Just bought this car in April and I have been reading and hearing nothing but bad things about the CVT transmission. Is it possible for me to switch it to a M43 because the CVT just went out on me? I am not a mechanic however. Please get back with me.

The transmission swap is viable because it has it's own module. It has been done successfully on other Ion's.

Wanted to see if you could further assist me with the swapping of a CVT transmission in the car listed above (coupe) to the AF23. Or point me in the right direction. Thanks

I recommend you replace it with the same unit or get another car. Sorry nothing you can do.
