Disadvantages of the Toyota K111 gearbox
- The only weak point of this CVT is the low bearing life.
- All other problems are related to contamination of the valve body channels and solenoids.
- If you rarely renew the lubricant in the transmission, it will soon start to work jerkily.
- This will lead to accelerated wear and sooner or later it will end in a broken belt.
- The resource of the continuously variable transmission also depends heavily on the cleanliness of the cooling system.
