XD
Cvt tractors have clutches for the shuttle

Good video man
1 Thing You Should Never Do In A CVT Vehicle.
Buy one.
You beat me to it hahaha
If you listen closely, you can hear Jason from a distance get very annoyed by that joke.
HA HA SO ORIGINAL WOWEE dude he called you out in the video. He called this joke out before you even saw the video. Get out.
CVT's are jokes. And I'm annoyed by CVT's. If CVT = Joke, then I, too, am annoyed by jokes. My wife owned a Murano. Felt like the engine wasn't even attached to the car, but rather, the engine was outside towing the car via elastic tow straps. 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.
do you know the real capabilities of a CVT? Do you know you can have false fix gears? There's even a Subaru WRX CVT and it works perfectly well and fast
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.
Anymore info? Interesred in the difference
The biggest difference is that the Hybrid Synergy Drive used on ALL Toyota and Lexus vehicles DOES NOT have a mechanical reverse system.
Reverse is achieved ENTIRELY VIA ELECTRIC MOTORS. Seriously!
Even if the engine is running first thing in the morning, you are reversing using the electric traction motor only! 🤓
@@datathunderstorm so the cvts in 2015 or 16 es, would they be reliable? One of my relatives had a Prius ran well he sold it at 160k miles.
@@bengal-desi6526 again: toyota hybrids do not have a traditional cvt.
if maintained properly, the thing is basically unkaputtbar.
I drove a Nissan micra with conventional 4 speed cvt. start acting up after 120k miles. now have a ct200h with 160k miles and the whole car drives like it's new. only issue iv had with it is clogged egr valve. causing engine vibration. cost 200 euro to fix.
the title says 5 things you should never do in a cvt, but i'm at minute 5:30 and i'm at number 9 of things that you can do optionally.
this should have thousands of upvotes.
he is an engineer, not a mathematician I suppose :p
Thank you for the warning man
NEVER EVER BUY A VEHICLE EITH CVT. ITS A RIP OFF. A WAY FOR DEALERSHIP TO ROB YOU. YOU CAN'T CHECK FLUID YOURSELF A LITTLE D COST $250 EVERYTIME YOU WANT IT CHECKED OR CHANGED!
Jkki C You don't change the fluid. you don't need to check it.
Thanks for the info - we just purchased our first CVT vehicle, a new Crosstrek for my wife and it's good to know there really are no "secret no-no's" we should avoid. I appreciate it.
DUDE you just wrote all that stuff backwards!
Look at the stickers on the windows at 3:06. They're not flipped as they should be if he flipped the video.
Yup, you're right. Never mind then :)
Sh.. he is an Engineer! he clearly knows what he is doing.
waclosh But you can't bloody see it 😂
Yes drawing on a wIndow is reverse engineering explained
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!
So, in summary, what 5 things should you never do in a CVT vehicle? You seem to have skipped that bit.
This entire video illustrates every reason I thoroughly appreciate Jason's videos. The dry, semi-self-deprecating humor? Love it.
I think if cvts were around first and someone tried to introduce a regular automatic transmission no one would buy the "new auto transmission". They'd complain about the engine noise.
Drew Beans true
Drew Beans jesus christ
CVT has been around for a very long time.. it is nothing new....
One other invention before the CVT concept, is the friction disc transmission that it had it's beginnings in the 1900's, and is used today in Snapper mowers and snow blowers for example.
Drew Beans Exactly. People are afraid of change.

Daniel Jensen his videos are awesome still XD maybe he had a time constraint XD... should’ve brought a backup whiteboard tho
I think once he realized the second window worked so much better (and it really did), he should have quickly re-shot the scene he did on the first window. Then it would have been a complete non-issue. He also tried to draw backward for the first two, and then gave up and did a mirror flip in post for the third, the way Because Science does. That's how all these presenters write on glass hanging in front of them -- they just do it normal on their side, and fix it in post.
Oh well, it was good enough and he picked up a trick each time, so he'll probably be an expert at it in three more tries.

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
they're also good for luxurie cars, as they are smooth shifting.
NotSoNerdGaming well true that
Yes but it's weak.
Shamie Ramsamuj stronger than automatic...im surprised

Long time manual driver, got my first CVT about 2 years ago. I'm actually very impressed, and still don't find it boring. Maybe I'm just getting old now, but I'm still enjoying the CVT. Especially knowing I can now step on it with no issues lol.
This video should of been called “CVT is not a manual transmission”.
"CVT is just a shitty automatic." /jk some CVTs can be perfectly fine like Toyota's or Honda's, just not very fun.
@@1blackice1 Actually, you're correct the first time. Their lifespans are half as long as 6 speed automatics.

I don't know why people hate on CVT's so much. They're pretty efficient. I guess people just want to feel a gear shifting?
If you're like me and grew up with REAL transmissions (three pedals and a stick) you really don't want to drive anything else. Also, automatics are boring as hell.
I don't know why illiterates say "hate on"" instead of "hate".
Some people don't like things that are different from what they are used to. I can say that I didn't like the earlier cvts, however, the new ones are quite good.
In my opinion, the cvts are the best transmissions for city driving! Feels so comfortable and smooth
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”.
I'm so thankful for that professional driver disclosure. I almost went out to try that very thing.
I love my CVT. It's now done just over 200,000 km. I do put it in neutral at the lights every now and then since the engine mounts were replaced. There is a bit of engine vibration sitting in Drive.
But I love the fact that when you take off from the lights you rev the engine in one go to at 3000rpm until you hit your desired speed and that is as hard as you work the engine. Not the rec increase you get with a regular manual or automatic as the vehicle works its way up through the gears.
That 3000rpm is more related to stall point of the torque converter which a normal automatic also has.
Why is the car vibrating when u put it in drive?
1. get in it
2. sit in it
3. drive it
4.repeat 1-3
5.read 4
You forgot step 3.5, Get out of it
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.
it’s still there, in a way, except that it’s R-N-D. and braking between shifting works just as well.
what’s missing today is the driver skill.

Live n Learn Tip: Should've worn a white t-shirt and stood behind while drawing.
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.
When I saw how simple a ecvt was I feel in love immediately, what used to be a complicated repair job is now only a couple of parts
@@Meleeman011 ha ha... Simple does not equal easy or cheaper to repair.
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....

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. Still original batteries and parts when the car was made.
Toyota, my dudes.
Hybrids get worse milage on the highway not because of wind resistance but because its using the gas engine and not the electric.
@@sfbfriend he got worse mileage cause he was hauling a massive brick of a trailer... the prius gets phenomenal highway mileage cause it's slippery as all hell and has skinny tyres.

Well, if you buy some window chalk, and put your lens to a large aperture, I think it would look pretty good

3: The professional diver warning was hilarious
Why am I even watching this? I don't even own a CVT nor will I ever own one
same...
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.
+Josh Reiter they are already in large vehicles. I drive hybrid buses which weigh in at 39k lbs and use CVTs rated for a million miles. they have been in our fleet since 2007.
Josh Reiter Some manufacturers seem to avoid the CVTs with more gears. Mercedes, among others, got 9 speed transmissions. That's not far away from a truck's transmission. By the way, isn't CVTs really expensive? And non-durable?
What xBuzz996 was saying is that manufacturers are avoiding CVT's BY using gearboxes with more discreet gears (speeds).
1. It is OK to rest your hand on a gearshift.
2. No need to put into neutral at a stop.
3. Don't hill hold with the throttle.
4. Feel the power. Feel it.
5. Rest your food on the clutch pedal.
6. Don't coast in neutral.
7. Don't neutral drop your car.
8. Always come to a complete stop.
9. Inching forward is bad.
10. Shift away. Smile.
Just saved you 7 minutes of life.
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.
I can do it, but it takes a bit of practice.
glad that you did CVT videos despite all the haters
big shout out to Engineering Explained's Backwards Writing abilities
This is the only reason he chose to write on the windows. He wanted to show that off 😂
People need to get over the CVT it’s a great automatic & in the WRX its a fantastic daily car with excellent performance 👍
I did doing all of these. A clutch suddenly appeared and I unlocked the infinite fuel cheat code.
The best thing is not to buy a CVT transmission. All manufacturers know CVT sucks but they know dealers will make money when they go bad.
I've heard that most CVTs work well except the JATCO that are used in Nissans.
Jatco makes cvts for other auto makers too.
My Nissan CVT has 300K miles on with no issues.
JATCO. makes CVT'S for other cars too.While non are that good seems Nissan is the worst.Then again I was reading that the problem with the Nissan was not adequate cooling, so maybe not the CVT itself?
@@EzraPedersen 🤣
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.
I had a Toyota Avensis with a CVT here in the UK for nearly ten years and it never put a foot wrong. Boring to drive but the reliability was amazing.
I have one too! How much milage does your Avensis have and have you ever changed the transmission fluid?
@@mackysobrevega1780 I put about 100k miles on it and, no, I never changed the transmission fluid. Brilliant car. Unfortunately it met an untimely end when I had a bad collision with a large deer and wrote the car off. 🫤
Why is everybody against a CVT, the technology is pretty cool.
Horse riders were against cars in the past as well.
You buy CVT to save on gas. But otherwise better buy manual and feel the car as your bones kicking. Automatic is fast, but lacks manual feel. Basically, goes back, what is your preference.
People are just used to what it was before, the hate was there when electric cars first came on the scene. If they made a performance cvt transmission and by logic of physics it will be faster than the same car with a DCT people will start to change tune
Look up Subaru Justy CVT transmission failures. Then you might understand why people shy away from them.
I'm not against them in principal, but automakers have pretty much eliminated the advantages they offer over stepped transmissions because car buyers can't wrap their heads around CVT/engine behavior. It's not broken, it's supposed to function that way (referring to the constant engine RPM, etc.)!

the Toyota P7100, P711 eCVT in Toyota , Lexus and some Hondas is the only one to buy it has combined the differential both ways into the transaxle to the wheels and to the petrol and electric motors via planetary set up which is all controlled by computer to give the best mileage possible under all conditions. This is advanced mechanics which today is too advanced for most petrol heads to appreciate so all they can do is criticise it
Why is noone mentioning how amazing your backwards writing is?!
they are tho. 5th top comment is that
@@SpaceMissile dude my comment was 5 months ago. Keep up!
@@cookiebob_ well then delete it if you don't want people commenting on it. there's no reason to be rude to me. :(

2:40 your welcome
am i the only one who likes the style of this lexus. lol imagine a lexus CTF 😂
😍😍
I love it. I drove an F Sport model, handling was great, steering was very heavy and precise in sport mode, and interior was ridiculously well designed and comfortable. It's just slow as hell! I'd own one.
i love it too :)
Imagine CT-F with the 200t engine. Would be quite awesome :)
The CT200h is a great handling car. It's the Prius based drivetrain that gives it a bad rep. They should have created a CT300h using the Camry Hybrid drivetrain.
I don't own a CVT vehicle but I was most impressed by your ability to write backward while talking
I'm just amazed at your mirrored writing
Yea what the heck?? He must’ve just flipped the image?
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!
Warning lights are usually too late as well. The warning lights on my 95 ford contour came on after the head gasket blew and the car died.
Insurance????
As a transmission tech i agree with Lance the man on this. Done a lot of rebuilds because of low fluid from leaks they didn't know about.
I blew one up, did you know that just slapping an engine that produces much more power and fabricating a coupling to it will blow one up?
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 Accord with CVT. It was strange getting used to it as I was anticipating shifts. I regularly get 40 mpg on the highway and it's fairly quick from standing start, although it seems reluctant to "downshift". 60k miles and no problems so far.
Awsome info..we jus bought a 16' accord sport with 29k..iam about to change the fluid in it..so far so good tho..ill continus to change fluid every 25k..or 3 years..how often are u changing it?
@@edubb2491 does yours have a cVt?
@@driveonthestraightpath2138 yep
@@edubb2491 60k mikes the first time and 30k after that
You are about halfway there to where they go out.
Question > Its clearly stated in Nissan manual Never to roll a CVT car backwards w/ all 4 wheels on the ground > My question is > What if I slid into a ditch nose first & had to be winched out?-say 60 feet
there’s No choice but to roll it backwards- do I put the car in Neutral or Reverse when being winched out?
Will the CVT be damaged ? Thanks in advance
The humour in these videos gets me every time.
He's drawing a diagram on a window with all the image distraction on the foreground, perfect!
Haha, exactly my thoughts 😅
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.
Did you change the fluid every 30k miles??
The fluid is the life of the vehicle dirty fluid shorten the life of any vehicle by half
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.
When you used the windows for a chalk board everything went out the window for me. You talked so fast I thought I was watching a movie from the 1930's. But I watched the presentation 3 times to catch what your saying. And thanks so much for this valuable info.
Worst video you've ever done. I love it.
Supposed to use CVT markers for the CVT window, makes it show up better
What about driving in a sportive way? It does not matter if I drive mechanical or automatic. I shift down, I don t change gears cornering. Before doing a passing maneuver on a normal road, I shift down to have at least 3000rpm or more, to pass fast and inmediatly. I like to have the engine breaking also. While driving in D there is almost no engine braking. My cuestion is : how does this go on a CVT transmission? Is there engine braking? Does the car react inmediatly like if I would be in a certain gear? A automatic car driving in D, when you accelerate, he first changes of gear and then accelerates. Driving like I do, it does not do that, it is already in the gear I want... So, how is this on CVT?
Traditionally the term ECVT was used to describe CVT with electric clutch. No idea where the new definition that you are using came from. This kind of clutch works using magnetic powder within a very small gap which hardens on magnetic force applied by coils. There is no traditional "usage" of that clutch, since it never partially engages. Instead it is digital, so either on or off. This improves efficiency a lot. The only thing is, that you need to replace the coil contacts every 150000 km and exchange the powder, because it tends to age and form clumps after a few years (5-10 depending on usage)
Compared to a typical clutch replacement, the costs are minimal though (~15-25$ for all materials)
Toyota / Lexus use the term E-CVT to describe their transmission, but it isn't anything like a traditional CVT mechanically. It has a Continuously Variable Ratio, so it is a type of CVT. The original name for their transmission was THS = Toyota Hybrid System. Toyota now call it HSD = Hybrid Synergy Drive. Personally I find the term "E-CVT" downplays the technology and prefer the term "HSD".
how long the transmission fluid lasts? What fluid is recommended for eg in a mazda hybrid? Anubisviech
Your shirt made a better back-drop than the leaves...for future reference.
I learned this while editing haha.
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?
would you rather have your engine take the strain or your brakes? which one costs less to repair?
@@gschaaf713 any modern car deactivates the fuel injectors when you're engine braking with no throttle. 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.
CVTs are great.
Mine's well over 200,000. Just maintain the thing.
Super economical, and goes like crazy in sport mode.
Don't drive it.
I have not even finished watching the video, I just could not wait.
also don't buy one
You also drive a honda civic. So just to make a wild guess, driving pleasure is not high on your list of priorities.
ChainsawDude love
I have a Honda Civic hatch sport with cvt and there's nothing to complaine about. Traded my Dodge charger in for it actually and wouldn't think about trading back.
Later this year before Christmas, Honda comes out with their new oil formulated synthetics for changing the oil on the cvt. It should stop any oil dilution you may encounter.
One could say, you were having a problem with this version of Windows. Lol.
Only by number 8 I realized he's writing mirrored for us to see it straight. And so effortless, it's amazing!
Nice to see this video since I drive a CVT car.
Same here have a 2016 civic has a cvt
Had one, traded it in. Nothing but trouble..
+jon doe what kind of trouble?
Do you not have a soul?
its pretty much the same as the "things you should never do in an automatic transmission" video.
Your viewers should be aware of significant problems Subaru owners are experiencing with CVT transmissions in the 2014-2018 model run. Made not by Subaru but by Jatco, these troubled transmissions are also used in several Nissan products. I know one Sentra owner who has had three transmissions in the first 18 months of ownership.
The problem is so severe that Subaru is now extending the transmission warranty to 10 years or 100,000 miles.
Jatco is a subsidiary of Renault-Nissan and is not known for reliable products. One mechanic told me that Subaru should replace the entire transmission for one with a better design but is looking for the cheap way out.
yup nissan cvt are junk
Jatco CVTs do suck, but were _never_ used by Subaru. You're repeating something that has no basis in reality.
Never get a crapco CVT...
The main thing you should never do with a CVT is buy one. Never
Getting harder for the average consumer when most cars are made with a cvt gearbox these days
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 drive a CVT. And I love it! I think all the haters are clueless or dodge owners. Mash the pedal and feel the torque throw you back in the seat all the way to redline.
#1 rule. Just don’t buy one. $5,400 dealer price tag.
#6 - Forget to change the transmission fluid, at the service interval.
Ben Smith which holds true for literally every car 😁
Clear as mud..gave up when the clever idea of drawing on a window with a green background literally started evaporating..🤣🤣🤦🏽♂️
