What are the warning signs of a CVT transmission failure?
1 Answers
CVT transmission failure warning signs include the engine speed increasing when the accelerator is pressed, but the vehicle's acceleration feels weak. Another symptom is noticeable jerking when the vehicle is driving normally at speeds above 30 km/h. At this point, pressing the accelerator pedal does not increase the vehicle's speed, which can only be maintained at around 4 km/h. The CVT transmission, also known as the continuously variable transmission, differs from conventional transmissions in that its gear ratio is not fixed but varies continuously and linearly. The CVT transmission provides excellent fuel economy, smooth driving, and effectively reduces emissions. However, the issue is that it can experience slipping when the load is too heavy.
