M4VA

The first Honda CVT transmission named as M4VA (Multimatic) was designed in 1995 for Civic with engine 1.6 liters and had been installed on American models of Honda until 2000. In 2000 this CVT was slightly updated and renamed as MLYA, but after a short time a new modification under the name SLYA was released and installed not only on American Civic but also on Honda City. The modification SLYA didn’t have typical problems of the predecessor and this CVT had been produced from 2002 until 2005 for Civic with the engine 1.7 liters. To this day SLYA is installed on 1.5 liter Honda Fit.
