How did this shake out? Did that one blow up, too?
I am a proud :cool: 2015 mirage owner makes 4 years next month. I have done 2 CVT fluid changes 1 at 35k to 40k MI and at 80k mi. At this moment I have 110k. Zero complaints out of me concerning the Jatco CVT. I will admit I am a bit ruff. I drive easily speeds of 70 to 85 mph on my commute to work which is close to 120mi round trip. I have been driving this way since I purchased. So I'm a firm believer in the success of Jatco CVT. Also change my oil every 10k mi which I did the other day.. One last thing I have yet to drain transmission from plug I have always used vacuum pump and fill her right back up. My little I-10 road warrior. If it makes it to 200k mi that will reinforce my confidence to overhaul engine or CVT if anything ever happens. Fingers crossed 200k here I come.
Thanks All for your response I located the source.

Ah yes, I remember when I was so young and full of hope.
I have the same commute (120 miles) with the same speeds (70-80mph), and now a lump of steel where a functioning CVT used to be. And it basically went from good to uh-oh in the space of a week, and then limped on for a couple more months because I'm brave.
If you hit 200,000 miles, you will be the highest mileage CVT on here. As of now the highest is/was shy of 192,000 miles. Mine was at 175,000 miles. Best of luck.
@Fummins: I haven't sourced one yet, I'm a little reluctant until this weather clears up. My garage isn't heated. Brrr.
