CVT Trans service


angie

Recommended Posts

Recently bought a BR 9 wagon. Runs nicely. Just out of warranty so when, at what age or at what mileage, would a full transmission 'service' be required? And who in Auckland offers an excellent service at a reasonable price? Thanks

Sofar all the info I have seen suggests that the CVT merely be inspected. Nothing about replacing oil etc at certain intervals. Who inspects the gearboxes? Is it checked at a routine full service or is it checked at an auto trans specialists? Ex Japan, service history to 35ooo km at Subaru Tokyo dealer. Just had full service here but I dont use Wingers, I use my local MTA/AA approved workshop. Mainly because the places like Wingers are too inconvenient to get to easily etc.

I'm not sure how you would thoroughly inspect the box without dropping it out of the car and opening it up.

In which case you may as well just do routine maintenance until it eventually dies...

if i were you, with a Jap import id get it serviced ASAP and then from there get it serviced every 50,000km or so. Its cheaper to service a box regularly than to replace it.

Id get the dealer to service it, or at least get them to supply the correct fluid.

Theres an inspection bung at the back of the transmission 6mm or 8mm alen key and really only need to change cvt fluid 100,000kms but if ypur towing need to inspect every service and check the color and smell

According to owner's manual the CVT never requires servicing, which I take with a large pinch of salt.

As far as Auckland goes try Kaspa Transmissions. I have no idea if they do the Subaru CVTs specifically, but they definitely have CVT experience.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
