Can spinning wheels while stuck in the snow damage a CVT?

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by user928112 on June 2, 2021

I pulled over today and the front of my car went into the snow and got stuck. I managed to free myself by shifting into reverse and flooring it for about 30-45 seconds.

Could I have damaged my CVT transmission by doing this? The car in question is a Nissan Maxima.

Also, how can doing something like this potentially damage a CVT transmission? Is the overheating that’s the primary reason for why the damage occurs, or is there something else at play?

One Answer

Flooring in reverse wouldn't make your transmission damaged otherwise when you driving forward you will change your transmission every day. Just check your oil condition in your transmission.
