What are the CVT problems on Honda City?

Answer

The biggest problem with the CVT gearbox is that it is a gear that most people are not used to. In addition, there are few qualified service centers, so many are thought to be driving a real mysterious object. From this point of view, however, we must think that it is a change made up of much fewer pieces, and therefore cheaper to manage. Transmission oil change must be done every 100,000 kilometers. In reality the CVT gearbox is a continuously variable transmission (Continuously Variable Transmission, this is the meaning of the acronym), therefore - to understand each other - it closely resembles the type of gearbox mounted on scooters, allowing a theoretical number of ratios practically infinite. The sensation for those who try it for the first time is strange: it seems that the clutch "slips", but this is due to the fact that the car first revs, and only then finds the appropriate ratio, therefore the exact opposite of a normal automatic transmission. To drive well you have to adapt to a constant speed, so as not to feel jerks or variations. So a very different driving philosophy. And not all drivers appreciate this aspect, which even to the ear turns out to be special.
