Glory 580 CVT Transmission Overheating – Common Problem in Pakistan?

I’m using a 2021 DFSK Glory 580 1.5 Turbo automatic in Karachi, and recently I’ve started seeing a “Transmission Overheating” warning after driving in city traffic for more than 30–40 minutes. The car then starts to lag when accelerating. Has anyone else in Pakistan experienced this with the CVT gearbox? Is this a design flaw o r a cooling issue? What’s the best way to deal with this before it leads to full transmission failure?

Yes, jerking and delayed shifts in the DFSK Glory 580 Pro are commonly reported among owners in Pakistan. This could be due to:

Low-quality o r old CVT fluid: CVT fluid degrades over time and loses viscosity. Try replacing the fluid if you haven’t already done so.

Throttle body o r sensor issue: Sometimes its not the transmission but a faulty throttle position sensor TPS o r dirty throttle body, which can confuse the CVT into shifting improperly.

Driving habits: Rapid acceleration o r heavy loads can cause more noticeable jerks in CVT systems.

CVT Belt Slippage: If the belt inside the CVT gearbox is worn, it can lead to delayed response.

In Pakistan, CVT parts are not always available easily, but Lahore and Karachi have a few DFSK-certified workshops o r Chinese auto parts importers. You may be quoted around PKR 100,000–150,000 for a full CVT repair o r replacement, depending on damage.
