Uh-oh :/ CVT booboo

[2024mirage]

17k km roughly on odometer now, yesterday was getting on the highway in ds CVT was not cold but was not too warm either around 30 celcius I put it in ds coming onto the highway on ramp, gradually and steadily accelerated then held throttle around 20 percent where I had previously never encountered anything, it suddenly began surging the rpm, up and down several several times. For around 30 seconds before I let off and put it into drive. It drove fine afterwards. I did notice also in the last few days and on the drive home last night, upon coasting with zero load essentially at certain speed, a clinking, like coins being dropped on the ground, like a ka-ting-ka-ting clank noises. In succession, and seems like on a certain rhythm.

Doesn't always do it, but sometimes upon acceleration there is the same clink, but only 1-2 times.

Interesting. Were you using cruise control in your commute? If so, from my experience it tends to rev the RPM higher than needed even on a slight incline pavement. To combat that unwanted super high RPM, I just cancel/turn off CC and adjust my throttle a lil instead.

I haven’t experienced anything you describe yet and have had been using Ds from time to time.

Negative, not in cruise. My foot could not have been any more steady.

CVT was not cold but was not too warm either around 30 celcius

This was the trans fluid temperature at the time when this happened?
