I am fairly sure subaru manufactures their own Lineartronic CVT TR 690 and TR 580Subaru's and Nissan's CVT transmissions are both made by JATCO.
There are only three manufacturers of CVT transmissions in the world. Toyota, Honda, and JATCO.
If it has a CVT and it's not a Toyota or a Honda then the transmission was made by JATCO.
I did not find the one in Parents Subaru Outback nor sisters Honda CRV that different in normal driving. I did not even notice it. My parents have a 2015 Outback and no issues with theirs.Have only had CVT’s in rentals and will keep it that way …
Pretty sure I have only had it in Nissan’s … I always select SUV when booking online bcs I travel with large bags for long stays …I did not find the one in Parents Subaru Outback nor sisters Honda CRV that different in normal driving.

Seems to be somewhat common:Any manufacturer can have a bad one, unless it becomes a trend, then I wouldn't be concerned. The only CVT I own is in my Yamaha Grizzly 660, turns 21 this year. I'm old I try to avoid CVTs in cars, but Subaru, Toyota, and Honda have sold thousands of them. I would hope they would be reliable.
Indeed they do. Subaru's CVT is not a Jatco product.Subaru's CVT may be the best.

The start/stop in the loaner Outback is terrible.
Buster - you sayin’ there’s a good oneThe start/stop in the loaner Outback is terrible.
I don't blame you. I'm glad you can turn off the start/stop. It's horrible.Hah, I felt the same way on that 2023 Outback loaner I had when they pulled the engine out of our old 2019 Outback. It was so darn clunky stopping and starting.
Not trying to start anything but after that repair I quickly traded that car off for something with a traditional automatic. The CVT started acting really strange and while I had a Subaru extended warranty I was not looking forward to it sitting at the dealer for another week. Pretty sure the place I traded it in to put a transmission in it after a failed fluid swap attempt.
OOPs!
Yeah crazy using roll pins of the chain to contact and drive off of those variators. Contact area? It looks worse than the push belt.subaru chain drive its also pull vs the "pusher" belt on nissan cvt.

Knowing the replacement cost of them I would not get one again, especially Subaru. Honda and the Toyota eCVT seem to be bulletproof.My 2015 Forester CVT blew up, and I mean blew up on 84 in Hartford CT. It was 5 yrs old with 75000 miles. Local dealer covered it with rebuilt CVT. I learned later from dealer of silent recall. 2012-2015

Unheard of. No more than a AT.Honda CVT failure doesn't seem to be unheard of.

I rarely if ever hear of them failing.Bulletproof implies unheard of.
