October 4, 201312 yr I am helping a friend diagnose his CVT. The issue is that it acts like a clutch is slipping when you first press the gas, when you back off it grabs and the car pulls fine. The fluid has been changed with CVT fluid. The brushes were worn and have been replaced with new one. The throttle cable for the transmission has been adjusted (and that did help somewhat as it was loose). The car has almost 60,000 miles on it and it has 4wd. The check ECVT light is flashing and most the codes come up with a bad PRNDS switch and a few other oddballs. I am having him check all the harnesses and plugs to make sure everything is good as this car did not get any TLC from the past owner. R Ds and D all feel and act the same. A trnasmission shop checked the internal pressures and they were deemed good. The remaining possibilities are a bad ECVT computer or a bad electro clutch. Ideas? Suggestions?
