CVT Transmission Repairs - Ewhurst & Gatwick

CVT transmissions – continuously variable transmissions – use a belt or chain running between two variable-width pulleys to deliver smooth, stepless drive. It’s an elegant system when it’s working well, and a frustrating one when it isn’t.

Common CVT fault symptoms:

  • High-revving engine that isn’t translating into acceleration
  • Shuddering or slipping sensation during drive
  • Unusual whining or droning noise
  • Transmission warning light
  • Jerky or unpredictable power delivery

Because CVTs operate on a completely different principle to conventional automatics or manuals, diagnosing them correctly requires specific knowledge, and not every garage has it.

Our approach

At CCM, we have the diagnostic capability to properly assess CVT faults across a wide range of makes and models. CVTs are found across a broad spread of vehicles – from small economy cars to larger SUVs – and the design varies significantly between manufacturers. Our approach is always to identify the root cause before any work begins, rather than replacing components on the basis of symptoms alone.

Where repair is possible, we’ll repair. Where more significant work is needed, we’ll explain exactly what’s required and why, with clear and honest pricing before anything is authorised.
