My Accord has the 10 speed , are those reliable ?
2015 Nissan Juke Nismo. Has a cvt. It's a very fun vehicle and reliability is a 7/10. But it does seem companies sell these knowing there is something that'll happen and you bring it back,then they u know, do what shud have been done in beginning and the cvt is running fine.
When the battery needs to be replaced on an electric car it will cost a person around $22,000. Here is the truth the govt. does not want us in a car period. They want you on a bus. They don't care about someone having to drag four or five kids with them and trying to watch their children and get their groceries home on the bus also.
Like with anything Scotty if you abuse them and don't maintain them they will not last long regardless who makes them.
The Honda CVT is much less complex than an old fashioned planetary gear set automatic transmissions. While it has a complex digital electronic system for interpreting data from electronic sensor all over the car, and using hydraulics to adjust the diameter of the 2 pulleys according to the information that the computer gets from the sensors, it is otherwise mechanically pretty darn simple. Has a torque converter just like an old-fashioned automatic transmissions (not all CVTs have a torque converter), some gears, the hydraulics, 2 adjustable-diameter pulleys, and a multi-segment "push-belt" that connects the 2 pulleys. Much of the "advanced, complicated technology" is in regard to designing the the right amount of friction between the belt segments, and the pulley surface that the belt segments make contact with, so that the belt is neither too tight on the pulleys, which would shorten the life of the belt, and the pulley bearings, nor too loose, which would cause the belt to slip – with that slippage lowering efficient transmission of power, and making the driving experience unpleasant. The pulley surface is specially etched to have just the right amount of friction against the segmented belt, and to have it for a long time. The segments of the segmented belt are specially shaped so as not to slip against the pulley surfaces. The choice of transmission fluid is important for making the belt and pulleys to work well with each other, and for a long time. Other than that, the system is mechanically quite simple. Couldn't be simpler. A lot of the "advanced" engineering went into nature of the contact surfaces of the pulley, the shape and and contact surfaces of the the belt segments, and the transmission fluid that enables those two to work together. The weak point seems to be 2 thin, spring steel belts that hold the belt segments in alignment. They are constant flexing as the belt turns, and eventually they can be done in by metal fatigue. Also wear between the belt segments and the pulley surfaces can eventually cause the belt to slip on the pulleys, despite the constant computer-controlled precise adjustment of the contact force between the belt and the pulleys. So if the belt to pulley friction gets too little and slippage occurs, can the transmission be taken apart and the belt replaced and the pulleys be replaced with reconditioned pulleys? I don't know. If the belt breaks it is probably going to send belt segments flying around all over the place and doing lots more damage, so I could be wrong but I'm thinking this will prevent the transmission from being repaired.
I love this one still has a real mechanical handbrake👍😍
@4:36 there goes Scotty abusing his customer’s cars again.
Buy the ole lady a new Lexus Scotty!
I think most of the problems with cvt transmissions will come from bigger engines like a v6. NA 4 cyl cars dont put down that much power to be an issue for a cvt or even honda's automatic transmissions. Introduce a v6 or a turbo engine with comparable numbers and its a whole different story.
I see the x tool scanner. Which model is it? Thinking about getting one.
