Mastering CVT Transmissions is your complete guide to understanding, maintaining, and repairing modern continuously variable transmissions (CVTs). Written by Dr. Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman, an international expert in Lean Maintenance, reliability, and automotive systems, this book combines deep technical knowledge with real-world experience.
What you'll find inside:
- Clear explanations of how CVTs work, compared with manual, automatic, and dual-clutch (DCT) systems.
- Preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance practices to extend transmission life.
- Hands-on procedures for fluid care, filters, diagnostics, and full rebuilds.
- Real case studies drawn from practical repair and teaching experience.
- OBD-based troubleshooting methods and failure-prevention strategies.
- Tables, charts, and appendices with essential specifications and capacities.
Why this book is different:
Dr. Soliman not only studied CVTs academically but has rebuilt Nissan CVT units personally, applying industrial best practices such as predictive maintenance, infrared thermography, vibration analysis, oil condition monitoring, and Lean principles. His international career in manufacturing, reliability engineering, and automotive maintenance gives this book a unique blend of theory and practice.
Also by the author:
Dr. Soliman has written several bestselling books in maintenance and reliability, including:
- Autonomous Car Maintenance
- Industrial Applications of Infrared Thermography
- Vibration Basics and Machine Reliability Simplified
- The Complete FMEA Handbook
- AI in Maintenance & Reliability
- Machinery Oil Analysis & Condition Monitoring
- Lean Maintenance
- Ultrasound Analysis for Condition Monitoring
- Maintenance Strategy Optimization
Note: This book is a professional technical reference, not an OEM illustrated repair manual. It focuses on diagnostic reasoning, failure analysis, and hands-on guidance supported by real workshop experience.
Whether you are a driver, mechanic, or engineer, this book equips you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to master CVTs - from everyday care to advanced diagnostics and rebuilds.
