Disadvantages of the Jatco JF009E gearbox

  • The CVT’s reliability is quite good, as it’s paired with less powerful engines;
  • Most often, the stepper motor is replaced;
  • Driving with frequent revving will quickly stretch the belt, causing it to slip;
  • Dust from worn mechanical parts clogs the solenoids, causing slippage;
  • The oil pump is often repaired, and its pressure relief valve requires replacement.
