NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION | why it fails and what you can do about it to prolong it's life

I have a 08 Altima 3.5SL. I have the CVT serviced every 60,000 miles. I have 260,000 miles on it, and so far no trouble. Just take care of your car, and it will take care of you.

Very logical and you address almost every Nissan CVT transmission issues. Great insight and keep it up your good work man! 👍😁

This man is describing all the problems I'm having with the only vehicle I have to get around 😔

Just had to have my 2016 Nissan Altima transmission replaced. 60,000 miles. It was starting to slip and jerk during high speeds or when hitting the gas. It was covered by the extended warrenty that Nissan put in place due to this very issue. They replaced the entire transmission at no cost. And I'm glad to see the comments about how the new replacement transmissions are not having so many problems.

Honestly thank you so much for this video. This was so helpful in explaining why my car was having issues. The mechanics didn't even tell me this when my car had trouble.

First video I’ve seen about this issue that addressed the issue and what you need to do to get it fixed. Great video!

This was the perfect explanation for my 2015 Nissan Altima. It starting to take a few seconds to shift into drive and reverse.

Thank you for all your efforts, you are very knowledgeable and yes we enjoy the video .. These combined videos really make a difference and give us lots of confidence .

The video was very imformative and you point out the problems these vehicles are experiencing. It helps us to identify and send back comments for advise. Thanks again.

I worked for Nissan and own a '13 Versa. Did my trans services every 25-30K miles, and my CVT still died at about 110K.
These transmissions are very known for failure, but they Nissan remanufactured transmissions are rebuilt with the updated parts and we hardly had any issues with them once replaced.

If you notice your cruising RPMs are getting higher than they use to be, it means the trans is starting to go out.

That is exactly what my Maxima does. This video helped tremendously. Thank you

Excellent video! Very informative and to the point. This kind of video is what makes the internet make sense. Your excellent knoledge about it will save thousands of dollars for anybody in need of an estimate for this type of repair. Thanks for sharing and God bless you.

2012 Nissan Quest started failing at 110k miles. At 117k I fixed the problem by getting a Lexus GX. Will never ever buy another Nissan

Thanks, Man!! You've answered SOOOO many questions for me, and saved me TONS of time!!! (And as a high school Biology teacher off for the summer that is having to work on his lovely bride's busted whip, I have a singular appreciation for every minute you saved me!)
Peace out, Bruh- and thanks a METRIC KILOTON!!!

I searched my problem on Google search and found your video. I helped your algorithm 😁 by liking the video. Stay happy my friend I appreciate the information in your video you’re very knowledgeable.

Thank you for the excellent tips. I recently bought a 2016 Nissan Altima and these tips will help me to get my car to run as long as possible.

Been there,bought 3 transmissions. Am done with Nissans!

I never knew about CVT transmissions until mine started going out. Now I see why many dealerships have rental Nissans in the parking lot at 40k mileage.

THANK YOU for making this video. Very informative and helpful! My Nissan just passed 100 thousand. I've been debating between keeping it or trading it. If nothing else, I know now how important is to keep up the maintenance on these vehicles. Great video.

This was the best video I have seen describing the transmission issues that myself and many others are having right now. And it was definitely tied into a broken radiator that had a slow leak for the longest of time that never produced the puddle on the floor. The car started shuttering and doing crazy things around the 93,000 mile mark (it now has 100k on it).

My mechanic determined that the computer, the ECU unit went bad and I spent $1,000 having that repaired last week... Most of the shaking went away, but then I found out my radiator needed to be repaired which was another $450.

After all that, when I shift into reverse or drive, the car still jumps forward and still makes crazy noises when accelerating and now my mechanic is saying that the transmission is failing and not to waste the money on it.

I will never purchase another Nissan vehicle ever again after this incident. I am driving a 2013 Nissan rogue that was gifted to me from a family member in 2019 and I barely got 5 years out of it..

I poured in a product called lubegard which thickens the viscosity of the new transmission fluid that I put in there which is a CVT transmission fluid, and it is helping a little bit but at this point I am just going to drive this car into the ground.

I'm hoping I can get at least another year or two out of it because I do not have the finances to replace this vehicle and I don't think anyone is going to take this vehicle off my hands with a known transmission issue for a decent price.

I was also under the impression that you never change the transmission fluid, which is clearly not true either and if you look at the manual from the Nissan rogue, you'll see they never mention replacing the transmission fluid either.

This is all the racket and they want your car to fail so you end up purchasing another one sooner than expected.

Lesson learned.
