scotyy just changed the game again
buy the 94 celica cvt will last forever lol
Hello Mr. Kilmer, how is the reliability of the 2nd generation 6f35 and 6f50 transmission in the Lincoln MKZ and/or Fusions? I have a 2016 MKZ that shifts a little bit hard occasionally. It has 80k miles. AWD. All highway miles as I live in the sticks. Thanks for your time. Have a great day! Also, when changing the trans fluid, don’t you have to be concerned about over filling? Due to the expansion of the fluid.
Scotty, you will see that in few more years, Toyota will only offer hybrid in some car like 2021 Sienna, Venza, and the rest models will be 70% hybrid with e-cvt. They are indeed reliable but that's will be the new normal. It already happened in Europe on yaris, corolla, camry, and all Lexus.
Toyota is using a better rubber band in their cvt transmissions.
"The thing works perfectly fine until it breaks."
-Scotty
Lol
You need to update that to, until it breaks around the corner
-crysler,nissan, kia
he's a reincarnated Yogi Berra!
"Thats just ridiculous " 🤷♂️
"they gooo, until they blowww"
Scotty once again masterfully conducts an invisible symphony orchestra.
When I look at it from your perspective, you are hilariously correct.
Good one!!!
If you tied his hands, he would be unable to speak.
Italian style
I know-drives ya nuts, don’t it?
Had two toyotas with cvt. Both saw high mileage . No problems whatsoever. Change oil and filter that's it.
If they put a cvt in the corollas, you know Toyota tested it well. I have a 2013 auris it’s all good
I’m so frustrated Standard Transmissions are being phased out and CVTs aren’t 🤬
It should've been the other way around, why fix if it ain't broken
CVTs sell better.
they wouldn't phase them out if people bought them.The problem is not many people want a standard. So manufacturers will mostly make what sells the most.
I imagine they will get better and better one day. Maybe even beat DCT in response time and able to keep the car at the best rpm at all time... That's if the EVs don't kill the development of ICE vehicles.
its cause Americans cant drive manual, they are too lazy to shift themselves
"As time goes on, they seem to be perfecting the CVT transmissions" In other words, the car buying consumers were Honda quality testers. And they paid the bill when the CVTs broke down.
2016 Toyota Corolla S has a CVT w/ 105k and no problems. Haven’t touched it...probably should change the fluid haha. Works great for me!
Real world experience:
2018 Civic EX-T (1.5 liter Turbo), bought new.
Currently, 94,400 miles, 33.2 mpg.
Transmission fluid changed twice.
Coolant flushed once.
Never redlined. Rarely exceeded 4,000 rpm. Always come to a full stop before shifting from reverse to drive. Always use the electronic parking break before releasing the break pedal when shifting to park.
As of Jan 3 2022: No issues, so far.
People here only want the bad news about cvt to form their opinion of it
nice!
@@keesknees exactly, internet “experts”
@@vincestone5465 it's so frustrating too because cvt's aren't nearly as bad as everyone thinks they are
UPDATE: As of Jan 1 2023, my 2018 Civic EXT with the 1.5 liter, turbo, GDI, CVT has 130,400 trouble-free miles averaging 34.1 mpg. The only parts I’ve replaced to date was the water pump, drive belt, and PCV valve (all maintenance) and the AC condenser (replaced under extended warranty at 120,000 miles). I still change the fluids early....3,800-4,200 mile intervals for the oil/filter and 25,000 mile intervals for the transmission fluid.
Got a used 2018 Civic Hatchback CVT a few months ago. Love it so far.
I own a 2015 Honda Civic, same color, 62000 miles, runs great.
Scotty's arch nemesis, the CVT Transmission
Should be yours, too.
Scotty vs. Jatco CVT
*Top 10 Anime Fights*
And Chrysler lol
Should be everyone's ARCH nemesis. CVT is a terrible idea to begin with.
And Fiat
Some companies got it right others didn't. They are not maintenance free. Rule of thumb change oil and filter every 60000 miles. Had two toyotas both saw 250 000 miles with no problems.
So what Scotty wants to tell Cvt is good or not i did not understand as he talks too fast :(
If you buy a cvt get a Toyota they seem to be the most reliable. Otherwise stick to a 4 speed auto or such
My previous ride was a 2001 Honda Civic HX with a CVT. I had it for 15-years. No problems and great fuel economy. My current car is a 2016 Honda Accord LX, also with a CVT. Runs fine.
If I were to buy a new car in 2021, I think it would be a Hybrid. Either a Prius or Camry.
I'm Dead Serious, Stop Buying Nissan cars and start buying 94' Celicas.
Nissans are junk. PERIOD!
A Z More importantly, Renault, Renault, and Renault
Nah i have 2000 xtrail and still fine but the trans are auto 4 speed more better than cvt
@@lordmeme9965 I have 288k miles on my cvt. Its been fine 4 me.
I'll never buy a Nissan again.
Poorly-engineered rattleboxes.
My Civic has 78k miles and still runs good. I change the CVT fluid every 20k miles!
Stop buying cars with a CVT! Stop buying homes with a HOA!
Finally, someone who speaks my language!
We have a 2014 civic lx with a CVT we purchased it new and now has 160,000 trouble free miles . Have changed the fluid in the CVT when it was recommended.
I see that TRD Toyota Camry back there Scotty😌
He just made a vid on it
@@RAYSGT nope, its a cool car and so is the avalon. People just can't accept change.
He doesn't have a garage he has a storage facility for his junk he'll never throw out. Unfortunately his next of kin is going to have to deal with it. He's kind of a horder.
GT86 go drive one, you’ll think otherwise
Goku Kakorot the red car in street you see behind him
I’m just glad Honda still makes a solid manual transmission.
That should be granted honestly
Agreed. Honda's manual transmission is excellent. Far far better reliability than their auto transmission.
Err a gearbox.
What next? Calling a liquid "Gas"?
😛
@@MrWilliam.Stewart no its a transmission
Should I get a Honda Civic Si? I'm seriously considering it instead of a CVT Civic Touring.
He's right about if they are designed right, it will last. My 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer has 160k miles and it still runs great! It does whine when it gets hot, but I change the fluid every 35k miles.
I plan to change the fluid and filter every 35k miles also.
It's now 2024 and I am buying a Toyota with CVT. I've heard they're very reliable. Thanks for your advice.
4:24 "Very competent mechanics"
*PERFECT* picture for that comment, Scotty! 😂
Its honestly true in my experience. The absolute best mechanics are usually pretty rough looking and their shop is grimey af and lacking creature comforts.
I have a 2014 subaru forester with a CVT. 115,000 miles and no issues and no maintenance due yet. Still works as it did the day it was driven off the lot.
We have a 2014 forester with 120k (the engine burns oil but that’s beside the point) the cvt is alright but the problem I have is Subaru’s programming, for example we have and Altima corolla and forester of the three I think the Forester cvt is the worst because is huge delay when pressing the gas and how it just takes off while in the corolla and Altima you can slowly accelerate and be just as fast but the forester as soon as you barely press the gas is just goes
Before clicking on your video I was 100% sure it's the CVT
Hi Scotty, I have the i-shift transmission Honda 2006. This is a manual trans. Robotized, there are two actuators controlled by the Computer to change the gears. Sure the clutch wears out like a normal manual transmission. The next thing is the actuators, 2 of them have to be rebuild, but that is no biggy, they are like 400 US for both. They last around 150K miles or they say. I am at 89K miles so I have few years to go yet. But in the UK where these Honda's Civic 8-gen were build, they have it down pretty well and not so expensive. I saw a video were the mechanic said that they will replace the clutch and the actuators, relearn and all in 6 hours. Thanks. Its very nice to drive many years, but that is not a drivers car.
He's 100% right I had a CVT fail while driving. Wasn't fun and much more dangerous than how an auto or manual would ever fail.
my cvt on my 1998 primera went out going 80mph up a hill, scary asf not being able to accelerate at all
false. just do your maintenance and theyll last just as long as standard transmissions
@@mojakhahafr, most of these people don't know what maintenance is, and they blame the car instead of themselves😹
2015 Honda Civic runs ok . But There is windshield problem . The seals go 2 crap and bubble up after couple years
Scotty: 0:02
Me: No thanks, I might blow a head gasket....Its a Dodge 🤔
MrThree1zero hahahahahaha you’re so freaking funny and original lol 😐
Then you need to get a Toyota...
Good one
I laughed way too hard at that.
I did it with my ram hemi and its smokes now 😂😂
Got an HRV 2019 with extended bumper to bumper warranty directly from the dealer that covers 100k miles. I will drive it until then for about 6 years then I’ll upgrade it before anything happens 😏
And if anything happens I will just bring it to the dealer and they will fix it as many times as it fails.
For me, I'd rather have a CVT than a sloppy automatic. Manuals are still good though. But not everyone wants those!
Do the manual 2012 accords have cvt?
The new automatics are very good but a stick is so much more fun
Mercedes manuals are terrible. Should ways have an auto.
LazerLord10@ ur saying that because u haven't seen the problems cvt's gives ya.
@@sureshsteven8669 depends on the car, CVT aren't really that bad but companies are pairing them with wrong engines. Mitsubishi seem to be really reliable, Nissan are terrible and they both use jatco cvts.
I have a 2004 Civic Hybrid with the CVT with 140,000 miles on the original CVT. I have been changing the fluid every 10,000 miles and although the clutch plates are slipping a bit, the car drives fine. The key to the CVT is maintenance! Do you fluid changes and treat it good and it will last forever... I hate how they simulate shifting since most drivers are used to hearing and feeling the shifts. There is no shifting with a CVT.
Just seen i was right the old celica is where it always was and i think always will be out side the garage Well done Scotty true to your word !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was lucky enough that i bought 2013 Honda civic and it has automatic transmission. i still drive the same care with 300000 km on it and it is still fantastic.
Passat VW 2.0tdi 140hp 6g DSG, 300kkm works perfect with no one issue. Every 60kkm wet clutches dsg oil changing. My brother has rav4 toyota cvt, it is unable to drive for me, I have got feeling it doesn't accelarate, my friend rav4 as well cvt, one week after guarantie expired cvt dead. Cost 8500Euro. Thank you Mr.Scott for good advice ;)
Another perfectly ORCHESTRATED clip by the great CONDUCTOR Scotty Kilmer. Keep up the great work 👍
Somebody needs to send him a conductor's baton for Xmas.
My CVT just went out in my 2015 Civic. I have 261K miles on it. Cost to replace the CVT through Honda is over 7k. I can’t complain though. That’s a lot of miles on it.
lol did you get it replaced? Did you get a used one? I’m getting interested in your Honda just like I am with Scotty’s celica
I’ve got a 2015 civic exl, I asked honda about my cvt and was told mine has no recall. I think it depends on what trim level of civic you have, when it was built and where it was built. The ones with the recall had weak shafts because of the metallurgy mistake, the hardness of the shafts were weak.
If they were braking, wouldn’t harder metal make them more susceptible to brakes? Wouldn’t they soften the metal instead?
The 7 year old JATCO in my Altima just turned 100K. Still runs great! My advice: Get a trans temp gauge, if it drifts above 215, slow down. Also, I change my fluid at 26K, 48K, Filter and fluid at 79K, and (after watching Scotty) again did filter and fluid at 85K. Guess that's why its still running? That, and I very seldom put my foot in it.
Most things work perfectly fine until they break.
Don T. Smith - which happens 2 weeks after the warranty expires.
A cvt is a p.o.s. fact, not fiction.
Nah
My dad, brother-in-law, and I drive a 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid and it’s about to be two years old with about 115,000 miles estimated about 250 miles mon-sat and sometimes Sunday, and she’s had no issues, I’ll keep talking all updated
Note to self:
Never buy Scotty's son's car.
Hahahahaaaaa
Hahaha. Good one. Albeit, I'm not sure you can break a Corolla. Those things keep going and going.
Throwing some shade at his son probably after scotty had to fix his car cuz he drive so quik
Thank you sir, for sharing the wonderful insights into Honda s CVT performance over years. In 2012 November, I went for 2012 accord LX model for 19,300$ instead of 2013 for 21300$. Simply because 2013 was moving to CVT and I just did not like the fact that after spending that kind of money I have to be a Guinea pig for Honda. Today after seeing this video, I am happy that I took a good decision.
Thanks for sharing information that cab save us lot of hassle and pain in maintaining a car.
The way he waves his hands all the time, is so funny 😝😝.
mechanic maestro
He admits to this by confessing to STRONG COFFEE.
He must be Italian.
Got a 2008 Altima and a 2007 Maxima...both 3.5 with CVT's. Have changed the tran fluid on both twice. No issues. Guess I'm lucky with both.
I had one of those Honda Civic HX with the early CVT. Fortunately, mine never gave out and I was delighted by the 42-45 mpg in my all gas engine way back in 2001 when I bought it used. It was a fantastic commuter car! Honda and Toyota make their own CVTs and have refined them well. But I would not buy a car with CVT in any other car.
What happens to it
@@christopherdominguez845 my wife wanted a newer car so we traded it for a newer Civic. But I wanted to keep it.
Cvt rough on mine BUT , they are amazing for long distance. Cvt is to provide minimal fuel useage. They provide just enough power to move vehicle
ZF company sold 3.1 million of their 8 speed transmissions in 2017... Heard Scotty say that in 4 different videos in 1 week :P
Love you Scotty
My North American market 2012 Golf 2.0 TDI (Diesel) has their DSG auto trans (dual clutch transmission) and it has WET clutches. No problems so far. In other VW markets with lower output engines there are some dry clutches.
Scotty: I have a son, "he drives like a maniac."
Considering your acceleration to 50 on what looks like a residential road, I'd say, like father like son.
I do like your videos, though.
(insert laughing donkey photo)
my 2015 civic cvt transmission is slipping and needs replaced and yet my civic isnt under the recall... im rolling my eyes btw.
Great mechanic and comedian I don’t think it’s possible to watch Scotty’s video’s without laughing 😂😂😂😂
Put a clutch in my 81 f700 dump truck, over 15 yrs ago. This truck works year round. In and out the dump hundreds of times a year, stuck in the mud a lot, gotta rock it out. Just drive em easy.
FCA's new motto, "Works perfectly fine until it breaks" 😂😂
Scott, Last week took me 2019 Jeep Cherokee Overland 4x4 with 2.0 liter engine in for oil change they said they had TSB on my 9-speed transmission for software update so I drove Jeep home and on rolling stop and continued to to press accelerator and did feel like transmission was searching for gear took couple years for update but fixed.

I’m amazed by where the redline is on the new CVT Honda Civics.
My sister and I both have a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer with a Jatco CVT. Sis changed her fluid at 60k (70k now). I changed mine at 32K (only 35K now). I know neither car is high mileage, but both still work fine. Actually, so far both cars have had zero problems of any kind.
I like conventional wet plate clutches when it comes to automatics. When set up properly will perform just as well and last much longer.
So what Scotty wants to tell Cvt is good or not i did not understand as he talks too fast :(
Mitsubishi seems to have figured out CVTs, on a 2014 Outlander with 117k miles the transmission has been running like day one. They’ve had some software problems with em causing hesitation in 2015-2016 models but for the most part they seem to be doing alright.
I have an 2014 Nissan Altima with an CVT engine and it working fine
until it breaks. It won't last long
Not for long especially if it has high mileage
I'm at 165,000 on its engine and kept up on my oil changes so we shall see
One of my friends has a 2010 altima and he has 179k. But he always changed the cvt fluid every 30k miles. He always drives fast too.
CV transmission, not engine.
I have a 2015 civic with a CVT transmission with 192k miles no problems. It was one of the last of that model year so the issue may have been fixed. Best car.
Thanks for answering my question about taking the cat off my 77 vett . You're the best 👍👍
I took the cat off my car too, but he didn't seem happy about it. He likes to sleep over the hood when it's warm.
@@Tiagotaf lol ya but I bet it runs better 😂🤣
@@Kamal_AL-Hinai thanks for the tip 👍but I think I'll just keep them off all together 👍👍
we had a CVT in 1979. it was a DAF 66 (later volvo 66) they worked.. sluggishly, the a MICRA.. they REW to the moon constant on the 999cc engine. we had a honda with some sort of "semi auto" box thatyou had to start in low and when moving set to drive, then it was just as normal. now we have a DSG 6 speed. btw. they can be uneven. they just put 3 speed on one internal "box" and 4 on the other. in work by having an internal od and even box with it own clutch. moste is 7 speed by VAG. some use dry clutches some wet. it is a motorcycle type clutch stack.
For an economy car, I still prefer the 5-speed manual transmission in my 2012 Corolla over anything else.
wut
Manuals are better than CVT's.
Yes. But in a city with lots of traffic jams the clutch on manual will wear pretty fast as you have to constantly shift between 1st gear and neutral. CVT or classic automatic with torque converter is a better solution for such occasions.
I myself drive manual, it's much more fun. But I don't have to deal with traffic jams, just 5-10 mins occasionally when I'm in the town. Otherwise it's open road - manual makes total sense for this.
Should I live in the city I'm gonna go for classic automatic or CVT.
@@kombasanpracka Clutch replacement can be a pain. But Scotty told us how to replace them. Stop-and-go traffic sucks for any driving, manual or automatic. If I have to drive in such a scenario for hours in everyday commute, I will consider an automatic, or the mass transit.
@@ShaoyangJia A conventional automatic will do better in traffic than CVT because CVT's are prone to overheat quickly than a conventional automatic. Plus if you want to keep your automatic or CVT to not overheat just put the car in neutral and when traffic starts moving again put it back in drive.
Is this CVT Civic transmission the same as the ones in the Accords? Specifically the 2014 accords 4 cylinder?
CVT transmissions are like Comet torque converters. They wear out way too soon.
You can get a whole new comet for pretty cheap honestly 😂 but I believe in the technology if it's designed correctly with extra heavy duty parts I could see it outlasting a conventional automatic transmission with regular fluid changes on small cars like this but trucks and suvs with cvt doesn't sound like a good idea
oh yeah totally, my audi is 17years old with no service history for the last decade. the cvt works just as expected. my buddy has 2009 e class, guess what part decided to stop working? yes the legendary mb gearbox which supposedly can go half a million with no oil changes.
Dainius Damasevicius Do you have an A4?
On the money. My 08 accord 4cyl engine light. Random misfire and misfire in 2 and 3. Checked coils plugs mas sensor. Honda put in cheap rings thought it was that. Turns out I put in a aftermarket starter about 5 months ago. My starter is messing with my crankshaft sensor which messed with my ECU. Putting in a genuine Honda starter from the stealership. Hope this works.
I have learned so much from you. You know your stuff. I will say this it seems to me that the cvt is better and long lasting in cars that have small engines 4 cylinder non turbo 120-130 hp and keep up the service.I know a couple of people with a Nissan cube they both have over 150 thousand miles on them and still going strong
Well the Honda accords like mine (2013) are abut 190 hp and they seem to easily make it to 200K without any issues. And it’s not that slow considering, 0-60 in 7.5s is not too shabby for a cvt.
As long as you do the proper maintenance, they are a dream
I saw many manual civic in Montreal. Those guys definitely old school because manual civic is versatile. It's ideal a to b and super fast on the highway. Could be a camper and help you save money.
And the conclusion I reached from watching this video? Other than avoiding early generation CVTs and pretty much all dual clutch transmissions, I can't tell which transmission he wants us to avoid.
Honda recalled my 2001 Civic Hx's CVT starter gear and supposedly replaced it. It seems to have worked for the following 10+ years until I sold the car. At the time I sold it, some 15 years since I bought the car, it was still getting 30 to 36 miles per gallon on daily work commute like the day I got it.
thats really smart to have an actual gear at low speed, and starting power and the BELT driven CVT at higher speed, lower torque. That makes a lot of sense you want the high stress at take off to be on an actual durable gear, and then once the car is moving the belt driven CVT can handle the lower stress speeds.
The wife’s CVT in her 2015 Nissan just bit the dust at 97k miles. As a faithful student of Scotty’s, I know he teaches us to stay away from CVT transmissions and Nissans...BTW she had this car before we met so it wasn’t me that failed Scotty, LOL. Anyway, the two cars we’re looking at (Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic...again from Scotty’s recommendations) all seem to come with CVTs now. So I came here to see what Scotty thought about these new ones. I’m relieved to hear that they make them better now. We’re going to go with the civic. I myself have a Camry. I want the opportunity to personally compare the two most recommended makes and see which one holds up better.
Reminds me of my mum's car.. Nissan Rogue/ X-Trail the CVT blown on 19K kilometers
Too late I didn’t research and bought one and having issues. I bought 2008 4 cyl Nissan Altima
As soon as I saw transmission the first thing that came to mind was Honda haha. Their MT's are just perfect though
My daughter-in-law had a 2011 Subaru Legacy with a CVT transmission put over 130 thousand miles on the car with no transmission problems. She got a SUV and sold the car to the fist family that came to look at it when she put it up for sale.
The more I watch these and other videos about the new age car, the more I know that the auto industry has lost it's way.
They're handicapped by the EPA and other similar regulators and thus use CVT's and 4cyl engines to meet regulations. No more fun cars.
Wow you test driving my car the Honda Civic 2015 I can't believe it it's a beautiful no complaints I use it for flea market everyday never no problems with the
3:06 DCTs don't need to have an even number of gears. A lot of them have 7 gears.
I can't believe he doesn't know this. Maybe US spec cars don't have 7 speed DCTs (apart from supercars etc). Because heaps of VWs have 7 speed DCTs.
trans with higher power use wet double couplings, oil flooded, last long
I have a honda civic 2003 sedan 1.5litre vtec with the 5 speed automatic transmission got to repair at 170,000km the best trans in. My opinion
Faraz Hassan what part of wearing out at 105,000 miles makes this a good transmission? Sounds like junk to me.
170,000km? I eat that for breakfast. My 2012 civic just surpassed 340,000km
That Honda 5 speed automatic is proven unreliable. You doing a repair to it means that it has issues. If you want quality buy a 2003 Toyota Corolla. Those automatics never have an issue. Those 4 speed automatics from Toyota are simple and reliable. Plus they were avaliable in a manual. A tip is that when you come to a stop put the car in neutral. Then when its time to go put it back in drive. This is for automatics, dual clutch transmissions, and CVT's. You will thank me.
My 66 Ford thunderbird C6 is still original. It has a second oil pump in the tail. It even would push start which I did once when the battery died.
Great explanation of CVT and dual clutch boxes.
Seems like before the Honda CVT software update my 2014 Civic's acceleration was more lively. Not as much now.. But, on the plus side: my transmission hasn't exploded yet... So far so good, I guess.😆
Exactly, they lowered performance so the trans would survive longer.
I had a 2016 Honda Accord sport...I hated the CVT. Idk maybe I’m weird I just like the tradition transmissions and that thing just allllwaaayysss shifting just annoyed me for some reason...soooo traded it in and got a 4runner and I’m perfectly happy lol
Yeah, I agree with Scotty about CVTs. When they're made right they last for a while. That's why most scooters, you don't need to change the transmission fluid or anything inside. But yeah since cars are more complicated things end up breaking easily.
The scooter with CVT has the pulling belt type because of the less weight (
I have never owned a vehicle with a CVT transmission
Enter 2021 Kia Seltos it has one the other option was Turbo engine with duel dry clutch. Kia calls theirs a SVT trans. Regardless you can shift it manually with bump of the shifter up or down. It preforms and feels like a conventional trans. The duel clutch overheating is a problem especially if you go slightly off-road.
I’ve heard horrible stories about CVT transmissions. And Nissan doesn’t build those transmissions right. I’ll keep my manual transmission on my 2020 Versa
My wife’s 2015 Nissan Sentra CVT just started cutting off when she was driving. So after the 2nd time it did it we of course decided to take to our mechanic. On the way there it started smoking and eventually caught fire. Gratefully we were okay and it was nearly paid off, but I wouldn’t touch a car that had a CVT transmission with a 30ft pole especially if Nissan is the maker.
I'm sticking with a manual even if gas mileage wasn't as great now than it was before and I'm a millennial
The Honda Civic can still be bought with a manual AND a non turbocharged engine.
@@GeneralSirDouglasMcA can't get that combo on the hatchback though, missed opportunity
Bought a civic sport with the six speed manual with out turbo Love it
@Phillip Hampton You don't have to completely stop before shifting from whatever gear you're at to first gear. Though I would wait till you are at 8 mph or below before you shift to first gear other wise the transmission will strain itself trying to sync up the its speed to the engine speed.
@Phillip Hampton some manual cars are fussy about going back into 1rst gears gate without a blip to bring the revs into the right range. I think I only one manual car that could do it with blipping but my speed still had be under 8mph. My suggestion is to work on rev matching and also question is it needed to be in 1rst and not using 2nd gear from a roll
DCT isnt always dry clutch, like the powershit from Ford. New Hyundai DCTs have a completely separate oil system for the wet clutches, so it is isolated from the gear lubrication
Scotty's son drives like a maniac. I wonder who he learned that from?
Hey Scotty, any ideas?
2019 HRV and cvt error code at about 160k miles. New cvt and install will cost about 7k and still another 5 more years of payments.
My 2009 Lancer with a CVT is still going strong with 100k miles, I really love it and really hate Standard transmissions, at least on busy cities
A couple of aftermarket CVT fluids like Valvoline,Castrol and Amsoil have been proven to be more efficient than OEM CVT fluid suppliers and can resolve shuddering and wear issues, specially Nissans, where there is no problem with the design and manufacture with the problem being in the fluid.
So which Transmission should we stop buying, CVT or DCT?
The problem with DCT vs a manual is in a manual you mostly wear the clutch from a standing start, and if you're gentle this can be minimized, for the rest of the shifts you try and match the revs to the gear before letting the clutch out. A DCT doesn't do this as it shifts like an auto, so it doesn't rev match and just drops the clutch into each gear.
I disagree. The DCT does do some rev matching. I had a Focus with DCT and it did. The problem is they have issues with how it actually engages the clutches. If you drive them a little harder in 1st gear the clutches fare much better. Modern CVT is more reliable than DCT though. Dry DCT has been poorly engineered by the industry as a whole.
I bought a 2015 Subaru Forester with a CVT transmission, thinking they SHOULD be fine by now. But noooooo, CVT failed, replaced it. 2nd one failed! replaced that, and got rid of the car LOL.
Couldn't agree more with you Scotty, they really suck.
Thanks Scotty! (Still kind of dubious with regard to CVTs ). Personally I'm leaning towards a manual transmission while you can still get them...
Hear Hear.
My 2006 Volvo s40 automatic has almost 200000 miles and never opened or oil change, its a seal transmission, still running.
