2008 Dodge Caliber Transmission Continuous Variable Transmission
What is Dodge CVT Transmissions?
Some of the newer Dodge vehicles, such as the Dodge Caliber, have a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) option available to provide customers with improved acceleration and enhanced fuel economy.
A CVT transmission is a type of automatic transmission, however, it operates without any physical gears by using a belt and pulley system for an unrestricted range of gear ratio. The CVT is the part of the car that turns engine rotations into torque; allowing one to drive at variable speeds. It is important to note that although several manufacturers have started using CVT's in their newer models, each design is slightly different. At Mister Transmission, our technicians have completed extensive training specific to each Dodge vehicle make and model, and specialize in CVT transmissions to ensure you receive high-quality repairs that last.
What are the common problems?
A few signs to look for that might indicate a transmission problems
- Transmission 'jerking', slipping, grinding or jumping during acceleration when the car is shifting gears
- Shaking or Vibrating feeling when driving
- Leaking Fluid
- Burning Smell
- Check Engine Light On
How to Diagnose Transmission Problems?
CVT's are still relatively new to the market and can be very difficult and complicated to diagnose and repair. Our technicians have completed extensive training specific to CVT's and are well qualified to work with your vehicle. If you have a CVT in your vehicle, you should try and prevent any costly repairs with regular transmission service and always check your vehicle for any unexplained leaks.
The first step in determining your transmission problems consists of the technician connecting the diagnostic equipment to your vehicle's on-board computer. This will produce a code stating where the problem lies. Following this, the vehicle should be taken for a test drive so that the technicians can monitor the transmission's behaviour in real-time. While more comprehensive and hands-on evaluations might still be necessary, today's diagnostic technology is an integral tool in determining the best starting point for further investigations.

Greg Lackey
I was beginning to lose hope that I would ever drive my 1964 ford f100 . The people at Mr Transmission were able to track down parts and rebuild my transmission. I can't tell you how happy I am, they did an excellent job. I highly recommend Mr Transmission of Peterborough. Thank you so much. 😊

Mara Veldman
Amazing business ! I went in believing I had a transmission problem and they took time to check my car and read the codes right away as I was just about to leave town. They told me what was wrong and did not take advantage of me. I am so impressed with their service, integrity and friendliness. I highly recommend this business .

J R
I highly recommend this location. Al and his team were great. I had clunking in my engine and the usual mechanic that I go to told me to go to Mr. Transmission, as they couldn't fit me in for another week. I called Al, explained my situation and he booked me in first thing the next morning. It turned out to be nothing major and I had my car back the same day. Great service and the price was far less than I expected to pay. Thanks again!

Brian Pearson
Automotive service, particularly for older model vehicles, can be hit or miss, and unfortunately mostly miss. At least this has been my personal experience in the Brampton area. Or I should say, that had been my experience until last week. The service I received from Stafford (Brampton - Mister Transmission) was a prime example of true customer focused automotive service. Stafford went above and beyond to ensure our issue was resolved. Stafford worked within their busy schedule to look at our vehicle, identify the problem and then, due to part shortages, took the time and effort to recondition the failing part and get us safely back on the road. Stafford - Thank you!

Nic Jekill
A long overdue review of this business but a few months ago I was completely in a bind driving on a Thursday morning and needing to drive home to Vancouver Island that Sunday, I had lost my reverse gear in my 2007 Ford Escape and was pretty screwed. After calling about 25 transmission shops and mechanics, Mr. Transmission not only managed to squeeze me in same day to take a look at things and do what they could for me, but got me back rolling on the road by the next day. 2500km of driving and a few months later the car is still working great and I cannot thank them enough for helping on such short notice. Absolutely would recommend anyone to this shop, incredibly kind owners who really helped me in a time of need! Thanks Again!
