The main issues typically encountered with the 2013 Subaru Impreza's CVT transmission stem from belt or gear problems. Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, CVT transmissions are more intricate, functioning without distinct gears. They continuously adjust ratios between the transmission and engine for optimal fuel efficiency. While this concept appears sound, CVTs are more delicate in practice and may require full replacements rather than repairs due to their complexity. Repair options for CVT systems may be limited as they are not as widely serviced as traditional transmissions.
