What are the symptoms of CVT transmission slipping?
1 Answers
Unlike conventional transmissions that transfer power through gear engagement, CVT transmissions rely solely on a steel belt for power transmission. Consequently, when the vehicle is under excessive load, the steel belt is prone to slipping or even breaking. Solutions are as follows: 1. According to the manufacturer's maintenance manual, the optimal solution for CVT transmission slipping is to directly replace the transmission. 2. During maintenance, visit a 4S dealership to have the CVTF (transmission fluid) degradation value checked via computer. If the degradation value divided by the total vehicle mileage is less than 2, it indicates normal conditions. However, if it exceeds 2, transmission repair is recommended to reduce the degradation value.
