Be sure to change the ATF fluid, if this has not been done in the last 30K miles. It seems that CVT failures may be caused by worn out fluid. Use only ESL-799A fluid.

 

MCS have Aisin Autos, not CVTs.

Aisin Trannys are pretty solid.

 

so i might not be out a complete trans

 

Check for codes. The Aisin Auto is usually very reliable.
