I have pity for the noob that will be up all night trying to figure out what you just said...

 

^hahahaha
i had to double check that when i typed it to make sure i didn’t screw anything up!

 

Yeah, I guess all the fun pulleys and belts and stuff inside the CVT is a beast. So if you grenade your tranny, you just get a new one.

Now, maybe a tranny shop could work on the CVT. I don't know. But the dealership WILL NOT.

 

i wonder how much it will be for a new cvt tranny..... prolly half the price of the car..

 

Let's just say that you better pray your warranty covers it...

 

If it blows up out of warranty, it would be cheaper to do a conversion to standard than it would be for a new CVT.

 

Might not be possible. Sooooooo much of the car is tied into the ECU, I seriously wonder if you could even do an ECU swap and have everything work correctly.

 

LSDs aren't cheap. $1,000+ is normal and should be expected, plus installation isn't cheap if you can't do it yourself.

 

Phantom Grip?

 

A Phantom Grip is about as useful as a diet crouton. It sits on the same pedestal of awesomeness as the eBay "Add 50 HP and 30 MPG" chips.

 

STAY away from Phantom Grip. Eventually it will kill your diff. OUch. Stay away.

ROAD/RACE

 

hmm…looks like i need to start saving

 

are m/t trannys not serviceable either??

 

Yes you can service a manual transmission

 

Rebuilding one was the worst experience of my life
