Its internal structure is completely different from those of traditional transmissions, as they usually have special belts or chains. It does not switch gears abruptly, it changes them in a continuous manner. As the vehicle's speed varies, the engine can keep on running at the ideal revolutions per minute.
Hello, I've just bought the vehicle but I think I should change the gearbox fluid and I don't know what kind of oil it takes nor how often should I change it. Any idea?
CVT transmission uses a special oil, so be careful not to use a regular oil for it. You can find several options in any specialized stored, such as autozone. I'd recommend Lubgard, it is affordable and it worked great for me. It takes around 8 litres of oil. Regards!
The oil filter of the CVT is internal, and you can only clean it by washing it thoroughly. For that you would need to remove the cover underneath the gearbox, but you should do that only if the oil is sticked and stuck there. Usually changing the oil is enough
I have a 2008 Nissan Altima coupe and I have problems with the transmission when starting; it has no power, as if starting in second gear, and when I switch it to manual mode it doesn't switch gears. It's a cvt automatic transmission.
