Transmission consult workshop on screen warning, then speed reduced and fun noise. I parked later I drove it perfect again. I am worried,

It broke the outer CV and it overstayed without being switched for over a year and 8 months. I recently fixed it and it was crackling and not restarting the engine. It was discovered with a scan that it was a fuel pump jamed. The mechanic resolved it and it started running. It's then began complaining of a transmission consult workshop. And the speed is reduced with fun noise. Thanks

Thanks very much for the detail.
What does your mechanic feel about changing the transmission fluid..?

I just discovered that the mechanic did put a CVT fluid in my gearbox instead of ATF 1200. There are Strange engine sounds such as clunking
Stalling after changing gears
Gears that won’t shift
Rough shifting
Gears that slip
Clutch locking up
So How Long Do I Have?
