CVT Failure - the costs

[sarusa]

Not that this is the thread but there is a facelifted CJ for 2016 with new bumper and CVT, some interior changes also but its not much. I agree they should have done much more to keep it current.

direct injection would have been nice bump the power up pos: 20 or so kilowats . Plus option 2.4 for ES at a cost!

Just wondering what is the cost difference between a Manual the CVT and the SST used in the RA and EVO?

Is the Manual a lot cheaper to replace/repair?

brand new sst is 10k+
second hand can cost upto 5K no gaurentees on condition

and you can get a 5 speed manual box for $550

So a little difference and another reason stick shift rules!

CVT's are around 600-900 at wreckers. should be ok providing there is no damage to the unit and all fluid is still there. and no missing dipstick.

i've seen 5k-7k from dealer.

the 1 and only benifiet of the manual box is it takes more power than the sst, i wouldn't take a fully paod for ,annual conversion ever, sst is so much better
