Nissan Sentra Transmission Problem: What You Need to Know 

Great video man!!!! Highly informative and very useful!

Thank you Eddie for a great video. It sure is informative and just right where it counts.

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.

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.

2020 Sentra SV 42K good daily commuter I love her can’t lie no complaints from me.. (Switching the trans fluid and filter next oil change as well)

Nice and clean ? Did I hear correctly..

❤❤❤Good job

By servicing every 30k miles what do you exactly mean by that? Change filter and change fluid?

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 have a Nissan Versa Note 2019, about 60,000 miles. Is thr 2029 model year liberated from the tranmission problems?

Thankfully my 2013 is still running good. Hope she can make it till tax time of next year…

@justcallmeeddie1. How did you program the TCM?

My handle 😂 fell off on my drivers side was covered under waranty😅

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 RU-vid, 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

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-+

How do you like that solus edge

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.

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.

Did changing the alternator fix that loud noise you showed earlier in the video when looking under the hood?

these cars are daily drivers, not for spirited driving and change fluid around 25K. Do not tow its amazing I see hitches on these cars and the Versas!

My Nissan Sentra 2014 has 178.700 miles, original transmission, alternator, and starter, replacing the transmission fluid every 40.000 lasts longer.

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.

I just noticed some noise this days. Nissan sentra.i don't know if it was the transmission or gear . 😢😢😢

Hey, what about a manual transmission? Could I avoid the problem of replacing the transmission?

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.

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?

I have been paying for step motor. Mine no ref at all

When do you recommend doing a tranmission fluid change for a 2020 Nissan Sentra S 28500 Miles?

Is the “rumble strip vibration” a sign of a bad transmission? I have a 2017 Sentra with 66K miles on it

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.

14 nissan versa has started to rev high,more than the usual. No other issues going on. Any thoughts?

When selecting from 40 to 60 some noise and slowgish.

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

Catalysic?

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 was thinking of buying a 2018 is the cvt weak in these years pls help ???

I’ve planning to buy nissan sentra 2020 GCC 100k driven is it good to buy?

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.

Do you know how much cost a brand New or maybe rebuilt cvt transmission of a Nissan Sentra 2018? Please 🥲

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.

Spent all my money on this car, and now im living the reprocussions

Those cars you mentioned all use a cvt.

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!

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

Transmission replacement 6000 BUCKS as of 2//222024 RIDICULOUS!!

Why even buy a remanufactured transmission just get another car and I bet it will be better than Nissan

My 2014 nissan sentra sitting in my driveway since transmission went in Nov 23...Just waiting to hit the lottery & buy another vehicle 😅

How muck was the trans from Nissan

Its basically a torque converter like the ones on a go kart 🤦😆

Hey can I talk too you private I want too order a transimission

CVT'S JUNK

How much was the transmission?

Car is manky dirty you can tell whoever owned it didn't care for the car

That sucks.

"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.

I hate it when mechanics drive my car with those dirty gloves and not wipe it down afterwards...but good video

You don’t have the ability to repair it because the design is so bad. I’m using that one next time.

Wait what? You say they got 48 mpg in the 80s?

How much the cost of a brand new cvt transmission of anissan sentra 2015 model
