What is the actual lifespan of the Toyota RAV4 CVT transmission?
1 Answers
For the Toyota RAV4 CVT transmission, the actual lifespan is approximately 400,000 kilometers. The principle of the transmission: The purpose of the transmission is to enable the car to drive at a very low and stable speed, which is difficult to achieve with the minimum stable speed of the internal combustion engine alone; the reverse gear of the transmission allows the car to move backward; the neutral gear enables the car to separate the engine from the transmission system for a long time when starting the engine, parking, or coasting. Maintenance of the transmission: Essentially, the car should be put into gear and driven about half a minute after starting. First, drive in 1st gear for a distance before normal driving. Additionally, another important reason for high fuel consumption is insufficient tire pressure, which affects fuel usage. When tire pressure is too low, the contact area between the tire and the ground increases, leading to greater driving resistance. Therefore, regularly checking whether the tire pressure is normal can effectively reduce wear on the transmission.
