    I'm wondering if the cold Canadian winters are having an effect on the CVT's long term. There is this warning in the owners manual. Even though temps may not be -20C, they may be cold enough consistently enough to create some excessive wear due to lubrication issues.

    Startability of continuously variable transmission(CVT) vehicles with an ambienttemperature of -4 °F (-20 °C) or lowerWhen the ambient temperature is -4 °F (-20°C) or lower, it may not be possible to startfrom a standstill even with the selector leverin the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE)position.This phenomenon occurs because the transaxlehas not warmed up sufficiently; it doesnot indicate a problem. If this occurs, placethe selector lever in the “P” (PARK) positionand let the engine idle for at least 10 minutes.The transaxle will warm up, and you will beable to start normally.Do not leave the vehicle during warm-upoperation.

    Hi, I am trying to find more info on the 2013 90.000km Mirage CVT transmission but I am not able to view your attachments. Any chance you can send these directly to my email? Have just started to notice the warning indicator comes on the dashboard and it sometime seem to slip when going uphill. But mainly when the engine gets very hot. We are located in Sydney Australia where the temperatures can reach 40 degrees! So any information that may relate to this would be appreciated. Tx
