What is a CVT Gearbox?

What is a CVT Gearbox?

A CVT gearbox works differently from a traditional automatic. Instead of shifting through a fixed set of gears, it uses a belt and pulley system to deliver a seamless, continuously variable range of ratios. This design provides smoother acceleration and improved fuel efficiency, which is why CVT gearboxes are common in many modern vehicles. However, their complex design means they require specialist expertise when it comes to servicing and repairs.

Common CVT Gearbox Issues

Common CVT Gearbox Issues

While CVT transmissions are valued for their efficiency and smooth driving experience, they are also known to develop certain faults over time, including:

  • Jerky or rough driving feel, especially under load or acceleration

  • Humming, whining, or droning noises from the transmission

  • Banging, thudding, or shuddering when pulling away or cruising

  • Slipping, hesitation, or delayed response when accelerating

  • Warning lights or fault codes such as P0841, P0746, P0700, P1778, or P0868

  • Overheating, often leading to reduced performance or limp mode

  • Fluid leaks or burning smells from the gearbox area

  • Complete loss of drive

If you notice any of these symptoms, including error codes displayed during diagnostics, it’s important to have your CVT inspected as soon as possible. Early diagnostics can prevent further damage and help avoid the cost of a complete rebuild.

    Had a really great experience with these guys. Ross’s technical knowledge shines through. It turns out the problem was coming from the ABS module and not the gearbox. They wouldn’t accept any payment. Honest mechanics would use again.
