Petertheplanner Neutral Newbie February 28, 2011 Share February 28, 2011 Is colt plus that bad? I am going for my 40k servicing and when i called up the workshop they said its time to do major servicing but yet my bro said no need..just go for normal changing for engine oil etc..is it true? I thought the cvt gearbox problem can be solved via changing of oil reguarly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuan 6th Gear March 4, 2011 Share March 4, 2011 You fren's Colt R most probably isn't modded, or it's modded within the CVT's limit. For a stock Colt R the CVT can take the punishment. But if the engine was modded, the CVT can easily kaput as it's not tuned to handle the increase torque or power. For Colt Rs, anything above 250nm of torque is in danger zone. Anyway, proper care and extra maintenance can help prolong CVT lifespan. - ATF change at half the recommended intervals. For our Colt R is 40km so I change ATF every 20k. - Use only the recommended stock ATF as most CVT are sensitive to their respective ATF. - Installing a ATF cooler may prolong the CVT gearbox as it helps to reduce temperature, esp in our humid tropical climate. - Reduce the frequency of dragging the CVT in tiptronic mode or OD off will help with the lifespan. - Above all, if you mod your ride, mod within the limits of the CVT. Well said! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intruder Neutral Newbie March 9, 2011 Share March 9, 2011 only for those fit/jazz/City with cvt GB after 3 yrs of driving and reading all over forums from local - MY - US I come to a conclusion 1) change @20k interval with cvtf with extreme concentrator if ur pocket is deep 2) always come to a COMPLETE stop before engage reverse / forward gear 3) WOT is always not recommended from move off 4) when u park your ride, do not off your engine @ P mode. 5) do not hit on throttle when u move off your ride while engine is cold (let the startup clutch do its job) this is applicable while on the jam... u shall wait till ur ride move off before hitting the throttle . I heard from the honda SE, that the start up clutch tends to hit up especially when caught in the jam.. hence u gonna be 'gentle' it is not recommended to WOT from move off but its ok to WOT when on the move. next is how you park your ride... (U might find me kinda of paranoid about the GB, but prevention is better than cure) usual habit how ppl park their ride -> park, put to P mode, and off engine. ( you will hear a loud thud sound with slight vibration and it doesnt happen all the time) u try this -> park ur ride, put to N mode. hit the brake (dont let go till u off the engine), and off engine, then put to P mode before putting out the key ( u will not hear any sound at all, totally no vibration ) if you got...come and find me... i teach u..if all fails, please post in sg car mart :) ) I had been practicing this way and install atf cooler and probably, some may not agree with me... my mileage is 60k for a near 3 yr old ride... i couldnt 'prove' my credibility yet unless my mileage is at least 250k... anyway, this is up to your discretion to try. Thank you. You are right. GB is the one of the most 'sensitive' components in the mech department onboard the car. Normally, it should be the least worry about. BUT! when we too "Bo-Chap' it. this little jewel box will hit us badly. $$$ fly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancer sports come in both manual and CVT. Not necessary only CVT. They are using and can only use Mitsubishi Diaqueen III. It is all stated in the manual.

No need for cvt transmission fluid? when u accelerate from standstill.. do u feel gear changing?? like RPM rise to 3K rpm, then drop to 2K.. then repeat again until u reach cruising speed say 80kmh?? or is it just remain like at 2.5K rpm and your speed just climbs to cruising? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
