I remembered once I went on holiday to mountain resort. I should have broken CVT when parking car full of luggages and extra weights of stuffs on the hill resort but I didn’t. I luckily used handbrake first before putting to park gear. The UA-cam mechanic is my awesome teacher. Thank them a lot.
Good explanation! However the truth is is you don’t drive aggressively AND change your fluid every 15-20k miles then these transmissions will last for 200k+. The problem is most of the damage occurs at initial acceleration and that creates a lot of heat which degrades everything inside including the fluid. Cvt are not meant to be driven hard. So ease up on the gas pedal when accelerating.
Great video, your recording and explanation is 10/10, other creators miss actually including showing the damage diagnosis (working on a demo trans) and also skip telling us what the small pieces are/do as if we all already know…. You manage to accomplish these in a captivating way, thank you!!
Nailed it. These transmissions need regular fluid changes. The fluid has rubber in it and keeps the pulley from slipping. When the fluid wears out the metal belt slips on the pulleys.
Very Nice Job in explaining a CVT Transmission quickly and thoroughly! I have to agree with you on the heat of the fluid did damage to the clutch pack. It looked burnt and so did the case from the back side before you split the cases. I don't know how much fluid the CVT trans holds but anything under $100 for 20,000 miles would be fine! Thanks for the Video!!!!!! Awesome!
I wouldn't even trying to fix a transmission,your voice in the way you express how CVT transmission works and breakdown. Just caught my attention. I just watched the video for the hell of it..
Awesome video bro!!! Simple and on point!!! I was looking for a video on the Nissan CVT Transmission for a Bluebird Sylphy KG11 MR20 which threw a P0868 DTC. Through your video atleast I now know where the Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor is located as well!!! Keep up the good work brother!!!
This is the best explanation of a Nissan cvt transmission. You are a natural at teaching. Like a good salesman can sell anything, you my friend are an excellent teacher and you would be great at teaching anything. Thank you.
My ex wife has a 2019 nissan with a bad tranny. Dropped the oil pan and metal was in the pan. This guy has the best video i have seen with info on this cvt tranny. Very well explained.
What model? I have a 2021 Altima that has issues and is hanging on by a thread but the dealership won’t do anything until complete failure or until the warranty expires.. which ever comes first.
@@danielhamby9448 2019 nissan rogue. Try going to a shop and ask them if they can say there was broken metal in the tranny and it won,t shift. They might be able to get their money on the repair and you get the repair. I dropped the tranny pan and did not reinstall the pan gasket nor the fluid. Called several shops willing to repair the rogue on the nissan warranty. But the ex wife had it towed to the dealer to get the free repair anyways.
Great explanation....i had a 2013 sold it with 63000 milles no problem really comfortable car Currently have a 2014 pathfinder platinum wich come from factory with a transmission cooler is at 62000 milles it jerks at 20mph if the rmp is in the low end if is higher rpm it does not do it thinking on replacing valve body it drives good other then that i even tow with it ...and also have a 2016 73000milles nissan just installed a new cvt under warranty
Thanks the break down of the cvt. Ive always suspected that the coolers size and efficiency was to blame. Simple parts for them to have their part supplier upgrade. But they choose not to .....to knock you over the head for 8-10k at dealer ship. Id take the the interchiller cooler set up from q50 3.0t and modify for the Maxima and Altimas. And change fluid every 9mos. Amsoil cvt trans fluid as well. Suspect Nissan made fluid to fail suddenly as well lol it
I changed it first at 120,000 miles, then 200,000 and 270,000 miles it has 293,000 miles on it now. All I do is I buy original Nissan CVT fluid and bring it to Valvoline. They have a CVT flush for $199 that takes all the dirty fluid out, then cycles the new one 3-4 times and filter more dirt out. After the flush the CVT runs strong and does not slip anymore.
Me too. 2015 mitsu, jatco. Talk about stressin out . Its been my only car for work and bought it few months ago and even then had a whining in the torque converter. The dealer wont help and warranty covered 70% of it, was stuck with a car payment , mechanic costs and no way to work. Gettin a reman cvt installed , hopefully with regular changes it will go another 70000
Excellent video. I have heard that Nissan has had more trouble with their CVTs than other manufacturers such as Honda. Is that true? If so, why? Thanks for posting the video.
Thanks for the work and explaining it. I think the oil cooler is not efficient enough for this transmission. It's either the oil should go through radiator, or coolant has to flew inside the transmission. The actual small heat exchanger won't be able to remove heat efficiently from the oil.
I have a 2016 Altima that has the CVT8 and there is nothing wrong with these CVT's. Yes they have issues like most other transmissions but if you take care of them they will last. Like @Boss Automotive said, heat is the biggest issue. Next would probably be that Pump Flow Control Valve which I think is due to the fluid breaking down due to the overheating issue. Nissan uses this fluid deterioration number to determine when to change the fluid. This number increases whenever the fluid goes over 90°C. You can use a ELM327 Bluetooth OBD2 scanner along with the CVTz50 app to monitor temps, pressures, and see the codes. Also install an aftermarket trans cooler to keep temps under 90°C when it's hot. I used a Hayden cooler. Another thing is to do a D&R on the CVT fluid at minimum 30k miles. I will be doing mine annually which is about 20k like Boss suggests. Oh, and DON'T drive it like an ape! :) I drive pretty aggressive and have had 0 issues since adding the cooler and changing fluid every 20k. I also quit using the NS-3 and switched to Castrol CVT fluid as it is NS-3 rated, works great. There own TSB (NTB15-084b) says "NS-3 CVT fluid or equivalent", look it up. Do this at your own risk however.

Thanks for the detailed video my brother currently giving a go to 2015 civic cvt I actually love design of it just having trouble sourcing 44mm socket to remove the nut to the secondary main bearing has some play have to source one NA completely destroyed belt ready to get it together
thanks for the video! do you happen to know if that pressure relief valve in the oil pump going bad can cause it to go into limp mode by perhaps overheating the trans? mine is losing all power once it warms up, tons of trans codes, definiatly a trans issue, seems like it gets stuck in 6th gear once it reaches operating temperature, once it cools down the trans shifts fine
You must connect up an auxiliary transmission cooler in front of radiator.The factory units are built into the Rad and are pitifully small.Heat kills the units,so get the unit to pull down transmission operating temperatures.One of the best transmission experts near me told me,that heat kills the bulk of cvts or traditional autos
Great video, I am about to install a transmission cooler on my altima 2008, I really hope it helps and I rather change the oil every 2000 miles, why not, it cost only about 20 dollars if you do it yourself.
I purchased an new 09 Sentra By the grace of God it had 200,000 miles on original cvt. It went into limp mode three times in 11 years we did the trans cvt maintenance every 30000 sold it last year for $900 good riddance never get any type of CVT garbage.
I don't really know anything about cars or engine and stuff but you explained it in a way that I could understand. Was considering Nissan but ohh well let me look at other brands xD
Just came across your channel. Very informative. I subscribed and will be checking out more of your videos. Hopefully you are still posting car videos.
Great video. I am replacing the CVT valve assembly on a 2009 Nissan Murano. The new step motor rod is not extended as far as the old step motor rod. There is a control arm hook that needs to be connected from one end to the step motor rod and on the other hand to a level inside the transmission. I want to make sure that once I install the CVT valve assembly, the other end of the control arm hook is connected to the level inside the transmission. Do I need to power the step motor to extend the threaded rod so that the control arm can connect to the level inside the transmission? or the car computer will reset the step motor rod automatically ?
2012 rogue, CVT sudden drop of rpm and acceleration while driving then kicks back up. Only does it on initial take off and especially on an incline. Fluid change helps for about 150 miles and issue comes back. No check engine lights or codes. 59k on rogue but been doing it since around 35k. Fluid change did get rid of awful whine noise when hot. Nissan says nothing wrong. I disagree since I have two other nissan’s with similar CVT and they have no issues. Any suggestions. My thought is high pressure release valve on pump since if you lightly accelerate and slowly let off the gas peddle it doesn’t act up.
If transmission has too much fluid it will whine, when hot. When it whine it’s mostly because the fluid is aerated, there’s a special way to check the fluid it’s base on the temperature
Hi my car is a 09 Altima only goes forward 20 miles and hour no reverse, I took the valve body off change the stepper motor twice, change the valve body again for a 2012 transmission and still driving 20 miles and hr, can you give me any advice besides changing the transmission for a new one😢?
my 2013 Sentra SL started jerking and rpms go up and down when accelerating. it has 69,000 mi. never done a tranny fluid change. Would it help to change filter and fluid now? or is it a gonner?
I should’ve bought the KIA Soul. Our 2011 Cube trans-CVT rebuilt cost $3500. Never again any type of CVT garbage. Also, it was serviced every 30,000 miles and failed at 106,000 no warranty was available for 2011. Too late now but the old CVT was shifting fine & reverse with a rumbling sound coming from the bottom of cvt. This makes me believe it was a bearing but all trans shops & Nissan dealer said it was a complete failure? So they can sell you a rebuilt big bucks?
I just subscribed and I have one quick question my 2012 Sentra cat runs drives and shifts but it makes a him that gets louder the faster you go I feel it is a bearing but do not know which potential one I’m mechanically inclined the question is is it worth trying to replace parts or buy a used good one they appear to be around the same price what do you suggest thanks for taking the time to read and look forward to hearing what you think
Which Nissan vehicle is this CVT from? I have a 2014 Murano LE AWD. The transmission started acting up today. It wasn't engaging from a full stop properly but at highway speeds it was running okay. I think it may have gotten too hot as it was pretty hot today.
Bro awesome video and love the background music.. I have a nissan versa sv where the transmission won't do nothing I change The oil but it'd still same put a scan tool on give me a code that the one of the solenoid stuck open think it's solenoid A.. still haven't look at it yet...but wats ur thoughts
My 2012 altima has 133K on its odometer. Never changed the cvt fluid. I am little worried watching all these cvt failure videos. I heard something the if you haven't changed the fluid and it works well after all these miles, it is better not to change the fluid. Is that true?
@@mathaithomas3642 30,000 miles. Problem is the cooling system is terrible inefficient and fluid gets it shit rocked. Some people even install auxiliary coolers just for the CVT.
@@bossautomotive7786 one year? I looked it up, and said every 30 to 60K the transmission fluid should be changed, I had my 2012 nissan Altima since August 2020, got it from a dealership in Melbourne, and I just had my transmission fluid changed just a couple of days ago, luckily for me I found out the CVT in my vehicle was still brand new in good condition, at least the guys at AAMCO told me, like a newer cvt model, still good thing I decided to get the fluid changed, but I was assuming you were supposed to have it changed every 6 months, so I thought!
It's suspected that a problem with the vehicle's cooling system is making the CVT transmission unreasonably sensitive to heat. The temperature of the cars transmission fluid is controlled by a small cooler as opposed to a radiator and it's not regulating the temperature of the fluid responsible for lubricating the parts in the transmission. Should a car overheat and go into "fluid protection mode" transmission performance will be reduced and as a result the driver may experience trouble accelerating, vehicle shaking or jerking and or complete failure of the CVT. Is a possible solution more frequent coolant changes? I'm doing that to just play it safe. What do you think?
That was a really good simple explanation. Question... is this the same issue with all other CVTs? I have friends with Ford Fusions and they needed a new transmission between 50k-65k miles. So I'm currently looking for a car without a CVT.
The Ford CFT30 (ZF import crap) is a piece of junk. I worked for a transmission remanufacturer and was tasked with bringing the Ford CVT line to a close. They were done with the hassle and Ford has effectively wiped their hands of it. You can't even find parts for it anymore.
@@mspeir Wow. So you've seen it first hand. You should do a UA-cam video on the Ford CVTs! I've only seen the anger from my friends talking about their Fusion CVTs.
Bro thx for the info... I have a 2011 maxima w 90k miles. It seems to run and shift fine.. however I got a transmission code I forget what it is.. the only light on the dash I’m getting is trac control. It’s confusing but should I be concerned? Any thoughts. This issue has been going on for over 6months without any noticeable changes. I look forward to reply.
Save your wallet fix the code & sell car! My son has an 2011 Cube $3500 for rebuilt transmission. So far at 40,000 it’s good no problems but I don’t trust it. failure is Eminent get rid of it before Trans fails.
Even if you change transmission fluid regularly how does it help with overheating? Because even you travell long journeys still they start limiting your speed to 100mph and stay to that limp mode. What is the remedy for their overheating problems.
May know your I'm living in vancouver and i have a nissan rogue 2009 but the problem the cvt transmission you can reverse put into drive it move but no power so you have shop in vancouver canada I'll bring my car for you to fix.
Wow! Great job on explaining the workings. You obviously know what you're doing. If I lived near you I'd be taking my rig to your shop. Just had Nissan rebuild my tranny - fortunately under warranty. 60,000 miles and it went bad. Nice that so many other owners levied a class action suit. Would you recommend adding a transmission cooler? Thank you for this great vid.
So every 5th oil change change the cvt fluid? How frequently do the filters get changed? Is there an additive. That can be added to the fluid to help lubricate and keep the temp down? Should an external fluid cooler be added to help keep the fluid cooler?
I have a question on this type of transmission(cvt) I recently got a code p2765(input turbine speed sensor B circuit. I had it towed to Nissan and they told me I need a transmission. They couldn’t tell me why I need it, just that when ever they get that code. That indicates that the transmission is bad and need replacement. I brought the car used and first thing I changed was the engine oil and transmission oil and filter, Until one day this week I drove to do my shopping and some errands. Parked the car and like 4 hour later I’m heading out again. The vehicle started but it won’t grab any gear. Before this I didn’t get no noise, check engine light, lost of power. For what I read on Google and seen on UA-cam. It’s a input speed sensor. I’m just wondering what is you opinion on this matter.
A nissan versa with 135k miles on it and i dont really know when was the last time the trans oil was changed but the engine oil was low and pretty dirty so im guessing the trans oil hasnt been touched at all what do yall think should i leave it alone until it gives me problmes or change it now?
Hey mate, love the video, got a question, I have a Nissan CVT and it feels like it slips for a few secs about 30mph (engine Flare) I am going to pull it and strip it down but for this symptom, what should I be looking out for?
Some slipping are normal, I don’t think to the extent where the engine flare. Check fluid level, I have had one where one of the pulley was getting stuck
About 3400 to 5000 replacement for Nissan Rogue depending on the mileage of the replacement. If you are lucky you may only need a valve body replacement.
Well done! I own a 2013 Sentra and this helps a lot. Changing the fluid and it looks dark even after change. Is that normal? About 3 quarts came out...and did it again...is that enough. The car only has 46,000 on it. Will using the L ow gear downhill be a problem on this gearbox?
This guy knows his stuff. Very good explanation , not too scientific so I can understand

Fluid change helps for about 150 miles and issue comes back. No check engine lights or codes. 59k on rogue but been doing it since around 35k. Fluid change did get rid of awful whine noise when hot. Nissan says nothing wrong. I disagree since I have two other nissan’s with similar CVT and they have no issues. Any suggestions. My thought is high pressure release valve on pump since if you lightly accelerate and slowly let off the gas peddle it doesn’t act up.
If transmission has too much fluid it will whine, when hot. When it whine it’s mostly because the fluid is aerated, there’s a special way to check the fluid it’s base on the temperature
Hi my car is a 09 Altima only goes forward 20 miles and hour no reverse, I took the valve body off change the stepper motor twice, change the valve body again for a 2012 transmission and still driving 20 miles and hr, can you give me any advice besides changing the transmission for a new one😢?
What would a p1778 be? The same? Nice video man! Ima try and see if replacing the stepping motor would help
that is a exellent video ,thank yo a lot
Like my mini bike has torque converter,belt drivin, snow mobiles same thing 👍
Bout time you share some of the knowledge 💯 👌
Excellent video, thanks!!!
my 2013 Sentra SL started jerking and rpms go up and down when accelerating. it has 69,000 mi. never done a tranny fluid change. Would it help to change filter and fluid now? or is it a gonner?
With all the things that can go wrong in these CVT transmissions, I can see why they cost so much. Alien technology.
I should’ve bought the KIA Soul. Our 2011 Cube trans-CVT rebuilt cost $3500. Never again any type of CVT garbage. Also, it was serviced every 30,000 miles and failed at 106,000 no warranty was available for 2011. Too late now but the old CVT was shifting fine & reverse with a rumbling sound coming from the bottom of cvt. This makes me believe it was a bearing but all trans shops & Nissan dealer said it was a complete failure? So they can sell you a rebuilt big bucks?
I just subscribed and I have one quick question my 2012 Sentra cat runs drives and shifts but it makes a him that gets louder the faster you go I feel it is a bearing but do not know which potential one I’m mechanically inclined the question is is it worth trying to replace parts or buy a used good one they appear to be around the same price what do you suggest thanks for taking the time to read and look forward to hearing what you think
Just one thing, you said that there's nothing wrong with the clutch pack. So,what was wrong with that transmission. Where can I get parts?
Which Nissan vehicle is this CVT from?
I have a 2014 Murano LE AWD. The transmission started acting up today. It wasn't engaging from a full stop properly but at highway speeds it was running okay. I think it may have gotten too hot as it was pretty hot today.
2014 Nissan Sentra.
Bro awesome video and love the background music.. I have a nissan versa sv where the transmission won't do nothing I change The oil but it'd still same put a scan tool on give me a code that the one of the solenoid stuck open think it's solenoid A.. still haven't look at it yet...but wats ur thoughts
Check valve body first. Mostly internal damage
My 2012 altima has 133K on its odometer. Never changed the cvt fluid. I am little worried watching all these cvt failure videos. I heard something the if you haven't changed the fluid and it works well after all these miles, it is better not to change the fluid. Is that true?
It should be change every 50k
I would change the transmission fluid, at lest once a year.
@@bossautomotive7786 Thanks
@@mathaithomas3642 30,000 miles. Problem is the cooling system is terrible inefficient and fluid gets it shit rocked. Some people even install auxiliary coolers just for the CVT.
@@bossautomotive7786 one year? I looked it up, and said every 30 to 60K the transmission fluid should be changed, I had my 2012 nissan Altima since August 2020, got it from a dealership in Melbourne, and I just had my transmission fluid changed just a couple of days ago, luckily for me I found out the CVT in my vehicle was still brand new in good condition, at least the guys at AAMCO told me, like a newer cvt model, still good thing I decided to get the fluid changed, but I was assuming you were supposed to have it changed every 6 months, so I thought!
I have already tried these models (jf015e) unfortunately does not fit
It's suspected that a problem with the vehicle's cooling system is making the CVT transmission unreasonably sensitive to heat. The temperature of the cars transmission fluid is controlled by a small cooler as opposed to a radiator and it's not regulating the temperature of the fluid responsible for lubricating the parts in the transmission. Should a car overheat and go into "fluid protection mode" transmission performance will be reduced and as a result the driver may experience trouble accelerating, vehicle shaking or jerking and or complete failure of the CVT. Is a possible solution more frequent coolant changes? I'm doing that to just play it safe. What do you think?
I've heard buying a aftermarket cooler is better.
@@HackFeSt1 I've heard the same thing and I believe one mechanic at his shop here on UA-cam online promotes it.
Hello, please help me? Which models automatic transmission does chevrolet spark 1.2 engine 2014 have? So I need gear models?
That was a really good simple explanation. Question... is this the same issue with all other CVTs? I have friends with Ford Fusions and they needed a new transmission between 50k-65k miles. So I'm currently looking for a car without a CVT.
The Ford CFT30 (ZF import crap) is a piece of junk. I worked for a transmission remanufacturer and was tasked with bringing the Ford CVT line to a close. They were done with the hassle and Ford has effectively wiped their hands of it. You can't even find parts for it anymore.
@@mspeir Wow. So you've seen it first hand. You should do a UA-cam video on the Ford CVTs! I've only seen the anger from my friends talking about their Fusion CVTs.
very useful video thank you
Please tell me you're open and able to rebuild the transmission in a 2017 Murano?
Thank you, very informative.
Bro thx for the info... I have a 2011 maxima w 90k miles. It seems to run and shift fine.. however I got a transmission code I forget what it is.. the only light on the dash I’m getting is trac control. It’s confusing but should I be concerned? Any thoughts. This issue has been going on for over 6months without any noticeable changes. I look forward to reply.
Save your wallet fix the code & sell car! My son has an 2011 Cube $3500 for rebuilt transmission. So far at 40,000 it’s good no problems but I don’t trust it.
failure is Eminent get rid of it before Trans fails.
Hey chopperIN, what is the code?
@@bossautomotive7786 what to do if the p2859 code popped up n check engine light came on dash
Even if you change transmission fluid regularly how does it help with overheating? Because even you travell long journeys still they start limiting your speed to 100mph and stay to that limp mode. What is the remedy for their overheating problems.
Hey, Boss. I have a JX35, which cvt has a cooler in the wheel well. Can I add another cooler?
May know your I'm living in vancouver and i have a nissan rogue 2009 but the problem the cvt transmission you can reverse put into drive it move but no power so you have shop in vancouver canada I'll bring my car for you to fix.
Sorry, I live in Atlanta Georgia
Reminds me of a ten-speed bike.
Nice video what about ecvt for Toyota camry I have heard that they go for ever…
Wow! Great job on explaining the workings. You obviously know what you're doing. If I lived near you I'd be taking my rig to your shop. Just had Nissan rebuild my tranny - fortunately under warranty. 60,000 miles and it went bad. Nice that so many other owners levied a class action suit. Would you recommend adding a transmission cooler? Thank you for this great vid.
So every 5th oil change change the cvt fluid? How frequently do the filters get changed?
Is there an additive. That can be added to the fluid to help lubricate and keep the temp down?
Should an external fluid cooler be added to help keep the fluid cooler?
I wouldn’t used any additive, make sure you used Nissan NS fluid. External cooler dose help a lot. I would change the fluid ones a year.
@@bossautomotive7786 thx
what about the filters, how often?
Verry nice info.
I have a question on this type of transmission(cvt)
I recently got a
code p2765(input turbine speed sensor B circuit.
I had it towed to Nissan and they told me I need a transmission.
They couldn’t tell me why I need it, just that when ever they get that code. That indicates that the transmission is bad and need replacement.
I brought the car used and first thing I changed was the engine oil and transmission oil and filter,
Until one day this week I drove to do my shopping and some errands.
Parked the car and like 4 hour later I’m heading out again. The vehicle started but it won’t grab any gear.
Before this I didn’t get no noise, check engine light, lost of power.
For what I read on Google and seen on UA-cam.
It’s a input speed sensor.
I’m just wondering what is you opinion on this matter.
Any other codes?
A nissan versa with 135k miles on it and i dont really know when was the last time the trans oil was changed but the engine oil was low and pretty dirty so im guessing the trans oil hasnt been touched at all what do yall think should i leave it alone until it gives me problmes or change it now?
Change trans fluid and filter if it has one.
Hey mate, love the video, got a question, I have a Nissan CVT and it feels like it slips for a few secs about 30mph (engine Flare) I am going to pull it and strip it down but for this symptom, what should I be looking out for?
Some slipping are normal, I don’t think to the extent where the engine flare. Check fluid level, I have had one where one of the pulley was getting stuck
@@bossautomotive7786 thanks 🙏🙏💯
Tnks for imformation big boos
Where does the whinning noise normally comes from this transmission?
Hola! Con que cámara grabas? Saludos desde México
do you rebuild or replace with new trans. what is costs since i have rogue.
About 3400 to 5000 replacement for Nissan Rogue depending on the mileage of the replacement. If you are lucky you may only need a valve body replacement.
Best option is to replace with a new transmission. I would check with the Nissan dealer, the is a lot of recalls on the rogue
Damn bro you got this CVT thing down
If my Nissan Pathfinder has staring shaking when I drive 10-20 mph is my transmissions bad ?
Not necessarily, check tires balance
Well done! I own a 2013 Sentra and this helps a lot. Changing the fluid and it looks dark even after change. Is that normal?
About 3 quarts came out...and did it again...is that enough.
The car only has 46,000 on it.
Will using the L ow gear downhill be a problem on this gearbox?
Hey Vincent, I wouldn’t ever used the low gear, remember to used NS3 transmission fluid.
@@bossautomotive7786 Thank you so much again...will do👍
@@bossautomotive7786 What about Castrol CVT fluid? Can I use it for my Nissan Juke 2012 ?

What is the cost to rebuild?
