Metre Per Second — Premium Car Service and Repair is Hyderabad's dedicated CVT and IVT specialist. A continuously-variable transmission is not serviced like a torque-converter automatic, and treating it like one is exactly why so many Toyota, Suzuki and Hyundai owners end up with a scrapped gearbox. We diagnose the real fault on the manufacturer's own platforms — Toyota Techstream, Hyundai-Kia GDS and Autel MaxiSys — reading launch-clutch slip ratios, lock-up duty cycles and step-motor positions before we touch a single bolt.
Every CVT family fails differently. The Toyota Direct Shift CVT (K313/K410/K120 in Camry Hybrid, Innova Hycross, Hyryder and Vellfire) uses a real planetary launch gear with a wet multi-plate clutch that hands off to a push-belt — get the launch-clutch adaptation wrong and the car shudders off the line forever. The Aisin K114 (Glanza, Urban Cruiser) relies on a torque-converter lock-up clutch and stepper-motor pulley control, while the Hyundai-Kia Smartstream IVT runs a steel chain that demands SP-CVT-1 fluid. We have rebuilt all of them, which is why we fix the shudder, flare or limp-home fault correctly the first time.
Over 10 years and 25,255+ vehicles in Hyderabad, we have built our reputation on honest diagnosis, OEM-spec fluid logged by batch number, and a 1-year warranty on rebuilds. Free pickup and drop across KPHB, Kukatpally, Madhapur, Gachibowli, Hi-Tech City and Banjara Hills means your car reaches our bay without you losing a day of work.
Shudder from 0 km/h, harsh engagement and P2807/P2814 codes on the K313/K410/K120 (Camry Hybrid, Innova Hycross, Hyryder, Vellfire) — wet multi-plate launch-clutch friction pack, seals and full Techstream adaptation re-learn, bench-rebuilt at a fraction of OE cost.
The classic 40–60 km/h shudder on Glanza, Urban Cruiser and older Yaris is worn lock-up clutch friction in the torque converter. We do a two-stage Toyota-spec fluid exchange, lock-up adaptation reset and, where needed, torque-converter replacement.
Whine, flare and rough D-to-R engagement on Hyundai-Kia Verna, i20, Aura, Sonet, Venue and Carens — chain-pressure regulator and step-motor inspection, SP-CVT-1 fluid exchange and full GDS adaptation re-learn.
Full drain-and-fill with the exact OEM-spec fluid — Toyota Genuine CVT Fluid TC (K313/K120), FE (K410), Suzuki CVTF Green 2 (K114) or Hyundai SP-CVT-1 (IVT) — set at the correct temperature, with magnetic-filter inspection and the batch number logged on your invoice.
Sticking solenoids, pressure-regulator drift and position-sensor faults that cause flare and hesitation — solenoid pack, pressure regulator and sensor block reconditioned on the bench, then adapted and road-tested.
When the belt, chain or pulleys are genuinely worn we strip the unit, renew the steel push-belt or chain, inspect and refinish the pulley faces, replace clutch packs, refill with spec fluid and complete a full adaptation cycle.
We understand the launch clutch most garages don't even know exists — 200+ Camry Hybrid, Innova Hycross, Hyryder and Vellfire CVTs serviced with proper Techstream adaptation.
Toyota TC/FE, Suzuki CVTF Green 2 and Hyundai SP-CVT-1 only — every batch number recorded on your invoice. Wrong CVT fluid is the #1 cause of CVT failure in India, and we never take that risk.
Launch clutches, lock-up clutches and valve bodies are bench-rebuilt with OE friction material under our roof — a fraction of OE assembly prices, with timelines we control.

Doorstep collection across KPHB, Kukatpally, Madhapur, Gachibowli, Hi-Tech City, Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills.
Fluid services, launch-clutch and lock-up rebuilds, valve-body work and full overhauls are all backed by a 1-year warranty with a free re-scan.
CVT fluids are not interchangeable. Topping up a Toyota Direct Shift CVT with Jatco NS-3, generic 'CVTF' or even Toyota WS destroys the launch clutch and pulley friction in 2,000–5,000 km. We use OEM-spec fluid only.
CVT fluid runs on coefficient-of-friction additives that deplete faster than ATF. Beyond 60,000–80,000 km the additives are gone — belt/chain slip, launch-clutch shudder and step-motor errors follow.
A Direct Shift CVT launch clutch cycles 200+ times on a single KPHB-to-Banjara Hills crawl. Constant city traffic wears the friction pack far sooner than the maker's interval assumes.
A CVT is not built for sustained heavy load. Towing or carrying a fully-loaded 7-seater Hycross or Vellfire up a ghat pushes fluid past 120°C and oxidises the friction additives within months.
On the Aisin K114, ageing lock-up clutch friction in the torque converter produces the well-known 40–60 km/h shudder long before the belt or pulleys wear out.
On the Smartstream IVT, a drifting step-motor or worn forward/reverse clutch pack causes whine, flare on acceleration and rough engagement that fluid alone won't cure.
Drain-and-fill the CVT/IVT fluid every 40,000–50,000 km in heavy Hyderabad city use — well inside the maker's 60,000 km 'severe service' interval — to keep the friction additives healthy.
Always match the precise fluid — Toyota TC or FE, Suzuki CVTF Green 2, or Hyundai SP-CVT-1. Never substitute a generic CVTF; the wrong fluid will scrap the gearbox.
Smooth, progressive launches reduce launch-clutch and lock-up cycling. Avoid riding the creep and hard standing-start acceleration in stop-go traffic.
If you regularly tow or carry full load, fit an external CVT cooler and tighten the fluid interval to protect the friction additives from heat.
A launch clutch caught early is a bench rebuild; ignored, it becomes a full overhaul. Address shudder, whine or flare the moment it appears.
A yearly Techstream/GDS scan reads launch-clutch slip and step-motor position, catching wear before it turns into an expensive rebuild.

Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid · K120 Direct Shift CVT
Problem: Customer reported a heavy shudder right off the line and a P2807 code. A dealership had quoted a full CVT replacement.
Work done: Techstream live-data showed launch-clutch slip, not belt failure. We bench-rebuilt the wet multi-plate launch clutch with OE friction discs and new seals, exchanged the fluid with Toyota Genuine CVT Fluid TC, and ran the full launch-clutch adaptation re-learn.
Outcome: Judder-free launches restored at roughly a third of the replacement quote, delivered with a 1-year warranty. (₹58,000)
Toyota Glanza · Aisin K114 push-belt CVT
Problem: Strong shudder at 40–60 km/h whenever the lock-up clutch engaged. Owner feared a full gearbox replacement.
Work done: Diagnosis confirmed worn lock-up clutch friction in the torque converter. We performed a two-stage Toyota-spec fluid exchange, magnetic-filter inspection and lock-up adaptation reset, then road-tested under load.
Outcome: Shudder eliminated and smooth cruising restored at a fraction of replacement cost. (₹16,500)
Hyundai Verna · Smartstream IVT chain CVT
Problem: Whine and flare on acceleration with rough D-to-R engagement after two garages refused to service the IVT.
Work done: GDS scan revealed step-motor position drift and clutch-pressure error. We exchanged the fluid with Hyundai SP-CVT-1, inspected the chain and pressure regulator, replaced the step motor and ran a full GDS adaptation re-learn.
Outcome: Whine gone, smooth shift simulation restored, and the owner kept a gearbox others wrote off. (₹41,000)
★★★★★ Karthik Reddy, KPHB — Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid
Bad shudder right from a standstill. The dealer wanted to replace the whole CVT. MPS scanned it on Techstream, found the launch clutch was worn, bench-rebuilt it and reset the adaptation. Drives perfectly now at a third of the dealer quote.
★★★★★ Sandeep Varma, Gachibowli — Toyota Glanza CVT
Shudder at 40–50 km/h on my Glanza. They explained it was the lock-up clutch in the Aisin K114, did a two-stage fluid exchange and lock-up reset. Smooth again and they logged the fluid batch on the invoice.
★★★★★ Pavani Sree, Madhapur — Hyundai Verna IVT
Whining and flaring on acceleration. Two garages refused to touch the IVT. MPS used Hyundai SP-CVT-1, did a GDS step-motor reset and the whine is gone. Genuinely the only place that knew the chain CVT.
★★★★★ Rohit Malhotra, Banjara Hills — Toyota Camry Hybrid
Rubber-band feel and a warning light. They diagnosed low fluid level and a tired launch clutch, sorted both and road-tested for 30 km. Free pickup from my home made it effortless — proper dealer-level work.
★★★★★ Meghana Rao, Kondapur — Kia Sonet IVT
Rough engagement going from D to R. They did the SP-CVT-1 exchange and adaptation re-learn first instead of jumping to a rebuild. Fixed cheaply and honestly. Highly recommend.
★★★★★ Vinay Chowdary, Kukatpally — Toyota Vellfire
Harsh launch and hesitation on my Vellfire's K410. Full launch-clutch service with OE friction and a clear fixed quote up front. The invoice matched exactly and it came back with a one-year warranty.
Watch for shudder from a standstill or at 40–60 km/h, whining or flaring on acceleration, a 'rubber-band' feel that's worsening, rough engagement from D to R, warning lights or limp mode. Any of these means you should get a live-data scan before it worsens.
Yes — we specialise in all three. Each works differently: the Direct Shift CVT (K313/K410/K120) uses a planetary launch clutch, the Aisin K114 relies on a torque-converter lock-up clutch, and the Smartstream IVT is a chain CVT. We diagnose and fix the correct fault for each.
No — this is the single most common reason a Toyota Direct Shift CVT dies in India. The K313/K120 demand Toyota Genuine CVT Fluid TC and the K410 demands FE. Substituting Jatco NS-3, generic 'CVTF' or even Toyota WS will destroy the launch clutch and pulley friction in 2,000–5,000 km. We use OEM-spec fluid only and log the batch number on every invoice.
No. Roughly 80% of 'my CVT needs replacement' jobs are actually fluid, launch-clutch or adaptation issues — far cheaper than a rebuild. We only recommend a full overhaul when the belt, chain or pulleys are genuinely worn, and we prove it during inspection.
A live-data scan is ₹3,500–6,500 (refundable against repair), OEM-spec fluid exchange ₹8,500–22,000, Aisin K114 lock-up service ₹28,000–65,000, Toyota launch-clutch service ₹35,000–85,000, Smartstream IVT step-motor work ₹32,000–95,000, and a full overhaul ₹95,000–1,80,000. You always get a fixed quote after the scan.
Yes, free pickup and drop across KPHB, Kukatpally, Madhapur, Gachibowli, Hi-Tech City, Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills and Kondapur.
A fluid and filter exchange is same-day (3–5 hours). A launch-clutch service takes 4–6 working days, a Smartstream IVT step-motor job 3–5 days, and a full CVT overhaul 1–2 weeks depending on parts. We share photos throughout — strip-down, belt/chain wear and refit.
Yes — 12 months on fluid services, launch-clutch and lock-up rebuilds, valve-body work and full overhauls, honoured at our KPHB workshop with a free re-scan.
