CVT broken in 2 months w00t

condomsatki: If the car is under warranty and the transmission gets replaced, you should get an extended warranty on the transmission (beyond normal warranty period).

95331140: Depending how far out of warranty period you car is, it might be worth enquiring about 'good-will' warranty on the transmission. At my dealership they offer this to customers if its not far out of normal warranty period, if the issue is a known/common fault and/or if the car has been kept up to date with servicing history.

panda[cRx] may be able to clear this up?

Ive got a jazz VTi-S aswell, and on take off, under load, or on a hill, there is a slight shudder from 10km/h for about 1 second.

CVT's in the R50 Mini Coopers all do the 'delayed response'/shudder on take off. From the info i've gathered at work on our information boards, this issue or 'operation' is pretty much just the band gear coming into tension and loading up once torque is applied.

Just a shame that car manufacturers (as far as i've seen) cant seem to be getting the CVT perfect, just yet.
