  • Reddish or dark fluid leaking under the vehicle
  • Burning smell after driving or hot-fluid odor

What is a CVT Transmission?

CVT or Continuously Variable Transmission is a type of automatic transmission; how it operates differs in comparison to an ordinary automatic transmission, however. A CVT changes gears flawlessly through an infinite range of gear ratios as opposed to an automatic transmission that possesses a fixed number of gear ratios. Because the CVT has just one gear that is variable, you will not feel the shift from gear to gear as you would with an ordinary automatic transmission.

When to change transmission fluid?

A transmission fluid change removes the bulk of dirty fluid and replaces it with clean transmission fluid. A fluid change should be performed every two years or every 30,000 miles. Alternatively, a transmission fluid flush removes all old, dirty fluid from the transmission and new, clean fluid is added. A transmission flush should be performed every three years or 45,000 miles.

How to check transmission fluid?

Many new transmissions do not have the traditional dipstick for checking fluid levels and its condition. In many cases, you will need seek out an automotive professional to check the fluid for you. Some vehicles require the use of specialized equipment to access the transmission.

What transmission do I have?

Manual vehicles use a clutch to connect and disconnect the transmission to the engine by the use of a pedal next to the brake pedal. If you are required to shift the vehicle yourself, your transmission is manual. Otherwise, your vehicle is likely an automatic or CVT. To confirm your transmission type, refer to the owner’s manual or check just inside the driver’s side door to locate a white sticker. The sticker contains specific details on your vehicle including the year it was produced, transmission type, engine specifications, and other pertinent information. If you are unable to locate the information for your vehicle, contact a Sun Auto Tire & Service and provide your VIN or license plate number and we’ll be able to inform you what kind of transmission your vehicle has.
