That very useful information and thanks for sharing .

Yes, I have the two symbols and most likely is GB issues .. do you mind to recommend GB specialists to me ?

I also got mine overhauled; for RM4.5k including labour and transmission fluid with 1 year warranty from Summer Auto Transmission. Took a total of 11 days.

u are not alone in the CVT issue. My family's previous generation HRV car was also sent in for a repair due to the CVT belt bursting inside. Spend rm4k+ at Sg Buloh workshop

Error code P1765 secondary pulley pressure too low, all the punch cvt kena the same after high mileage. Worst more often kena to saga flx cvt, second hand value rm12k nobody wants. Proton should end production of car using punch cvt, is a failure product. Once got clutch slipped, it will triggered traction control and pandai2 help u to free gear in the middle of drive.

Any brand car gearbox will have problem if don't service the gearbox oil, once got jerking symptoms need to straight away change the gearbox oil + treatment as maybe gearbox filter already clogging and fluid not entering the valvebody to create enough pressure.

Sad case is for this proton punch not cheap, cvt fluid + filter + adaption rm500+. Like my old 1st gen persona, once got jerking problem just buy 5x rm30 atf oil paid tyre shop rm50 gaotim. If not 100% settled problem pun the car won't free gear at middle drive like this st*pid punch cvt.

My big question now is; are all cars with CVTs fated to have their gearbox replaced/overhauled? I'm not a car enthusiast so I may be missing something.

Seems like many cars are using CVTs but from what I understand, CVT will be prone to wear and tear and eventually need to overhaul gearbox.

It doesn't make sense to me that the majority of cars nowadays are sold with the expectation that the consumer will have to spend thousands to overhaul their gearbox after a few years.

To tell u the truth, manufacturer choose CVT cz that's the "cheatcode" for getting a better FC, better emissions and obviously the cost, much cheaper than normal proper gb with gear. Why better FC, cz peak torque gaining issues can be settled by the gb, it can move the rpm freely vs normal auto, not torque hunting.

Based on my previous hrv repair at GB shop, I saw majority of the gb are with CVT, followed by dry clutch dct. And those CVT repair at shop workshop told due to belt burst and owner did follow the cvt oil interval, my family car included. That car burst it cvt at 125k km just few months after warranty finished.

My old car waja 1.6 4 gear auto had no issues whatsoever with the GB even hit mileage of 310k km. If it used CVT, i bet it needs 1-2 times belt replacement already

Yeah, mine also follow recommended gearbox oil change, never skip. Mileage wasn't that high, only 57k km. Used 8 years, then kena this issue.

It just leaves me feeling like this is all one big scam by the automobile industry. Sell you a car where after a number of years, you need to replace your gearbox. Bought the car for around RM45k. If replace original gearbox RM10k, that's 20% of your car value right there. Even if overhaul around RM4k, that's still 10%.

My mum's car is Honda City 2018 model. Also CVT. This leaves me wondering now how long before her gearbox also need to go for repair.

city hybrid is 7sp dual clutch not cvt. but jaga bateri instead

DCT dry clutch, hopefully no issue. The 1st DCT oil change at 160k km by Honda Malaysia if follows the book. Afraid for the GB condition then. inb4 saw mostly CVT gb need repair at GB workshop followed by DCT - dry clutch (especially the base VW model)

all this talk about cvt getting me scared

are there any telltale signs that my cvt is going to grenade itself? i bought it used so idk how its supposed to feel when new.

from when i got it till now havent change cvt fluids. serviced once in sc when i got the car. now contemplating servicing outside since aready >5 years.

If sekali kena engine or gearbox problem rm4~5k overhaul each, ultimately better sell off the car for the sake of peaceful mind rather than a no ending problemactic car that brings u miserable life.

I was going through the options when this happened to me. Had just finished paying off the loan, plan to drive the car until it kiamat and enjoy life without car loan.

If sell off and can get RM15k for it, then minus overhaul cost means only get around RM10k. New Myvi cost RM50k. Instead of car loan free, end up stuck with new RM40k car loan. How la to escape from loan life if like that?

So end up no choice fork out RM4k for the repairs. Fortunately no issue 1 and half year later (touch wood).

inb4 buy 2nd hand car la. Not very knowledgeable with cars, so buying 2nd hand car for me is another whole new set of challenges. Scared kena chop upfront, end up buy never ending problematic car, etc.
My City is not hybrid version, so it should be CVT.

did your car show any symptom before that issue happened? like engine light on the dashboard or something else...

No symptoms before it happened. But at the moment it happens, one of the lights (don't remember which one) will appear on the dashboard and will stay there until restart engine.

thanks..

lately i got the engine light turned on on the dash, then after the next day it longer shows.

my car is going to be 10 years old coming month, current at 52k km, after reading about the cvt issues i'm start thinking whether is it worth overhauling the cvt and continue to use until it breaks or just sell it off...
