I've never driven a CVT transmission car before, but every time I see that rev counter moving like that it reminds me of those dreams where you are trying to run really fast, but your legs are made out of lead.

@dw3403 Год назад

LOL. Reminds me of my exes big ole ford 150 from years ago. I rarely drove the beast but i did one day on the freeway and tried to pass a car that had finally gotten on my nerves. Something was wrong from the last time I had driven it. When I got home I asked him what was wrong with the truck? He said in a gruff voice. What do you mean? I said I tried to pass and all I got was a lot of noise. Sounded like I should have been passing but it took awhile. O, he grumbled and looked down. Its the carburetor.

@metalmike570 Год назад

CVT transmissions are really efficient though. For speed this one has a Sport mode and when I put it in that mode the little SUV was fast.

@Gorilla_cookie Год назад

Usually there is someone chasing you when that happens in your dreams. The fun part is where you wake up but you cannot move and you still see the guy chasing you. It’s called a nightmare.

@rickbateman2401 Год назад

The one huge benefit to a CVT is that if you pay attention, you can keep the engine in its power band and let the transmission catch up. My Honda accelerated faster if I keep the engine at about 3700 or so and let the transmission adjust as the speed climbs, than if I do what Scotty did here and wind it right out and force the transmission to make large ratio changes at one time. I’m sure he knows that too and was doing what he did intentionally but that’s not how I would drive MJ e if I wanted to pass someone.

@anaphylastiks Год назад

@greggc8088 Год назад

One thing most techs and people don't know about the Jatco CVT- It's got a hidden very fine material filter behind the cooler that bolts to the case and it stops up around 50K sometimes earlier for folks that drive aggressive. Since it doesn't get changed, it causes the trans to run too hot and fail a lot quicker.

@wesfields9322 Год назад

Who doesn't drive aggressive?

@bradleyevans8147 Год назад

Yes, I found out about the "Secret" Filter from a mechanic friend of mine. He actually showed me where it is located. The dealer said it didn't exist, until I showed them the picture of it. My mechanic stated that he knows of alot of people that have had very good luck with the JATCO trans. As I stated to Scotty many times, our 2008 Rogue had over 400,000 miles on it when we traded it. The second owner is now up in New york state, and has not had any issues with it at all...

@baytown3734 Год назад

I'm thinking it's strictly these Nissans transmissions he doesn't like. My sister bought a 2015 Nissan Altima in 2017. I warned her about these transmissions. She still bought it. Anyway, luckily she hasn't had problems. Soon after that she received a letter from Nissan, they extended the warranty on these transmissions after numerous consumer complaints . At least they did that for their customers.

@zacharytaylor8523 Год назад

Old transmissions where easy to drop and plenty of places can rebuild them The sin isn't unreliability but how difficult it is to repair. Maybe after a while more places will be able to rebuild CVTs but even then, it still won't help how difficult it can be in some FWD cars to even get the transmission out.

With these transmissions, you should not use them in the manual mode. If you use them that way regularly, the steel belt in the trans will wear into the pulleys at each pretend gear that it switches the pully ratio to. Also to get the most out of these terrible transmissions, you should change the trans fluid and filter every 30k miles religiously. (Just change it, don't flush it)

It always drove me nuts when I’d hear that manufacturers put shift points in CVTs. It completely defeats the purpose of keeping the engine at the optimal rev for the best fuel economy under those driving conditions. If I have to have a car that feels like I’m stepping on an orange every time I want it to get up and move, I had definitely better get the better fuel mileage. I don’t care that I can’t feel my Honda changing drive ratios, as long as it does.

CVT WARRANTY EXTENDED .. In Dec 2021, I bought a fully loaded 2018 Rogue SL (manufactured in Japan) with 22,000 miles. Now 7,000 miles put on it and no reliability issues. The original drive train warranty is 5 years/60,000 miles which of course includes the CVT. However in Feb 2023, Nissan sent me a letter that the CVT warranty was extended to 7 years/84,000 miles to "… address concerns … expressed by plaintiffs in class action litigation". Now I feel much better about the purchase.

I have a 2014 Nissan Altima with a 3.5 V6 and a CVT. it has 37,000 miles on it and it runs great. Before it was out of my used car warranty I paid the dealer $100 to replace a bad position sensor on the engine. For $2000 I extended the warranty for 6 years or 95 000 miles on the odometer. If I bring it to Nissan zero cost to repair. Elsewhere $100. Its 270 hp engine goes like a bat out of hell, great fun to drive, runs like new. It's faster than my 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC with a 290 hp 32 valve V8 Intech engine. So far very happy.

@savageriddle4126 Год назад

@markfischer3626 Год назад

@Savage Riddle The Altima with the 3.5 liter V6 works great. We tried Maximas and were surprised we didn't like them as much. You'll have to test drive them for yourself. I haven't driven much in the last few years. The Altima I bought is really fun to drive. I didn't consider a lower power model. I bought it for my sister and inherited it when she died. I've never bought anything less than a V8 for myself. I've never bought a foreign car for myself. Scotty Kilmer doesn't like the CVT transmission. I've had no problem with it so far but if I do I'm fully covered by a Nossan warranty up to 90,000 miles.

Watch out, I'm Dutch and CVT is a great invention. It can switch gear "in between fixed gears" so to speak. There is only one huge problem. It was designed for low power! And today there is also a freight truck version. Those are good. But the introduction to the States has gone wrong. It has. Heavy cars and a lot of power, they simply sold these CVT's too soon. I won't name the brands here, but the systems do not work the same, and only a few brands are good. Find out yourself. Another two notes. Workshops replace the transmission oil. But fun fact is, they must buy the brand one of those CVT neirds has found. There is a certain oil that is far better than the oil that the car brand tells you to apply. And that is weird. But it is true. FIND that specific transmission oil. It will save your belts. What you MUST know and what you MUST do, is using your brains in a traffic jam. Normal automatics have an automatic clutch, so you can do a full stop just pressing the brake. A CVT however is always pushing you, when in drive. During a full stop, you destroy your drive belts. Always switch a CVT in neutral, when waiting at a traffic light, when doing ANY full stop. For Americans, that was absolutely a problem, and 5 out of 10 negative CVT stories are their own fault. It must be. But I am convinced the car brands should have never promised that the CVT was good enough. The first generation simply is not strong enough. Yes, the CVT fans who always drive like my frugal granny, easy peazy, gently rolling, those keep the car working. But when you floor it every two minutes? Within a month the first belt snaps. Surprise surprise. Buy a newer car, from the right brand, and find a CVT specialized workshop, with a mechanic who KNOWS that tansmission oil. Or you are paying extra bills.

@buggyworld7723 Год назад

Both my dads 2014 Pathfinder and my moms Murano have bucking issues at low speeds. It was just a few months ago I was driving through a residential neighborhood doing 25 mph while barely touching the gas and I could feel it bucking and the RPM gauge indicated that. The tack was bouncing back and forth between 1500 and 1750 RPM. It’s like the transmission can’t decide on whether or not to drive in 2nd or 3rd “gear” (I know they don’t have gears). My 2014 Toyota RAV4 doesn’t do that driving that exact same way.

@procrastinatingnerd Год назад

The pullies inside are starting to stick and the transmission's are trying to find the ratio they want, but the pullies aren't cooperating because the bearing balls the pullies slide on are crumbling. They will fail soon, best to decide what to do with them while they still move. First try a fluid and filter change, but if nothing changes, or if there is a bunch of metal in the trans pan, they will need a overhaul.

@airfriedquadsbw 14 дней назад

The trans is weird. The rpm can be dropping while the car is accelerating. Or press the accelerator(not a throttle) and rpm doesn't.change, but car speeds up. This is because the trans ratio changes without a gear shift, and more rpm is not always needed in minor speed changes.

@JamesCopeland-i1j 23 дня назад

The thing about Nissan CVTs, is the "gear" simulation. It causes the belt to hold ratios more often than it should, so it wears bands into conical drive surfaces faster.
