Car Troubles

How many miles do you have on the car? If you always shift manually do you do it hard and rag on the car all the time?

 

Man you don't have much less then me. You still have it under warranty I would hope. Have you brought it buy the dealer yet?

 

Yeah I would think so too. I read on the forums somewhere about our trannys but can't seem to find it. I remember its not your typical tranny but like bands that allow us to switch from manual and auto. Can't quite remember. I will eventually find it but not right now. Late and headed to bed. If you get by the dealer let us know what they have to say. Could be useful for other members having the same problem.

 

never heard of this but do u change from auto to manual while u are driving or do u just go straight from park to auto or manual mode... cuz maybe you have worn out the belt or whatever allows u to change back and forth...

 

do u warm up ur car? because i read somewhere that the CVT needs to warm up before actually being able to work fully. maybe that can be the cause. if not, check the dealer

 

thats what i was gonna say but as soon as i turn on my car i put it in reverse and go down my driveway.. is that bad/wrong???

 

I can attest to that. Blue goes to school like 30min south of me in CT on cold days I have issues to and last friday I noticed my engine making really weird noises to and I am having issues with my shocks.... i got 40500ish on my car....

 

its pretty bad because its the same thing as waking a person up from a deep and then puttin them on a treadmill. just give ur car at least a min.
plus, ur engine will thank you in the long run lol

 

i meant, "waking a person up from a deep sleep"

 

not only our engines need warming up...but those who drive CVTs should give it a lil more (3-5mins) because as we all know the CVT trany has its own cooling system...so go figure...hell I live in PR where its warm year round and I let my car at least 2-3 min to warm up...so yeah, you SHOULD let your cars warm up

 

o crap!.. i knew i was doin something wrong.. well atleast i havent been doin it for very wrong if i stop now i should be good in the long run lol... but honestly this is the first time ive ever heard of warming up an engine because of its tranny...

 

you dont warm up an engine due to the type of transmission it has, but because if you dont life expectancy will be shorter...

its just like ^^ said

 

ya that makes sense... well no that i know will def be getting up 5 mins earlier to have time to elt my baby warm up lol

 

how many miles doe u have on ur car??

 

o ok ya i have a lil under 19K.. so hopefully if we let our cars warm up well be good for the future.. or we just sell the car before we feel the after effects lol jk jk
