Honda City Vario Cng problems sorted out

Good news for all CNG users in honda city vario. Most of the ppl are worried about burning of CVT transmission while driving on CNG. I bought a city vario few months back and was horrified to learn that i could not run it on CNG as the auto transmission would burn out. Well i took it as a challenge because CNG is just an alternative fuel and shall not pose any problems to car,s mechanical performance. After trying for 3 months and meeting lots of self taught CNG mechanics, i came to fol conclusion:-
No need to panic, its just ur mechanic troubling u
The transmission will not fail if u change transmission fluid after 20000 kms usage on CNG. use caltex steermatic fluid. there ia a small filter inside CVT transmission of vario which can not be replaced with out opening the the complete transmission assembly. due to clogging of which, the transmission fluid would not circulate and the transmission fails. to avoid this, change the fluid before its get too dirty at the recommended petrol usage of 40000 km.
USE CLIP 4 tomasetto lovato advance / emulator unit but ask mechanic not to attach TPS wire , it is for manual transmission. the advancing would be done by MAP sensor. Here is a complete guide .http://www.tomasettolovato.com.ar/english/download.html

My vario is running fine since , no gear noise and good pick on CNG. i am getting 200 km on a 60 kg tank(amazing). any queries are welcomed (Y)

It Is Factory Recommended To Do Transmission Fluid Get Change After Every 20,000 Km's.....If People Don't DO So......Its Their Fault...
Even Manual Transmissions Need Oil Change After Every 30-35k KM's.....But Who Knows..They Just Make It Full If Get Lower On Level....Don't Just Replace It All Thinking They Might Loose Genuine Oil Running It Over Lacs Of KM's And Then Complain About Noises From Gears.....!!
