CVT Question
Got a 97 HX CVT. Mine does what everyone's does but also it slips at a high speed, like 75+mph(that's what my gps say's, my spedo says 80+). I've seen some guru answers to every other cvt problem I've had on this forum but no one's ever touched on this.
This problem never fails to occur and usually I back off as soon as it slips, but once I got brave and let it slip at a not to high rev, like ~4k+ rpm(it slips @ 3.5K). It started rubber band grabbing, doing ever smaller rev bounces between 4k-5k until I broke the 80mph barrier and it was grabbing again.
Also, a minor less worrying question. After long 70+mph freeway stints for like 60-80 miles it's happened on occasion that I've slowed to a stop on an off-ramp only to immediately accelerate again. Upon acceleration there was no power but the effect was brief and I've just chalked it up to being a quirk of an old and uncared for CVT. If I'm wrong and it's something I should look into please tell me.

Well, be wary of a problem that "fixes" itself. So I'd bet he either doesn't have the car or did a transmission swap or something.
It's been said often that CVT transmissions are prone to issues.

yeah it was only getting worst as soon as he would start to move it would give a few big jerks. he just got swapped the whole motor and trans for an ls.
bty his trans was one single gear.
