CVT automatic gearbox
A continuously variable transmission has no fixed gears. Smoothness and correct fluid changes are what to check.
- Feel for shudder, slipping or hesitation when pulling away and at steady speed.
- Ask when the CVT fluid was last changed and which fluid was used.
- Listen for whining that rises with speed.
