CVT question
Still haven't bought my new car..... Noticed that Subaru uses CVT trans and have a couple of questions:
1) Have they finally corrected the problems that caused the extended warranty necessity of the past year or two (?)
2) I understand that CVT is basically a 'belt-driven' trans., is that true?
3) Does a CVT utilized a trans lubricant (I realize that it doesn't use trans "fluid" as we have known it)?
4) If it does utilize a basic lubricant, can it be treated like the manual trans lubes of the past ie. just ignore it until you either pull the trans or junk the car?
Appreciate any info..... THANKS,
John
