CVT Transmission is jerky/clunky (please help!)

[WI_Mirage]

Did the deslership even tell you what the issue was for the 1st CVT?

The 1st time they said it needed a fluid exchange. So I coughed up $100 to get that done. Then they said it needed to be flashed, or something like that. Did that for free, nothing. Then the new transmission, and now a transmission control module.

The fact you got a brand new CVT is awesome but dont expect your sh!tbox to be smooth as a Mercedes.

yeah. My future upgrade after this car will definitely be a manual, and hopefully a Subaru Outback XT. I'd really like to, myself, drop in a JDI 6-speed manual. This will be when I finish school and am making close to 6 figs in IT. Then I can put a bed and storage space in the car, throw on a roof rack, load up a whitewater kayak, snowboard, scuba gear, climbing gear, etc. and travel around the states while working from home, or "working from roam" as I like to call it

Thanks for all the replies! I will continue to reply to everyone and update this thread as things get worked out.

Good luck and keep us posted.

What was the reason for it needing to be replaced?

It was still having shift shock and the dealership didn't know what else to do about it, besides replace it.

Somewhere around here is a thread describing the Mirage CVT. It is basically a continuously-variable transmission with a high range and a low range. It also has what's called Idle Neutral Logic that places the transmission in neutral when stopped. And let's not forget about Hill Start Assist. Shifting from low range to high and back can be managed simply by how much acceleration you are calling for as the driver/operator. Can any of these systems be contributing to what you are experiencing? Hard to tell from here.

I'll look for that thread...

Try these:

Information about the Mirage CVT (Jatco CVT7 JF015E) operation, video, diagrams
How your CVT works

Oh and don't think our favorite little cars are primitive. Mitsubishi packed a lot of technology in 'em, especially for the price.

Who let you across the border, Isn't there a wall and a moat with alligators or something?

Oh yeah - I forgot how sensitive you can be about things. Sorry.

Don't be silly, I don't have feelings. Happy Independence Day tomorrow since I won't be around here.
