Hey Scotty, my father has a 2003 Dodge Durango SLT our engine is shaking it sounds like it one for the cylinders it not the engine mounts and all the plugs have been changed white smoke is coming out of the exhaust I think it’s a cylinder head crack should we fix it or should we just junk it for a Corolla? It’s got 163k miles.
Hey scotty have you heard about freevalve from koenigsegg , instead of camshafts the engine uses electronic actuators to open and close the valves. Might be worth diong a piece on it for your new channel.
Worked for a Toyota dealer for 10 years, I've seen more 300k miles toyotas than any other manufacturer by far. Buy a Corolla, do recommended maintenance, treat it right and you will have the least expensive per mile vehicle you'll ever have.
Craig Johnson my mom bought a sienna when I was 8 years old in 2007, (2008 model). I’m 20 now, and the car has about 253,000 miles. It’s never had an issue, ever. Can’t beat a Toyota V6.
I remember buying 70s Corollas because they were almost identical and I could always have a running Corolla without going to the parts store. My friend never even changed the motor oil or filter and the vehicle hit over 100k miles. I couldn't believe the great engineering in the best selling model car in the world.
I have personally worked with these transmission at our Facility. Coming from Nissans JK2 rebuilds for their CVT's. Their issue is that Initial start... First "Gear" the most torque, most stress. Majority of people have heavy foot, dont even ease into them. Direct drive from what I have seen from Test. Toyota once again, being Toyota. Smart!
I just got a 2022 SE, and I was worried about getting a cvt. But after driving it for about a week I realized it’s actually not that bad at all. Kinda feels like an 8 speed. Well done toyota
Good to Know. Just bought an almost new 2019 Corolla Hatchback SE a couple of months ago. I went back and forth for nearly a month trying to find one with a 6 speed. Went through a lot of research on this and it all pointed to Toyota doing things right. So, I got the one with CVT. This thing is a dream! 5 years ago it would have been considered a luxury car. I really love this Corolla.
I have a 2023 Corolla (non-hybrid) with this transmission. So far, so good, and it whines like an old conventional auto transmission when floored, BUT where the conventional transmission takes time to engage, this one is making my car accelerate the whole time. In addition, when I drive like a normal person, I'm getting 40mpg. Hopefully I will feel the same way in 5 years.
I have a turbocharged Mini Cooper S. It's pretty zippy. A few of the guys I work with, they think they are fast in their base model Corollas and Civics and Nissan Sentra. The other day they took off, trying to do a burnout, and the smokers standing there waiting for the next shift to start started talking bout it and I was like "You think that's cool? You think that's fast?" Well I got in my car and I really took off out of the parking lot and I looked back in the rearview and their jaws were floored. Needless to say, don't rice your car, put real power under the hood.
Bobby Newton45 Ive witnessed plenty of CVT Nissans cross 150K miles on the original with no trouble, even more unbelievable when I tell you some of then havent even been flushed yet!
Make this same post when the car is at least 7 years old... I can go out and rent a 2019 anything with a CVT transmission ..of course it's great..its a 'young' vehicle
Best vehicle I ever owned was a 1988 Toyota 4Runner. It had a 4 cyl 22RE motor, small lift with huge tires (like that when I bought it), and a 5 speed transmission. Before going to college, I gave it to my dad because I wanted something smaller for the travelling. It had 300k miles on it. He drove it for years, putting another 300k miles on it. The body rusted in half, and a guy bought the motor to put in his truck, and is still driving it today. Never had an issue with that little motor.

The CVT in hybrid toyota is different from CVT in gas toyotas. The hybrid one is planetary gears (power split device) called eCVT. The other one is two cones and they are just like you said they do slip. The solution to that it has a dedicated discreet gear called launch gear.
Nobody knows this. Everyone thinks the hybrid ecvt is a belt. No belt at all, it's actually a differential. Toyota does things and names things for marketing for the lowest common denominator customer. For example, using a gas engine instead of diesel on Prius, a car designed for fuel mileage. Diesel would be so much better but the average consumer wouldn't buy it because they aren't familiar with diesel. Or the artificial drag Toyota put when you release the gas to imitate the drag of a normal car. Even though that drag is being turned into energy stored in the battery for use later, it's still more efficient to conserve momentum and not artificially slow the car. I love my Prius, but I would love it even more if it was diesel and didn't have the artificial drag. I also wish the diesel was a generator and didn't actually drive the wheels. It just put energy in the battery and electric motors actually did all the work. Exactly like the new Edison semi.

I will put it in a way you will understand: decades ago Nissan was going bankrupt. Renault came to the rescue by injecting billions of dollars into Nissan. So Nissan was able to survive for few more decades. Renault extended Nissan's life. Without Renault, Nissan would had been gone decades ago.
I was super impressed with the performance and operation of the CVT in the latest Corolla. It was better than my previous benchmark being the dual clutch auto in my Mark 7 Golf.
Scotty, I have worked for Toyota and you are correct about Toyota doing it correctly, if you want a reliable car that just keeps getting better then buy a Toyota, I work at a salvage yard as a parts manager and we see more Jatco (Japanese Automatic Transmission CO) junk come in or we sell used replacements for the Jatco just so customers can keep their car running another 20k, Jatco has given CVT's a very bad rep.....I wont buy one but if I did it would be from Toyota only
Toyota's eCVT's in their hybrids also last a while because they have electric motors (not clutch packs which wear out over time) that move the planetary gear
Kevin White The eCVT is better described as a "simplified differential". As it doesnt actually have any actuators & uses a sun gear, ring gear, & 4 planetary gears just like differential
I mean technically its not a pure cvt....you could say its a "2 speed" if you count the starting gear which is a traditional gear and the CVT as the second gear.
My 2023 Corolla SE saved our lives when it braked and swerved at 70mph to try and miss a Big Buck here in Texas. It reacted in less than a 1/10th of a second. Luv the CVT. 36/41mph and the collision avoidance.
I have a Subaru Outback with a CVT, I have been impressed by the functionality of that vehicle too. While I have not been a fan of other manufacturers CV or for that manner even in ATV and UTVs, the Subaru version works well too. Thank you for the information about the Toyota. I have always found your site helpful and your advise is spot on.
I previously stated my wife’s 2020 corolla cvt had to be replaced, I was wrong. A seal went out and my local Toyota replaced the transmission just in case but they said it was fine. You have to love a company that cares especially with today’s car companies
I see a parallel in the building industry: main companies using sub-contractors to finish a project in order to cut the cost of directly-employed staff. The 'subbies' and the transmissions from a different maker have less commitment to excellence because their name is not on the main product and they have no share in the profit (if there is one). Economists call this the casualisation of labour but Scotty with his poetic turn of phrase would probably call it 'a pile of crap'. He would be right.
@@raymondgerardcarls4741 yep it is. To prolong life of the transmission, i have changed the fluid and it is as smooth as before. Toyota means reliability❤️❤️❤️
My Toyota has a Cvt. I honestly do not notice the difference except the Cvt is so smooth and I’ve never felt a slip. Haha. But when I was in the market I’d hear “that infinity has the Cvt…. It’s a Nissan so I wouldn’t buy it.” Then they would follow up with, “Not like it’s the Toyota cvt.” So I went with Toyota. Love my car. Just hoping I got a good one. Really do. But honestly, driving a Toyota, I feel a lot more confident that I am in good hands. Namaste
Thanks to Scotty’s advice I got a 2015 accord instead of some Nissan or gm crap, woulda got a Toyota but Honda is more my style but he always says get a Toyota or a Honda so I listened and it’s been a year, NO problems at all! Thanks Scotty!
Mechanic joke in the 90s "you need a new transmission belt" 2020 serious mechanic "you need a new transmission belt." Can't wait until blinkers use some type of fluid..
SCOTTIE!! I love you. Very helpful. One of the reasons that an automatic mpg reader in a car is that they never reset it. I found that the ones I’ve had are so accurate that I just quit checking. Keep up your good work!!
We just literally purchased a 2020 all gas Corolla sedan with this cvt transmission with the physical launch gear improvement…As wife and I test drove the car, I noticed the transmission type and asked the dealer about possible problems associated with the tranny. He did agree that Nissan was notorious for problems with these….so I you tubed it and we went ahead with a purchase after seeing your review. If it does crap out on me, I will certainly report it to the national highway safety politicians. It is vexing to image a car locking up at 70+mph in bumper to bumper traffic! Thank you for informing my family and I
Used to travel a lot for work. Had the opportunity to drive a lot of rental cars. Most CVT cars I drove were an awful driving experience. Very disengaged feeling. The corollas with the CVT had a more positive, "connected" feeling that was zippy and responsive rather than slushy feeling.
Yes, I saw this for a while, CVT launch gear! Awesome, and you'd think Nissan would catch on! Too much stress at stop and go, you need a launch gear. Great work Toyota! P.S. my 1988 Camry still starts and runs! Very reliable.
My mom 1993 Toyota Tercel have 475,000 miles and we never changed the transmission oil and it shift better than mine there is a testament of a good transmission
I remember reading or hearing somewhere that they programmed the car to simulate shifting transitions because drivers felt awkward and uncomfortable jamming the pedal down, hearing the engine buzz at a constant rpm, but experiencing steady acceleration. My dodge Caliber accelerated like that.
The biggest problem with American automotive companies is that they start at the bottom line profit and work everything in from there. The first thing they should do is make all engineers work on the assembly line and also make them listen to the production crew about problems or ideas. I worked in Research and Development with all type engineers/designers and were taught to keep our ears and eyes open for total input. An example is our operating manual was written by Tech Writers but tested by our secretaries who never touched the machine. So many little things were found that were left out or put in the wrong steps. Our production workers found steps to make it easier to install some of the modules.
Great video! I'm thinking of dumping my headache BMW for a Toyota product thanks to your videos. I definitely see Toyota in a different light now. I appreciate your content. Be well, brother.
Thanks Scotty! I'm kind of leary of CVTs personally... Still, the launch gear is an interesting concept. I actually want to go back to a manual myself... They may not have the efficiency edge anymore, but It's all I drove for over a decade and I miss it. They can be a chore if you happen to get caught in a traffic jam, but they keep you so much more engaged with the driving experience that I prefer it overall.
honda was one of the first manufacturers to use the cvt's. had one come into the shop i think it was early or mid 90's civic. never seen another one. super rare.
After Ford not willing to sell me a truck at a decent price, I went to Toyota and they won me over with the tundra. I love the tundra so much I bought my spouse a brand new corolla, and In a few years I'm gonna gonna upgrade my TRD off road tundra to a TRD pro and the corolla to a 4 runner.
If companies built transmissions like a manual transmission and automatic transmission combined. With a hydraulic pressure pump and piston system instead of a clutch or torque, and computer controlled hydraulic solenoids that change gears by changing the locating and amount fluid pressure to hydraulic pistons between gears that change the gears.. That would be the ultimate automatic transmission!
I probably have a Toyota bought CVT in my 2013 jeep patriot. Not only has it got me to Arizona to Washington five times I'm very close to 140000 miles and shes still going strong.
Scotty did you ever see the all-electric transmission that was prototyped for the early VIA Trucks? The Gas V6 engine under the hood had an electric motor mounted to the back of it, then in the rear of the truck directly connected to the rear axle was a unit that had 2 different internal electric motors. 1 for acceleration and 1 for highway driving. They stated in their display booth in Vegas that it had better acceleration than a stock V6 silverado in motor 1 mode, then once you got to 45mph, it would apply the power to the 2nd motor which was designed to reduce power consumption at 45+ mph speeds. The test drive they did was undetectable of any transition. It was kinda unique that the output of the motor on the back of the gas engine was directly powering the rear motor for propulsion.
Haha whatever you say...I drove a 96 camry from 2011 to 2016 in my 20s and got lots of action. If you need nice car to get some, that makes you the less masculine man 👍trust me.
No Name-- Sorry. I didn't mean to offend. It was just a joke. I in no way intended to upset the members of the LGBT community. I support your rights. I had a 1970 Chevelle SS as my weekend cruise vehicle when I was your age. Man that was a sweet ride.
HECKproductions, had the same thought but people do that. The talk about an ATM machine, an SAT test, and the TVA authority, too, among others. It’s best just to ignore it.
CVT's have actually been around a long time! Leonardo da Vinci designed the first concept. Milton Reeves invented a CVT for his saw mill in 1879 and later in 1896 he applied to his first car. A CVT was used in the British Clyno car, introduced in 1923.
I always used to say that long before when they nust created cvt transmission that gear is called a final drive it takes away the strain off the belt during kick off and also extent the continuous drive at high speed so the fluid wont have to boil due to tension
The CVT fluid isnt being spoiled from actuating motion from the pumps, *The fluid is getting spoiled from high engine heat* Modern day cars deliberatly run 180+ degrees fahrenheit as a homeostatic temperature to clean the emissions at the cost of engine power. Epicyclic transmissions are designed to handle high heat, in fact they can run their best in high heat, Because epicyclic transmissions use a mix heavy petroleum/mineral oil thats meant to control friction rather than lubricating metal as priority CVTs on the other hand use a mineral oil thats more relatable to dot3-4 brake fluid than ATF. The CVT fluid is designed to be more of a lubricant than a friction modifier, In truth CVT fluids dont like high heat, this is has been the true crux of why CVTs been failing before 50K miles. The poor CVT has to deal with the heat of it needing to actuate it's pumps while being to attatched to a lava-hot ICE The fluid can be poured in red or clear grey, and then after 40K miles it could be drained out motor oil black. CVT fluids are freakin' weaksauce
Transmission transition decision position: Life's Been Good to Me (so far) I had a car - manual shift 5 speed fun to drive....it always works and it is still alive....don't ever give me no funky jive....new transmissions I completely despise....
I know I keep saying this, but I would love to see a professional truck with a CVTransmission. If they could build one that is durable enough to haul 40 tonnes, it would be a holy-grail of transmissions.
@@dancapell6643 It all depends on the kind of engineering that goes into it. And you also have different types of CVTs as well. the type they use on Toyota cars, uses a steel belt to transfer power between varying pulley. And a lot of tractors anymore, use a hydrostatic transmission; changes gears by varying the swept area on a piston pump. There was a bus, in the 1960s, that only had a single forward and reverse gear; however power was transferred straight through a torque converter. And of course my favorite example; every diesel locomotive, built since the 1950s, has used some form of generator to power traction motors; and they changed gears by simply altering the strength of the generators field coils.
16 Accord 2.4L with the Gen2 CVT. 135k miles without any hiccups. It does suffer from the acceleration cons you mentioned. I’m tempted to go try one of the new Toyota ones.
When we went to Texas to see our son graduation from Air Force basic training, we were supposed to have another model rental car but they gave us a Corolla. I had an older one and it was a great car but boring. I couldn’t believe the acceleration and performance! The only drawback was the blind spot in the side view, but this thing drove like a sports car! It sipped gas too!
So has Kia. They use an IVT basically a cvt with a steel chain instead. For reliability and more traditional auto feel they are awesome transmission and it makes the 147 hp forte feel like 170 no joke.

Scotty has a lot of useful information on his site/videos.
Scotty taught me alot. I learnt Scotty turns me on
I learned how dumb I am :(
Freddie Martin me
Scotty, I have worked for Toyota and you are correct about Toyota doing it correctly, if you want a reliable car that just keeps getting better then buy a Toyota, I work at a salvage yard as a parts manager and we see more Jatco (Japanese Automatic Transmission CO) junk come in or we sell used replacements for the Jatco just so customers can keep their car running another 20k, Jatco has given CVT's a very bad rep.....I wont buy one but if I did it would be from Toyota only
Toyota's eCVT's in their hybrids also last a while because they have electric motors (not clutch packs which wear out over time) that move the planetary gear
Good luck in 5 years
Why should they be afraid of a UA-camr mechanic who fixes cars on his driveway?
They also don't have steel belts, unlike normal CVT, only sun and planetary gears, they waste much less energy.
It last long because it does not use a belt at all. Check it for yourself. Kilmer talks with checking the facts.
Kevin White The eCVT is better described as a "simplified differential".
As it doesnt actually have any actuators & uses a sun gear, ring gear, & 4 planetary gears just like differential

Scotty before: not a fan of CVT...
Scotty now: CVT is a good transmission...
Check from Toyota just cleared
I mean technically its not a pure cvt....you could say its a "2 speed" if you count the starting gear which is a traditional gear and the CVT as the second gear.
Leave it to Toyota to convince Scotty
@@peoplesrepublicofliberland5606 If it's made by toyota it's all good.
*Upside down world intensifies.*
I want a CVT with a launch gear, a top gear, three intermediate gears, a clutch - and without the CVT.
I don't even trust a Toyota CVT. The gear transmission have been shown to be quite reliable for more than 50 years.
@@rishijai agreed
CVT is better as long as it's built right.
What's even better? One with a manual transmission.
Bilal 💪
Bilal Yea I like to be the transmission myself
Nick Pavloff I like to be the wheel myself
It's a Corolla, hasn't had enough power to matter in a long time, a CVT is fine manual 140 horse power going to be fun 😂
Yes!
Got a 2015 Corolla with the CVT. 105k miles still runs awesome with absolutely no lag! I love my corolla!
That is great news Scotty, I’ve been holding back getting a Toyota hybrid because I don’t trust the transmissions
My 2023 Corolla SE saved our lives when it braked and swerved at 70mph to try and miss a Big Buck here in Texas. It reacted in less than a 1/10th of a second. Luv the CVT. 36/41mph and the collision avoidance.
I have a Subaru Outback with a CVT, I have been impressed by the functionality of that vehicle too. While I have not been a fan of other manufacturers CV or for that manner even in ATV and UTVs, the Subaru version works well too. Thank you for the information about the Toyota. I have always found your site helpful and your advise is spot on.
i bought a 2023 corolla (2.0L) and the gearbox clunk (it clunks the moment i press or release the gas pedal) the dealer says its "normal" !!
I just purchased a 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. I'm very happy so far. It does have peppy acceleration from a dead stop.
Toyotas are always reliable. We cannot deny the fact that they produce solid cars.
I previously stated my wife’s 2020 corolla cvt had to be replaced, I was wrong. A seal went out and my local Toyota replaced the transmission just in case but they said it was fine. You have to love a company that cares especially with today’s car companies
I see a parallel in the building industry: main companies using sub-contractors to finish a project in order to cut the cost of directly-employed staff. The 'subbies' and the transmissions from a different maker have less commitment to excellence because their name is not on the main product and they have no share in the profit (if there is one). Economists call this the casualisation of labour but Scotty with his poetic turn of phrase would probably call it 'a pile of crap'. He would be right.
I have a new 2020 Corolla SE with the new CVT. The launch gear is great, eliminates lag while making it more durable.
I have 2018 toyota corolla international version with CVT. It is amazing and it has very smooth shifting. Thumbs up for Toyota.
how is it now, still smooth?
@@raymondgerardcarls4741 yep it is. To prolong life of the transmission, i have changed the fluid and it is as smooth as before. Toyota means reliability❤️❤️❤️
My Toyota has a Cvt. I honestly do not notice the difference except the Cvt is so smooth and I’ve never felt a slip. Haha. But when I was in the market I’d hear “that infinity has the Cvt…. It’s a Nissan so I wouldn’t buy it.” Then they would follow up with, “Not like it’s the Toyota cvt.” So I went with Toyota. Love my car. Just hoping I got a good one. Really do. But honestly, driving a Toyota, I feel a lot more confident that I am in good hands. Namaste
The CVT in the GEN 1 Prius is actually pretty bullet proof, back in 2001.
Except the Prius does not use a CVT. (How many times do I have to tell y'all?)
Martini is a wino
You only have a single speed planetary gearbox with no actuators,
*your transmission is more like a simple differential*
Thanks to Scotty’s advice I got a 2015 accord instead of some Nissan or gm crap, woulda got a Toyota but Honda is more my style but he always says get a Toyota or a Honda so I listened and it’s been a year, NO problems at all! Thanks Scotty!
Mechanic joke in the 90s "you need a new transmission belt"
2020 serious mechanic "you need a new transmission belt."
Can't wait until blinkers use some type of fluid..
SCOTTIE!! I love you. Very helpful. One of the reasons that an automatic mpg reader in a car is that they never reset it.
I found that the ones I’ve had are so accurate that I just quit checking. Keep up your good work!!
*Buys Nissan “I’m never going to financially recover from this”
blame it le cutter ghosn, he saved nissan at 2000s but his cost cutting measures literally make nissan a french brand with french qualities.
We just literally purchased a 2020 all gas Corolla sedan with this cvt transmission with the physical launch gear improvement…As wife and I test drove the car, I noticed the transmission type and asked the dealer about possible problems associated with the tranny. He did agree that Nissan was notorious for problems with these….so I you tubed it and we went ahead with a purchase after seeing your review. If it does crap out on me, I will certainly report it to the national highway safety politicians. It is vexing to image a car locking up at 70+mph in bumper to bumper traffic! Thank you for informing my family and I
Scotty Dropping KNOWLEDGE like my puppy Dropping Turds.DAILY
Love my A341E 4 speed transmission. 380,000 miles and still shifts flawlessly.
I want see a large number of them at 200,000 and 300,000 miles to tell how well they truly hold up with more powerful engines.
Our 2012 Prius is over 180K and planning on 250+
I have an 2012 Altima Coupe 3.5SR with a CVT... almost 200k KM on it and NO problems whatsoever! Most of the mileage was done on highway...
God bless you Mr. Scotty all respects from your loyal fans from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Used to travel a lot for work. Had the opportunity to drive a lot of rental cars. Most CVT cars I drove were an awful driving experience. Very disengaged feeling. The corollas with the CVT had a more positive, "connected" feeling that was zippy and responsive rather than slushy feeling.
I love the Camry CVT. It is AWESOME! I left everone in the dust on I5.
I know Scotty is not Italian but he sure uses his hands in communicating like one! Thanks for the video Scotty!
Yes, I saw this for a while, CVT launch gear! Awesome, and you'd think Nissan would catch on! Too much stress at stop and go, you need a launch gear. Great work Toyota! P.S. my 1988 Camry still starts and runs! Very reliable.

Great question: *how come ive witnessed 200K mile CVT Nissans that are still using their original transmissions* ?
i bought a 2023 corolla (2.0L) and the gearbox clunk (it clunks the moment i press or release the gas pedal) the dealer says its "normal" !!
My mom 1993 Toyota Tercel have 475,000 miles and we never changed the transmission oil and it shift better than mine there is a testament of a good transmission
Sounds wonderful.
Gonna stick with the 5 speed manual on the 2002 Accord. 462,000 miles on it, doesn’t bat an eye.
WOW!!!
I remember reading or hearing somewhere that they programmed the car to simulate shifting transitions because drivers felt awkward and uncomfortable jamming the pedal down, hearing the engine buzz at a constant rpm, but experiencing steady acceleration.
My dodge Caliber accelerated like that.
Yep...And those "not smooth shifts" in a cvt destroyed the transmissions in record time.
Watch Scotty with the sound off, it's a trip.
I hate you for pointing this out. It's hilarious 😂
@@shafiekj1168 Pay attention to sensei Scotty and do your Tai Chi, padawan. 😄😋
But do it with a playback speed setting of 2.0.
The biggest problem with American automotive companies is that they start at the bottom line profit and work everything in from there. The first thing they should do is make all engineers work on the assembly line and also make them listen to the production crew about problems or ideas. I worked in Research and Development with all type engineers/designers and were taught to keep our ears and eyes open for total input. An example is our operating manual was written by Tech Writers but tested by our secretaries who never touched the machine. So many little things were found that were left out or put in the wrong steps. Our production workers found steps to make it easier to install some of the modules.
94 Celica: Am i a joke to you?
Rented a '19 Camry and I gotta say, the transmission was pretty damn good.. No hesitation at all...
Never thought I'd see the day Scotty would recommend a CVT transmission.
$$$$$$

I am begining tp lose confidence in scotty. He is like a politician !! Flip flopping
My 2014 Nissan Juke CVT is really fast, really smooth, and works perfectly. I drive hard at times but I have had 0 problems in 100,000 miles.
Somebody needs to make a vid of Scotty muted and overlay classical music and let his hands be the conductor.
Toyota hybrid vehicles use a different type of CVT. It’s called an ECVT where it uses a planetary gearset instead of a steel belt drive.
Great video! I'm thinking of dumping my headache BMW for a Toyota product thanks to your videos. I definitely see Toyota in a different light now. I appreciate your content. Be well, brother.
You compare bmw with toyota? Totally diferent animals
@@vasme973 Yeah, ones overpriced unreliable crap (BMW) and the other is reliable, well built, cheaper to maintain. Did I mention reliable!
One thing I like about Scotty is that he gives great advice and doesn’t ask people to pay on Peatrion
Thanks Scotty! I'm kind of leary of CVTs personally... Still, the launch gear is an interesting concept. I actually want to go back to a manual myself... They may not have the efficiency edge anymore, but It's all I drove for over a decade and I miss it. They can be a chore if you happen to get caught in a traffic jam, but they keep you so much more engaged with the driving experience that I prefer it overall.
i bought a 2023 corolla (2.0L) and the gearbox clunk (it clunks the moment i press or release the gas pedal) the dealer says its "normal" !!
We're so glad that Scotty conducts car repair videos instead of orchestras.
I have never seen a channel with so much information available. Good job, Scotty!
Thank God Toyota exist!
This is a great improvement in the CVT transmissions. FYI: Toyota debuted it in 2018
honda was one of the first manufacturers to use the cvt's. had one come into the shop i think it was early or mid 90's civic. never seen another one. super rare.
Let me tell you the truth about "CVT transmissions"... either the "T" or the "transmission" is redundant. Pick one.

After Ford not willing to sell me a truck at a decent price, I went to Toyota and they won me over with the tundra. I love the tundra so much I bought my spouse a brand new corolla, and In a few years I'm gonna gonna upgrade my TRD off road tundra to a TRD pro and the corolla to a 4 runner.
If Toyota CVT transmissions are good Scotty, what's your thoughts on Honda's CVT transmissions?
I have heard good things about Honda CVTs also but there are also some people who would have problems. That makes it hard to go by opinions in a way.
If Toyota has such good CVTs then why the HUGE lawsuit against their 10 speed????
Honda CVTs are horrible ... huge lag and response times... test drive one to see!
@@Nikolak44_AJ_Epic cvt isn't 10 speed. Two different kind of transmission
@@Nikolak44_AJ_Epic Do you actually have one? I have one for the past 7 years and it works great.
If companies built transmissions like a manual transmission and automatic transmission combined. With a hydraulic pressure pump and piston system instead of a clutch or torque, and computer controlled hydraulic solenoids that change gears by changing the locating and amount fluid pressure to hydraulic pistons between gears that change the gears.. That would be the ultimate automatic transmission!
the CVTs in hybrids are different from regular CVTs. The hybrid CVTs are much more durable.
Interesting... any other information and photos comparisons..etc
@@bwest-yq3uc A normal CVT has a belt. The eCVT in every Toyota hybrid has no belt.
Having the hybrid help makes these ecvts much better all around (better power, more durable, adapts to driver/driving). Big fuel economy increase.
I probably have a Toyota bought CVT in my 2013 jeep patriot. Not only has it got me to Arizona to Washington five times I'm very close to 140000 miles and shes still going strong.
Do your own oil change. It’s easy. Bought a Daytona jack , oil and filter for the same price dealer would charge for oil change.
My guy I have a question. Where did you buy what you needed I am woman trying to learn alllllll possible.
Harbor Freight sells good jacks, oil and filter from dealership specific to your car !
Scotty did you ever see the all-electric transmission that was prototyped for the early VIA Trucks? The Gas V6 engine under the hood had an electric motor mounted to the back of it, then in the rear of the truck directly connected to the rear axle was a unit that had 2 different internal electric motors. 1 for acceleration and 1 for highway driving. They stated in their display booth in Vegas that it had better acceleration than a stock V6 silverado in motor 1 mode, then once you got to 45mph, it would apply the power to the 2nd motor which was designed to reduce power consumption at 45+ mph speeds. The test drive they did was undetectable of any transition. It was kinda unique that the output of the motor on the back of the gas engine was directly powering the rear motor for propulsion.

HECKproductions I was thinking the same thing! 😂😂
HECKproductions meanwhile, you're the definition of pedantic.
HECKproductions, had the same thought but people do that. The talk about an ATM machine, an SAT test, and the TVA authority, too, among others. It’s best just to ignore it.

CVT's have actually been around a long time! Leonardo da Vinci designed the first concept. Milton Reeves invented a CVT for his saw mill in 1879 and later in 1896 he applied to his first car. A CVT was used in the British Clyno car, introduced in 1923.

@@yessox Especially porn.
@@Gary_M and Proctology.
@ken Johnson It's shitty work but pays well.
I always used to say that long before when they nust created cvt transmission that gear is called a final drive it takes away the strain off the belt during kick off and also extent the continuous drive at high speed so the fluid wont have to boil due to tension
The CVT fluid isnt being spoiled from actuating motion from the pumps,
*The fluid is getting spoiled from high engine heat*
Modern day cars deliberatly run 180+ degrees fahrenheit as a homeostatic temperature to clean the emissions at the cost of engine power.
Epicyclic transmissions are designed to handle high heat,
in fact they can run their best in high heat,
Because epicyclic transmissions use a mix heavy petroleum/mineral oil thats meant to control friction rather than lubricating metal as priority
CVTs on the other hand use a mineral oil thats more relatable to dot3-4 brake fluid than ATF.
The CVT fluid is designed to be more of a lubricant than a friction modifier,
In truth
CVT fluids dont like high heat,
this is has been the true crux of why CVTs been failing before 50K miles.
The poor CVT has to deal with the heat of it needing to actuate it's pumps while being to attatched to a lava-hot ICE
The fluid can be poured in red or clear grey, and then after 40K miles
it could be drained out motor oil black.
CVT fluids are freakin' weaksauce
Great video Scotty, very informative. And here, everyone thought you were just griping all the time! Keep doing what you're doing we appreciate it.
Transmission transition decision position:
Life's Been Good to Me (so far)
I had a car - manual shift 5 speed fun to drive....it always works and it is still alive....don't ever give me no funky jive....new transmissions I completely despise....
I know I keep saying this, but I would love to see a professional truck with a CVTransmission. If they could build one that is durable enough to haul 40 tonnes, it would be a holy-grail of transmissions.

I've always thought that cat's were for small cars, and perhaps some motorcycles.
Damn auto correction! I ment cvt not cats! Jeeze!!
@@dancapell6643 It all depends on the kind of engineering that goes into it. And you also have different types of CVTs as well. the type they use on Toyota cars, uses a steel belt to transfer power between varying pulley. And a lot of tractors anymore, use a hydrostatic transmission; changes gears by varying the swept area on a piston pump. There was a bus, in the 1960s, that only had a single forward and reverse gear; however power was transferred straight through a torque converter. And of course my favorite example; every diesel locomotive, built since the 1950s, has used some form of generator to power traction motors; and they changed gears by simply altering the strength of the generators field coils.
16 Accord 2.4L with the Gen2 CVT. 135k miles without any hiccups. It does suffer from the acceleration cons you mentioned. I’m tempted to go try one of the new Toyota ones.
Scotty,
Hybrid CVT has nothing to do with regular CVT.
They don't have a belt.
Yeah, the Prius CVT is best described as a giant differential, no actuators, no pumps.
You said it for me
I just bought a 2020 Toyota Corolla SE with the CVT and I love it.
I have a Prius with 275k miles cvt works like it did 200k miles ago.
Alex Grza how often do you change your transmission fluid. I have a 2018 Corolla with 45k miles. I’ve heard anywhere from 60k to 100k for change.
@@dannyt9067 for the belt driven CVT, which you have, best to do it every 30k miles. Sounds excessive but its the best thing to do.
When we went to Texas to see our son graduation from Air Force basic training, we were supposed to have another model rental car but they gave us a Corolla. I had an older one and it was a great car but boring. I couldn’t believe the acceleration and performance! The only drawback was the blind spot in the side view, but this thing drove like a sports car! It sipped gas too!
I’d still prefer a stick shift and I’m betting that CVT won’t last as long as their regular automatics, just sayin🥴
Thats prolly true but id still trust this cvt over subaru's cvt
Things about cvt is it cheaper to repair than dual clutch
As long as it works past the warranty window it’s not their problem anymore
Same. After hearing him speak poorly of them for so long, I have a hard time convincing myself to take the plunge.
@@Antifa850 cvt more expensive to repair usually needs full replacement
Planetary transmissions are in another league compared to the rubber band driven ones. These launch gears sound like a great addition.
Lets get scottys Son on one of the Videos! Have him talk about the CVT!
I'm betting he looks like a cross between John Lennon and Ozzy Osbourne. 😅🤣😋
William Garcia if the son is anything like Scotty they’ll be slapping the crap out of each other with all the hand waving 👋
So has Kia. They use an IVT basically a cvt with a steel chain instead. For reliability and more traditional auto feel they are awesome transmission and it makes the 147 hp forte feel like 170 no joke.
