So far of all the "Nissan CVT Trouble" vids on my feed, not a single one has been related to the 2019 one. Owned since 2020 and no issues aside from needing the battery changed. Still really happy with it!
@tyreelittlejohn4026 research. There's a "dipstic" under the battery that can be used to fill it but no actual "stick" so just put the same amount back in that you drain out from the overflow underneath on the trans oil pan. There's a 10mil filler straw under the drain bolt. Easy easy. But also change the filter and trans cooler filter as well
I think that most people do not know how to drive a car with a CVT, there are many Corollas with broken CTVs and you can see it here on UA-cam, apart from that it must be that the old CVT was delicate, my father-in-law has a B17 but manual transmission and he already has it close 200k and the mechanics go on and on, which indicates that the car really is of outstanding quality, here in Argentina they are very durable, as much as a corolla or civic, here you don't hear any problems with the CVT and I don't think it will persist that fault in the new sentras, it is assumed that they added the 1st and 2nd gear to improve operation, just like toyota did
Never thought of that... I own a 2017 Nissan Sentra SV and to be honest I have not had any issues with the car.... I have done regular maintenance check ups and nothing else.. 180,000 miles car works like new ... Everything works as designed.
I had a 2018 Corolla hated the cvt. It simply would not down shift fast enough on its own unless I put it in sport mode. So braking quick eith the tranny keeping up with sudden loss of speed was a joke. It felt like it was coasting no matter how much you were braking. That car got flooded, so total loss, bought a Nissan Sentra, which slows down 100 percent better, but their cvt is notorious for being a problem. I got geat milage with the Toyota and with the Nissan. So seems you either get dangerously bad engine braking or down shifting ability with Toyota, or you get better down shifting safer with a Nissan that might not make it to 60,000; before having a tranny failure.
The issue is that they can’t handle things that other transmissions can. For example launches. Do too many of those and your cvt will break in under 50k miles.
I just acquired a 2016 Sentra with a bad transmission ( noise in P and N but goes away while in any gear and it slips) this one died at the same miles the one you grabbed 97,000 same color too. Running into a bunch of issues trying to find a trans for a decent price. Guy had one for $1,400 but it had 187,000 miles on it lol. The search goes on
The new Pathfinder went back to a automatic transmission. My Nissan Sentra is a 2017 and it currently has 130,000 miles. Owned it since new and have not had any problems with it.
Those cvts seemed relatively cheap to repair to me. Has to be cheaper to rebuild than to replace unless you're getting a steal of a deal on a replacement.
@@justcallmeeddie1 hi buddy my nissa sentra 2013 is stuck at gear 1 and not moving more than speed of 20 it is running fine most of the time but sometime it gets stuck on gears, i have checked this thing and it shows transmission solenoids problem, it is costing me 1000 bucks from nissan showroom what should i do now.
I got burnt once on a 2011 Cube cvt rebuild that cost me in 2018 $3500 with one warranty or 12000 miles! However, after watching tons of videos why did we fail at 106,000 miles. The dealer never told me that there were filters inside that could be replaced! I did two drains & refills one complete filter was replaced at 50,000 miles, a total 91,000 miles on rebuild total on Cube 197,000!! Never again any CVT as a vehicle.
STAY AWAY FROM NISSAN!!! I own a 2017 Nissan Rogue and twice the CVT Transmission failed. I lookup online and found so many customer complaints regarding the same problem with CVT Transmission issues. Since Customers filed massive lawsuits against Nissan, they have extended the powertrain warranty coverage for CVT repairs, replacements, and towing to 10 years/120,000 miles, whichever comes first. Recently I had to replace the whole CVT Transmission in my Rogue which is out of warranty and it cost me a TON of money. From my own experience with this car, advice to you; just stay away from Nissan period!!! Nissan will learn that unhappy customers will never buy they their product ever again, since they are ignoring this specific problem since 2003. Enough is Enough NISSAN, you used to make great cars back in 70's, 80's and 90's but not anymore.
I have a 2017 Altima that I bought new. It has 112K on it. I changed the cvt fluid at 55K and 112K. No power flush, that can damage the valve body. If 6 quarts drain out only put 6 back in. The torque converter holds fluid that stays in. Bf I changed fluid at 112K I got a check engine light and a high rev/ no acceleration issue several times. The code the tcm was throwing out was 0776 (pressure control solenoid B), and a code for bad O2 sensor. Since the fluid change the light went off and the hesitation and high rev situation hasn't occurred since.
The ctv fails because you give it to shops for an oil change then it messes up right after. They drain a lil transmission fluid and never top it off. Leaving it dry
Drove a 2024 Altima SV as a rental. This is the most uninspiring vehicle I've ever driven. Feels ultra cheap, doesn't ride particularly comfortably and the materials feel like they were pulled right out from the budget bin. The CVT makes the engine loudly drone under load and the vehicle feels more sluggish than a 2011 Corolla we once owned. If I owned one, I'd have little confidence this vehicle would be reliable 3-5 years down the road. For a brand that advertises 'performance' and 'sportiness', this thing is an embarrassment.
The staffer motor goes out on those transmissions, and people try to overcharge you for fixing them when it's only a little electric motor under the vowel body called a staffer motor

Hello, I passed my 2018 Nissan kicks in flood water. It stopped immediately. I tried starting it several times but it won't start. Till I got a mechanic to kick start it continuously we ended up with so much water coming out the exhaust. After some days the cvt transmission went out. We were advised to have it completely replaced with the brand new one. But due to financial constraints we bought a used one. Unfortunately it keeps jerking and you can smell something burning from the engine. Also when you accelerate it loses power and you will have to restart the vehicle before you can get it to move. Recently we diagnosed the car after changing the transmission a second time and got an error code of p0744 torque converter clutch intermittent. Please can you help. What must be done to fix the car?
My 2015 Sentra’s transmission has went out.. someone told me about the year and model they didn’t do so good so I have started to research it because I thought buying a new transmission would be the better thing to do, especially with everything I have going on. Thank you so much for this video. I’m sad, I thought I had a real beauty and im still lost a bit but your sharing of knowledge omg is power. How long would a new transmission last? If you don’t have a good job for new payments, should you just fix the transmission? ThankYou for all the advice.
Hey thanks for the info I have a 2018 sentra with a bad cvt I am planning on replaced myself. I am a tech but i dont know if it needs to be programed aftet replaced?
Yes it will need to be programmed. You will most likely have to tow it to the dealer after installing it to program. I have used mobile programers before also. You can program yourself with the right programming hardware and software.
You need a Nissan Consult III plus to program the TCM, the other option is carry over the ROM chip from your old transmission and reset your trans adaptations with a Autel/Launch/Snap-On scan tool.
Nice video. I have a b15 2002 with low miles I had sitting for a long time. It was my first car. It gave me headaches throughout the years but she’s a rock all in all. I have a modern new suv to enjoy with my family but I wanted to buy a used 2012 sentra 2.0. Do you think the b16 sentra 06-12 are good sentras? I hear most all complaints are linked to the b17 sentras from 2013-+
Yes it is. Sorry to hear about your troubles with such low mileage. Misfires can also cause that issue but its more often the transmission on the nissan sentra.
@@justcallmeeddie1 I just want an honest answer at this point. 😭.. I have the same problem mentioned here and I've had ppl tell me that it's no use changing the fluids (Nissan dealer tech said this) and he was the 2nd person to say that with the mileage I have (130,000) that it could risk the car not running anymore after the change. Another Nissan tech over the phone recommended the transmission fluid drain and fill, as it should be done every 30 to 60,000 miles or so. More ppl say that more than likely won't fix the problem. My question is, if it's recommended every 30,000+ miles, then why is it a risk to do so at this point.. even if it wouldn't stop the "rumble strip vibration".. *great description btw*.. Wouldn't it still be good to have it done? And couldn't it potentially lessen or eliminate the problem? I just think ppl want me to leave it with them to diagnose, which costs in itself, only to give me the highest quote possible and leave me with only the options of rebuilding or replacing the trans. If you could.. a little advisement regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Thx in advance
My son has a 2013 Nissan Sentra with 97K miles. Nissan dealer just told me it would be approximately $7400 to fix the transmission with a 12 month/12K warranty. Does it make sense to fix? HELP!
Yes this does make sense. These transmissions aren't cheap and dealerships charge high prices for their repairs. My advice is to find a smaller independent shop to swap it out.
I bought a 2013 sentra about a week back for 1,500. Transmission needs replaced it'll cost about 2,500 for it and probably 700 for labor maybe lower, but it's way cheaper buy one new and have someone swap it out :)
Replacing a CVT may sound like the thing to do but they can be $8000. Right about now my 2017 Rogue is not worth a lot more than that. No, I don't plan to replace the transmission if it fails. Pay that for more of the same, heck no! Make no mistake, they are great when new like a lot of vehicles are. It is when they start accumulating miles they wear out and become sluggish. The difference is that some Nissans fail sooner. I heard of one failing with 20,000 miles. Never mind it was still under warranty. It just shows how crappy they really are. You would not want one of these when the warranty is over.
Help me ma Nissan sentra 2014 is making noise and all garage are telling me to change gear 😢 but t its expensive am asking can this problem be solved by repairing ? Or it cant be repaired?
One thing I noticed is there is what looks like an outside temp reading in the middle bottom left of the dash. On my Sentra I don’t have that or if it’s on it just shows -22f. How do I fix this?
Part of the issue with these Nissans is the deaker. One will say serivice the trans at one mileage, another a different mileage and another will say there is no fluid service for that vehicle. Manual says "check the fluid" at a certain mileage, manufacturer has no dipstick to si thst with...but they will sell you one on the Nissan parts site. Change the oil every 5000 mls with synth, service the CVT by every 60K mls and decrease that interval by how hard the vehicle is driven (heavy foot, hard accels, heavy weight, towing). Nissans are cheap due to cheap parts. Cheap parts require better care (be careful removing that intake hose when checking the sir filter) and maintenance.
I have a 2018 Nissan Sentra and when I accelerate it sounds loud and I don't feel that the changes are made fluidly, this has to do with the transmission, right?
I bought a new2007 Nissan Sentra with the cvt trans. I broke three transmissions before it hit 50k miles.. Nissan told me they wouldn’t replace another trans. and I traded it in the next day. Most of my driving was highway so that should have made it easier on the cvt. I will never buy another vehicle with a cvt, not even a Honda. They have had problems too.
Don’t service them? It states right in the owners manual all you have to do is read it. Service it every 30 k . So many run the shit out of these cars. They are economical not a sports car. Inexpensive car, with people not taking care of them. Then cry when they break look at the inside of that car? You said clean , there’s NOTHING clean about it . The inside was taken care of as well as the mechanical.
I agree Service them every 30k. It's the dealerships that tell consumers that not Nissan engineering per say. You're right people drive these cars into the ground and they we designed for economical driving but Nissan takes advantage of that by giving these cars weaker transmissions than the later models so they can sell more transmissions and new cars.
30,000 miles for a $300 dollar job, it was $369 for me cause they quoted me the old price. The hell with that give me a regular automatic transmission or I will learn to drive stick shift. CVT are trash and do not have a good lifespan, 200,000 if you baby the thing.
They are junk. Doing the fluid change does not guarantee they will not fail. We maintained ours and did changes and it ahit the bed at 116000 kms. Rest of the car is mint but replacing the transmission is half the resale price. Will never buy another Nissan
Help me. Nissan Versa 2012 year. I just changed the cvt oil along with the filters. Traction occurs when the speed is 100-120 km/h. Sometimes it happens at a lower speed. What spare parts are you saying to change. Cvt repair is very expensive here.
it might be ur clutch disk depends on the oil u took out of it was dark black then u should have put it back as it has all the materials from ur cvt mainly the clutch disk and now that u put new oil in and flushed out the oil oil with the material in it ur cvt might slip. from cvt owner to cvt owner accelerate ur car slowly and maintain a certain range of speed don’t go from 30 to 60 then 60 to 30 continuously it will damage ur belt hope this helps 👍🏽 just slowly work ur way up and maintain that speed try to break smooth as well
Now that you took the bad one out, spin it and see if you can hear the sound. Or at least that is one way to test a part that you are not 100% sure is the one making that horrible noise.
I got a quote from Nissan how much it is for a new transmission and other things wrong with it. But how much would someone other than Nissan would charge to replace the Trans if I bought the Transmission at Texas, Houston? I'm at 98k miles and not ready for a new whip, lol.
I have vibration when accelerating. I asked one of the mechanic and he told me I have to change the CVT transmission. Knowing that my transmission fluid is less than it should be.. What do you advise me.. refill the liquid or change the transmission
I ve 2018 sentra ..in fact i used to change cvt fluid and filters every year ...inspit of that i see my car now loosing its power with shifting noise ..my advice to keep away from awful jatco transmission!
Bought a 2017 sentra at 97k miles and transmission broke within 5k miles of owning it. Got it replaced and 5k later the new transmission broke. Shits trash
You have to change the fluid! Dealerships are scammers and you all still LISTEN to them. They are NOT sealed transmissions, the fluid isn't good for 100k miles, 60k miles and imo not even 30k miles! Change it every 20k miles!
There is a recall on that Transmission towing free pick up the Nissan dealership has extended up 120 thousand miles. But any way this card are the worse sorry but here it goes THE BEST CAR IS TOYOTA PRIUS
hey man i just called for the warranty on the transmission. I am still unsure they knew what i was talking about cuz they just scheduled me in and didnt say anything lol... i have a 2016 sentra, with 83858 miles on it. Do you think theyll just fix it or replace it still? Does that car go up to 120k miles or is it 84k miles? If you dont know i understand, youre just the only comment talking about the warranty.
Hi, can they make cars transmission easy to fix belts so it's done the same day. Like easy as changing your alternator. Change a belt in transmission and your out the door. I had a transmission going out on a 2017 nissan sentra. Those cars are lemons. Lol "nissan"😮 I returned it back to the dealer. I still was making payments, stopped paying. I brought another nissan rogue. 2015.
What is the problem with saying the price you paid? Neither you on this video nor the commenters want to say. All of you say say “new transmission cost me a ton of money” or “the alternator was $100 less” or “the remanufactured part cost me big bucks”. How about the parts totaled $1500 or the new transmission was $2000 or the alternator was $200 at Oreilly’s but $100 less at this place. This is true everywhere on every video and from people in the comments. Please say the price!!!
"Nice and clean", that was funny. That car is a disaster. I'd hate to see one you call dirty. I'm an auto detailer, but even if I wasn't, the first thing you see is a crooked mat. Not an owner that takes care of anything, that's so basic; tire pressure also. That's probably why the CVT went bad (and everything else); not taking care of it. I have a 2017 Sentra with 65,000 and you can't drive them like you do a conventional transmission. You can't drive at high speeds, you cannot pass with it, you cannot tow with it. you can't push the gas and expect the overdrive you get from a conventional transmission. It goes 0 - 60 in about 3 months with only 124 HP and you must not try to change that. Drive it like you are 60, and it will be okay. Drive it like other cars and it will disappoint you. Change the oil regularly and check it before you drive it from whatever shop you choose to make sure they did it. I take mine to the dealer or do it myself. I was lucky and they gave me a new CVT ($5200 in 2023) under warranty, although I didn't notice anything wrong with it. But now, I will basically baby it for the second half of its life. But that car in the video was driven hard or something and neglected. That's a lot to be wrong at the same time. I haven't put anything but a battery into mine and it looks showroom new. I would have been embarrassed to have surrendered that car in that condition with trash and old food in it. "Clean"...really? I would love to have a Civic, but yeah it is more expensive and that is a deal maker and breaker. People who buy Sentras cannot afford a Honda. People how buy a Honda can't afford a Mercedes, and so on. It's easy to say, but not easy to do. I wanted a new car I could take care of as one owner, and the Sentra was it. I like it very much and don't intend on replacing it. I love not having a car payment and owning a car only I have sat in.
Nissan put out an unsafe car, not just junk, that will get you rear ended. Will randomly stop driving in traffic and you can press the gas and not move.
I have a 2014 center and I'll put in Gary. That's not running. I mean, it comes down and called the zombie, but if I'm trying to get it, don't go. You're a win when you put it in your fine. No problems don't have to work. We'll connect probably be.

Because you get someone to change the oil the right way
Have owned many Nissan’s including 4 Rogues and 2 Muranos, all with CVTs, luckily never had a problem.

(Switching the trans fluid and filter next oil change as well)
Definitely get that fluid changed. Ive seen them go +150,000 miles with proper maintenance.
At what point is it too late to change the transmission fluid? Would it be worth switching out the fluid at 75k?
@@Frxnandoyeah service it no matter how late
42k that thing still pretty knew. I’m just now getting trans problems at 140k miles
Easiest maintenence prevention I've done with my Sentra is I change my CVT Fluid every 30k miles. It's easy and will prevent it from failing.
they have a sealed transmission how?

I fixed a few of them transmissions on altimas 2012-2016 just by changing the two oil filters and oil. And worked fine
Those cvts seemed relatively cheap to repair to me. Has to be cheaper to rebuild than to replace unless you're getting a steal of a deal on a replacement.
The main problem with these cvts is the parts to rebuild usually cost so much plus labor it’s simpler and easier to just swap them out.

What was the mileage?
You need a Nissan Consult III plus to program the TCM, the other option is carry over the ROM chip from your old transmission and reset your trans adaptations with a Autel/Launch/Snap-On scan tool.
Nice video. I have a b15 2002 with low miles I had sitting for a long time. It was my first car. It gave me headaches throughout the years but she’s a rock all in all.
I have a modern new suv to enjoy with my family but I wanted to buy a used 2012 sentra 2.0.
Do you think the b16 sentra 06-12 are good sentras?
I hear most all complaints are linked to the b17 sentras from 2013-+
Stick with your B15, the b16 were cvt's now if you find a b16 or 17 with the manual transmission they are rock solid.
Is the “rumble strip vibration” a sign of a bad transmission? I have a 2017 Sentra with 66K miles on it
Yes it is. Sorry to hear about your troubles with such low mileage. Misfires can also cause that issue but its more often the transmission on the nissan sentra.
@@justcallmeeddie1 will the transmission oil change help? I read that in a lot of Nissan forums.
@@justcallmeeddie1 I just want an honest answer at this point. 😭.. I have the same problem mentioned here and I've had ppl tell me that it's no use changing the fluids (Nissan dealer tech said this) and he was the 2nd person to say that with the mileage I have (130,000) that it could risk the car not running anymore after the change. Another Nissan tech over the phone recommended the transmission fluid drain and fill, as it should be done every 30 to 60,000 miles or so. More ppl say that more than likely won't fix the problem. My question is, if it's recommended every 30,000+ miles, then why is it a risk to do so at this point.. even if it wouldn't stop the "rumble strip vibration".. *great description btw*.. Wouldn't it still be good to have it done? And couldn't it potentially lessen or eliminate the problem? I just think ppl want me to leave it with them to diagnose, which costs in itself, only to give me the highest quote possible and leave me with only the options of rebuilding or replacing the trans. If you could.. a little advisement regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Thx in advance
My son has a 2013 Nissan Sentra with 97K miles. Nissan dealer just told me it would be approximately $7400 to fix the transmission with a 12 month/12K warranty. Does it make sense to fix? HELP!
Yes this does make sense. These transmissions aren't cheap and dealerships charge high prices for their repairs. My advice is to find a smaller independent shop to swap it out.
Thank you so much for your advice!!💕
One more question. In your opinion...approximately what would be a reasonable price?
I bought a 2013 sentra about a week back for 1,500. Transmission needs replaced it'll cost about 2,500 for it and probably 700 for labor maybe lower, but it's way cheaper buy one new and have someone swap it out :)
@@GregoryStevens-g3pThank you! Found out there was a recall that ended in 2019🫤
Thank you Eddie for a great video. It sure is informative and just right where it counts.
Thank you for this video it helped me so much I’m in the same situation with my Nissan 2015 :(
When do you recommend doing a tranmission fluid change for a 2020 Nissan Sentra S 28500 Miles?
Asap. I do a drain and fill once a year.
Did changing the alternator fix that loud noise you showed earlier in the video when looking under the hood?
Yes it did. Bad bearing in the alternator
Replacing a CVT may sound like the thing to do but they can be $8000. Right about now my 2017 Rogue is not worth a lot more than that. No, I don't plan to replace the transmission if it fails. Pay that for more of the same, heck no! Make no mistake, they are great when new like a lot of vehicles are. It is when they start accumulating miles they wear out and become sluggish. The difference is that some Nissans fail sooner. I heard of one failing with 20,000 miles. Never mind it was still under warranty. It just shows how crappy they really are. You would not want one of these when the warranty is over.
Would a new valve body and stepper motor fix the tranny issue ?
Help me ma Nissan sentra 2014 is making noise and all garage are telling me to change gear 😢 but t its expensive am asking can this problem be solved by repairing ? Or it cant be repaired?
One thing I noticed is there is what looks like an outside temp reading in the middle bottom left of the dash. On my Sentra I don’t have that or if it’s on it just shows -22f. How do I fix this?
Part of the issue with these Nissans is the deaker. One will say serivice the trans at one mileage, another a different mileage and another will say there is no fluid service for that vehicle. Manual says "check the fluid" at a certain mileage, manufacturer has no dipstick to si thst with...but they will sell you one on the Nissan parts site.
Change the oil every 5000 mls with synth, service the CVT by every 60K mls and decrease that interval by how hard the vehicle is driven (heavy foot, hard accels, heavy weight, towing).
Nissans are cheap due to cheap parts. Cheap parts require better care (be careful removing that intake hose when checking the sir filter) and maintenance.
I have a 2018 Nissan Sentra and when I accelerate it sounds loud and I don't feel that the changes are made fluidly, this has to do with the transmission, right?
I bought a new2007 Nissan Sentra with the cvt trans. I broke three transmissions before it hit 50k miles.. Nissan told me they wouldn’t replace another trans. and I traded it in the next day. Most of my driving was highway so that should have made it easier on the cvt. I will never buy another vehicle with a cvt, not even a Honda. They have had problems too.
Don’t service them? It states right in the owners manual all you have to do is read it. Service it every 30 k . So many run the shit out of these cars. They are economical not a sports car. Inexpensive car, with people not taking care of them. Then cry when they break look at the inside of that car? You said clean , there’s NOTHING clean about it . The inside was taken care of as well as the mechanical.
I agree Service them every 30k. It's the dealerships that tell consumers that not Nissan engineering per say. You're right people drive these cars into the ground and they we designed for economical driving but Nissan takes advantage of that by giving these cars weaker transmissions than the later models so they can sell more transmissions and new cars.
30,000 miles for a $300 dollar job, it was $369 for me cause they quoted me the old price. The hell with that give me a regular automatic transmission or I will learn to drive stick shift. CVT are trash and do not have a good lifespan, 200,000 if you baby the thing.
They are junk. Doing the fluid change does not guarantee they will not fail. We maintained ours and did changes and it ahit the bed at 116000 kms. Rest of the car is mint but replacing the transmission is half the resale price. Will never buy another Nissan
Is Nissan still using the JatCo?
@justcallmeeddie1. How did you program the TCM?
How do you like that solus edge
Help me. Nissan Versa 2012 year. I just changed the cvt oil along with the filters. Traction occurs when the speed is 100-120 km/h. Sometimes it happens at a lower speed. What spare parts are you saying to change. Cvt repair is very expensive here.
it might be ur clutch disk depends on the oil u took out of it was dark black then u should have put it back as it has all the materials from ur cvt mainly the clutch disk and now that u put new oil in and flushed out the oil oil with the material in it ur cvt might slip. from cvt owner to cvt owner accelerate ur car slowly and maintain a certain range of speed don’t go from 30 to 60 then 60 to 30 continuously it will damage ur belt hope this helps 👍🏽 just slowly work ur way up and maintain that speed try to break smooth as well
I just noticed some noise this days. Nissan sentra.i don't know if it was the transmission or gear . 😢😢😢
Now that you took the bad one out, spin it and see if you can hear the sound. Or at least that is one way to test a part that you are not 100% sure is the one making that horrible noise.
By servicing every 30k miles what do you exactly mean by that? Change filter and change fluid?
I got a quote from Nissan how much it is for a new transmission and other things wrong with it. But how much would someone other than Nissan would charge to replace the Trans if I bought the Transmission at Texas, Houston? I'm at 98k miles and not ready for a new whip, lol.
Why even buy a remanufactured transmission just get another car and I bet it will be better than Nissan
Nissan has failed transmission simply
I have vibration when accelerating. I asked one of the mechanic and he told me I have to change the CVT transmission. Knowing that my transmission fluid is less than it should be.. What do you advise me.. refill the liquid or change the transmission
You can try to fill the transmission up to the proper level. If that doesnt help you need a transmission.
Those cars you mentioned all use a cvt.
Yes they do
I was thinking of buying a 2018 is the cvt weak in these years pls help ???
Yes it is. Common problem. Would suggest buying a toyota or honda instead.
I ve 2018 sentra ..in fact i used to change cvt fluid and filters every year ...inspit of that i see my car now loosing its power with shifting noise ..my advice to keep away from awful jatco transmission!
I used to have one of these. It seems like no matter how good you take care of it the transmission will still likely go out.
Transmission replacement 6000 BUCKS as of 2//222024 RIDICULOUS!!
How much was the transmission?
These transmissions are about 3,200 bucks at the dealer
I was just quoted $6000 to rebuild with new parts, replace pulley something, replace body something and catalytic. Does that sound right?
It includes part and labor. 1 yr warranty
Bought a 2017 sentra at 97k miles and transmission broke within 5k miles of owning it. Got it replaced and 5k later the new transmission broke. Shits trash
Anyone else catch how he said he would rather have a Honda civic, but those have a CVT too.
You have to change the fluid! Dealerships are scammers and you all still LISTEN to them. They are NOT sealed transmissions, the fluid isn't good for 100k miles, 60k miles and imo not even 30k miles! Change it every 20k miles!
When selecting from 40 to 60 some noise and slowgish.
How muck was the trans from Nissan
Price can vary but it's usually around $3200
A new transmission $3200 for a Nissan Sentra
I have been paying for step motor. Mine no ref at all
There is a recall on that Transmission towing free pick up the Nissan dealership has extended up 120 thousand miles. But any way this card are the worse sorry but here it goes THE BEST CAR IS TOYOTA PRIUS
hey man i just called for the warranty on the transmission. I am still unsure they knew what i was talking about cuz they just scheduled me in and didnt say anything lol... i have a 2016 sentra, with 83858 miles on it. Do you think theyll just fix it or replace it still? Does that car go up to 120k miles or is it 84k miles? If you dont know i understand, youre just the only comment talking about the warranty.
Hi, can they make cars transmission easy to fix belts so it's done the same day. Like easy as changing your alternator. Change a belt in transmission and your out the door. I had a transmission going out on a 2017 nissan sentra. Those cars are lemons. Lol "nissan"😮 I returned it back to the dealer. I still was making payments, stopped paying. I brought another nissan rogue. 2015.
I own a 07 Nissan Sentra cvt transmission and never had any problems lol
Catalysic?
i have a 2014 nissan sentra trans went out at 127000 they want 5000 to change it for a new one the dealer is the only one i found would change it out
Hey can I talk too you private I want too order a transimission

How much the cost of a brand new cvt transmission of anissan sentra 2015 model
About 3500 plus another 1,200 to install and another 200 to program.
@@justcallmeeddie1take the eprom out the old transmission put it in the new one you have to reprogram it
@HotSizzleTv. What is a eprom?
What is the problem with saying the price you paid? Neither you on this video nor the commenters want to say. All of you say say “new transmission cost me a ton of money” or “the alternator was $100 less” or “the remanufactured part cost me big bucks”. How about the parts totaled $1500 or the new transmission was $2000 or the alternator was $200 at Oreilly’s but $100 less at this place. This is true everywhere on every video and from people in the comments. Please say the price!!!
Spent all my money on this car, and now im living the reprocussions
Car is manky dirty you can tell whoever owned it didn't care for the car
Its basically a torque converter like the ones on a go kart 🤦😆
Exactly
Do you know how much cost a brand New or maybe rebuilt cvt transmission of a Nissan Sentra 2018? Please 🥲
Replacing mine next week 🚮💰
"Nice and clean", that was funny. That car is a disaster. I'd hate to see one you call dirty. I'm an auto detailer, but even if I wasn't, the first thing you see is a crooked mat. Not an owner that takes care of anything, that's so basic; tire pressure also. That's probably why the CVT went bad (and everything else); not taking care of it. I have a 2017 Sentra with 65,000 and you can't drive them like you do a conventional transmission. You can't drive at high speeds, you cannot pass with it, you cannot tow with it. you can't push the gas and expect the overdrive you get from a conventional transmission.
It goes 0 - 60 in about 3 months with only 124 HP and you must not try to change that. Drive it like you are 60, and it will be okay. Drive it like other cars and it will disappoint you. Change the oil regularly and check it before you drive it from whatever shop you choose to make sure they did it. I take mine to the dealer or do it myself.
I was lucky and they gave me a new CVT ($5200 in 2023) under warranty, although I didn't notice anything wrong with it. But now, I will basically baby it for the second half of its life. But that car in the video was driven hard or something and neglected. That's a lot to be wrong at the same time. I haven't put anything but a battery into mine and it looks showroom new. I would have been embarrassed to have surrendered that car in that condition with trash and old food in it. "Clean"...really?
I would love to have a Civic, but yeah it is more expensive and that is a deal maker and breaker. People who buy Sentras cannot afford a Honda. People how buy a Honda can't afford a Mercedes, and so on. It's easy to say, but not easy to do. I wanted a new car I could take care of as one owner, and the Sentra was it. I like it very much and don't intend on replacing it. I love not having a car payment and owning a car only I have sat in.
Nissan put out an unsafe car, not just junk, that will get you rear ended. Will randomly stop driving in traffic and you can press the gas and not move.
I have a 2014 center and I'll put in Gary. That's not running. I mean, it comes down and called the zombie, but if I'm trying to get it, don't go. You're a win when you put it in your fine. No problems don't have to work. We'll connect probably be.
❤❤❤Good job
CVT'S JUNK
I’ve planning to buy nissan sentra 2020 GCC 100k driven is it good to buy?
Hello
J ai une nissan sentra qui me fatigue la
Quand j’allume la voiture d’école normalement mais après quelques seconde elle perd de la force lors de l accélération en arrière comme en avant
J ai remplacer le joint dû poulie primaire mais avec sa je constate qu’il y’a une petite fuite sur la poulie mais je me suis dis que cela est normal
J’aurais besoin de votre suggestion
My 2014 nissan sentra sitting in my driveway since transmission went in Nov 23...Just waiting to hit the lottery & buy another vehicle 😅
Still waitjng or you were able to fix it?
You don’t have the ability to repair it because the design is so bad. I’m using that one next time.
I hate it when mechanics drive my car with those dirty gloves and not wipe it down afterwards...but good video
Sorry man. I try to clean up all cars when I'm done driving them.
That sucks.
