Trusted CVT Experts – At Sgt. Clutch Discount Transmission Repair Shop in San Antonio, TX, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) systems for all vehicle makes and models. CVT transmissions offer smoother performance than traditional automatic transmissions, but their unique design often causes confusion—especially for first-time CVT transmission drivers.
If your CVT-equipped vehicle feels different or is making unfamiliar noises, don’t worry. We begin every visit with a thorough Multi-Check Inspection to accurately identify whether your CVT transmission truly needs repair—or if it’s just performing as designed.
Understanding CVT Transmissions - CVT transmissions are engineered to deliver seamless acceleration and better fuel efficiency by using a belt and pulley system instead of fixed gears. But that smooth feel and “slipping” sound can cause concern for drivers unfamiliar with CVT behavior.
Unlike traditional transmissions, CVT transmissions don’t shift between set gears. Instead, they continuously adjust to provide optimal power—so the engine can sound different during acceleration or idle.
Types of CVT Transmissions We Service:
Pulley-Based CVT - The most common type. Uses variable-diameter pulleys connected by a steel belt to adjust ratios in real time.
Toroidal CVT - A more complex system using rotating discs and power rollers instead of pulleys to transfer torque.
Hydrostatic CVT (less common) - Typically found in tractors or specialty vehicles, these use hydraulic motors to control speed and torque.
Signs Your CVT May Need Service:
- Whining or humming noises while accelerating
- Jerky or delayed acceleration
- Transmission slipping or overheating
- Dashboard warning lights (Check Engine or Transmission Light)
- Unusual RPM fluctuations
If you're experiencing any of these issues, it’s time to schedule a diagnostic with Sgt. Clutch.
