Lack of acceleration Archives - Transmission Digest
Looking ‘Outside the Box’

My first encounter with a Nissan CVT was an interesting experience. Our wholesale customer had diagnosed the transmission as being bad, so the transmission was then replaced. After replacement, the vehicle owner said the car would not accelerate beyond 40 mph. Since the installed transmission was purchased from us, it then became our responsibility to find the root cause of the problem and get the transmission working properly. We verified the customer’s complaint with the initial road test and then began diagnosing the cause.
