Update on the new trans. I'm convinced that these trannys just can't handle heat. It's been a couple of weeks and if driven hard or it's hot, it starts to make the noises again but it's barely audible. It still drives smoother and engages into gear smoother and faster but I have a feeling that will change with more mileage. It's an all around fantastic car with a shitty trans which is unfortunate. No more cvt's for this guy.
I second that. Trouble is more and more cars are using them. I've got another three years to go on my warranty but I've already mentioned to my other half we may need to change cars at the end of the warranty. The new Mazda 3 is at the top of my list. At least it has a traditional auto.
Me too. That's in my list but I like the elantra sport as well and it's about 8 grand less for a fully loaded model. I like the the genesis coupe but I have little ones so I have to wait:(
Ok, so for 2 weeks with the new tranny it made no whining noises. A little over a month into it and it sounds worse than the old one. This can't be coincidental. I have to chick it up to a poorly designed transmission even for a cvt.
There was another user on here (a year or so back?) who had been through three (or more) CVT's . They kept fitting new ones and the CVT's kept on mysteriously failing.
