A CVT transmission replacement cost could fall between $3,000 and $8,000.
That range can see a lot of variances depending on factors like what parts are needed for your make and model, labor costs in your area, and how long it takes to remove the faulty CVT transmission and install the new one.
That said, it’s possible that a CVT transmission replacement isn’t necessary yet, and your vehicle could just need a transmission fluid change. Regardless, a faulty transmission would be a serious safety issue since it would affect your ability to properly control your vehicle, so if you have concerns about yours, you should have a mechanic look at your transmission as soon as possible.
If you do end up needing a CVT transmission replacement, a standard car insurance policy probably wouldn’t be much help in covering costs here, either, unless your transmission failure was caused by a covered incident.
