A New Approach to Power Delivery
CVT Maintenance – What You Must Know
- Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for oil and filter changes
- Never use standard automatic transmission fluid (ATF) — use only the specified CVT fluid
- Don’t let service stations top up your transmission with regular ATF
- Most CVT failures result from incorrect servicing

Common Pitfalls & Insurance Traps
- Many workshops lack proper CVT knowledge — contact us for expert help
- Mechanical breakdown insurance often has low coverage limits — you may still face large out-of-pocket costs
- Some repairs are quoted between $7,000–$23,000 for standard CVTs — often excessive

Vehicle-Specific Warnings
Nissan Micra / March & Subaru Justy
- Often misdiagnosed — issue is usually the electromagnetic clutch, not the transmission
- We offer affordable fixes
Audi & BMW Mini
- Require special tools for proper servicing — make sure the job is done right
Nissan Skyline (EXTROID CVT)
- Only use Nissan KTF CVT Fluid, not NS2
- Replace fluid every 80,000 km
- Ask your repairer if they’ve updated the TCU software
Electrical Faults in Modern CVTs
- Poorly installed aftermarket devices (alarms, stereos, phone kits) can disrupt the CVT system
- These must be installed carefully and powered separately
- We recommend avoiding aftermarket electronics altogether

Parts & Repairs – What to Watch Out For
- Always use genuine bearings – cheap replacements wear quickly
- Replace all pulley bearings as a set, not just one
- Ask if the software has been updated when your transmission is repaired
- We use only high-quality parts and provide expert servicing
CVT Belts – Don’t Compromise Here
- The push belt is the most critical and expensive CVT part
- Belts vary in size, width, and band count — fitting the wrong one causes fast failure
- Always demand a 1-year or 20,000 km warranty if buying an overhauled CVT
- Contact us first — we use the correct belts and stand by our repairs
