How to repair a CVT transmission (don't let them tell you it can't be done!)

How we fixed the CVT transmission in our 2016 Honda HRV with a few simple items. This saved us from having to replace it, and may work on Nissan and Jeep too! I walk you through step by step how we diagnosed and revived this one without replacement, including showing how it acts on the road, and how the inside of the transmission looks after 145k miles!
