How Long Does a CVT Transmission Last?

[AdamAnn]

There is a reference answer regarding the actual lifespan of a CVT transmission, which is approximately 400,000 kilometers. However, this can vary depending on driving habits, so it should only serve as a guideline. Below is more relevant information: 1. The function of a CVT transmission: The transmission enables the car to drive at a very low and stable speed, which would be difficult to achieve with the internal combustion engine's minimum stable speed alone. The reverse gear allows the car to move backward, while the neutral gear enables the engine to be separated from the drivetrain for extended periods during engine startup, parking, or coasting. 2. No need to warm up the car: Many car owners have the habit of warming up their cars upon startup. In reality, after waiting for the RPM to drop to normal levels, it is advisable to engage the gear and start driving within about half a minute of starting the car. Initially, drive in 1st gear for a short distance before shifting to normal driving.
