u/idiocracy_in_az

I bought her new in 2008 and never let her go. Currently has 204k miles on the odometer and the CVT finally gave up on me. She still has great bones aside from the passenger side my wife has swipes on two occasions.

The obvious is to just take it and sell it to junk yard but I’m open to input from those who have replaced the CVT. What cost am I looking at going to a non dealer garage?

I know it’s put in a strong 18 years but it seems like a waste to just scrap over a transmission.

I am mechanically inclined and open to repairs myself but the CVT doesn’t look easy to get to and also difficult to rebuild. Looking for any suggestions from the community. Thanks
