Why are additives used in transmission fluid treatment?
Fluid treatment in the form of additives will stop these impurities from forming and allow the transmission fluid to flow freely within the system. Components of all shapes and sizes are prone to wear and tear over time. Using additives will help slow down this process and extend the life of transmissions both old and new.
Can a continuously variable transmission ( CVT ) be repaired?
Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs) are great – until they are not. CVTs are more complex and specialized than a standard automatic transmission, and repair costs often are very expensive. And when a CVT cannot be repaired, it needs to be replaced, which can be so expensive that owners are forced to sideline an otherwise perfectly good car.
