Today is something different! We have a bad CVT out of a 2014 Subaru Outback with only 108k miles, just 8K miles outside of the extended warranty through Subaru. This was a freebie from a friend and there's no goal of fixing, repairing, or salvaging any components for reuse. These transmissions are not as reliable as the standard automatic transmissions they replaced, and have been the reason many of these cars end up scrapped. Fortunately for those who are inclined, you can buy the individual components if you wanted to attempt to fix one of these transmissions. There aren't a lot of places offering a "remanufacturing" service however.

The goal of a CVT is to keep the engine at its most efficient RPM while accelerating and cruising. On paper, they are better on fuel. In reality, they aren't always better on fuel. They are cheaper to produce, and easier to control emissions on which is why some manufacturers prefer them.
My experiences tell me they aren't as reliable as their automatic transmission counterparts, and because they are typically less repairable when they fail, it becomes a financial burden on the owner of the car. Not all of them are unreliable, and many of them are very good depending on what kind of vehicle you buy. For instance, the 6 cylinder Subaru CVT seems to be very reliable compared to this one. That being said, do your research before you jump into a car with a CVT.
