sounds like a CVT transmission~ there is no reason to go inside there...unless dripping green oil...like a monster...but your oil changers will know what to do....these are very difficult to do...needs a big vacuum machine and pressure thingy~ best leave the CVT to the professionals~ the transmission givin' you trouble?...have it looked at~
