Re: Inquiry about recommendations for CVT Failure.
CVTs are bad news at the best of times, a combination of not quite polished design/engineering and load related failures seem most common.
If I had one I'd be changing the 'lifetime' fluid and the band regularly, as I would want it to last well past 60k too. But in the end all you can do is hope for the best.
Second hand ones are around, very much luck of the draw when you get one of course, so be sure to get a refund and/or replacement warranty noted on the invoice.
I'd more likely switch to manual as you don't want to be hit and miss. More costly to do but at least it would be more reliable afterwards.
Watch these and cry:
