Trans Issue???
Trans Issue???
When I switch to drive from reverse, the car still goes back a bit before it switches. Also, when on even ground and put into park the car still moves back as if i were uphill. Is this a transmission problem or is this normal for the CVT? thanks guys!

I've noticed this as well. I think the CVT just has a little lag time before it engages.

Its normal for all automatics
When you shift from reverse to drive, while still moving backwards, there is a lockout mechanism that leaves the transmission in neutral, until the car has slowed rolling to a point that its safe to lock into a forward gear, without damaging itself.
When the shift lever is placed in park, a rod pushes a spring against the small tapered bushing. If the park mechanism is lined up so that it can drop into one of the notches in the output gear section, the tapered bushing will push the mechanism down. If the mechanism is lined up on one of the high spots on the output, then the spring will push on the tapered bushing, but the lever will not lock into place until the car rolls a little and the teeth line up properly. It has to roll a little for the teeth to line up to where the parking mechanism can drop into place. Once the car is safely in park, the bushing holds down the lever so that the car will not pop out of park if it is on a hill.
