Subaru Car Cvt Goes Into Nutral When Flooring It

I have stomped the gas to the floor 2 or 3 times when it was 500 mile.

Subaru car cvt goes into nutral when flooring it. It could be a worn out clutch pedal or the clutch fluid. List of the cons of a subaru cvt transmission. While a geared transmission typically bursts off the line a cvt has a smoother and slower increase to maximum power.
