We're they able to tell you what exactly was wrong with it? Even with traditional transmissions, some shops will just tell you "it's bad"/needs total replacement even though it may just be a single worn part

 

No he said there was metal in the fluid and the CVT tranny could not be repaired only replaced. I am not having him do the repair. I will bring elsewhere for a second opinion or trade in for a different vehicle.

2010 Legacy with 85K , brought car to mechanic to troubleshoot what felt like hesitation on occasional acceleration and twice it stalled at stop. Mechanic just told me the tranny is shot and needs to be replaced. 8K for a new cvt or 2300 for one with 50K on it. I am at a loss right now
