I just replied to your other thread, but this one is more active! The CVT boxes are notoriously tricky when it comes to finding competant mechanics to work on them. If your man has told you you need a new box without even looking at it...he's almost certainly wrong. The number of CVTs which get written off because mechanics do not understand them is frightening.
Given that you have (or had? has it gone away?) the cold-start issue, I strongly suspect that you have a vacuum problem...vacuum being critical to the operation of the CVT box (unlike on a normal car where a vacuum leak simply makes the engine run badly).
cheers
