Do miles reset with a new transmission?
The miles on the new transmission are zero at the point of replacement, so the transmission is brand new. Providing there are no manufacturing flaws in the transmission, the miles on the car at the point of replacement are irrelevant to the transmission.
Can a slipping torque converter wear out the transmission?
A slipping torque converter will wear out the transmission very quickly. In some cases, you may have temperature sensors that cause the transmission control unit light on your dashboard to flash, which indicates that your torque converter is slipping and overheating the transmission.
How often do CVT transmissions need to be changed?
1) NO transmission fluid is lifetime — it still needs to be changed. 2) CVT’s are not as reliable and durable as regular automatic transmissions — when they go out, you can replace it for several thousand dollars or get rid of the car for little in return. More Honda CVT reliability can be found here. 2. Nissan CVT problems
When do you need to change your automatic transmission?
They want to show lower maintenance costs. Yes, fluid quality and transmission technology have improved, but no, this did not eliminate mechanical wear. Transmission problems, whether caused by wear and tear or other reasons, are still common in many cars.
When do you know it’s time to change transmission fluid?
If yes, you know it’s time to change it. Drop a few drops of transmission fluid on the piece of paper to see if it’s contaminated. Recommended transmission fluid change intervals varied between 30,000 and 50,000 miles. One of the main reasons for transmission failures is overheating.
How often should I Change my automatic transmission?
As with an oil change, refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for exact service intervals. In general, change the oil and filter every 20,000 to 30,000 miles or every 18 months. Newer cars will also want to have their automatic transmission flushed of sediment and debris every 40,000 to 50,000 miles or every 2 years.

Why do you need to replace the transmission in a car?
Replacing a transmission, automatic or manual, is one of the most costly repairs a car owner may have to schedule. The transmission transfers power from the engine to the wheels to move the car in the desired direction. Automatic transmissions are intended to simplify driving itself by using a more-complex design.
