I bought a 2014 Nissan Versa and the transmission at 77,000 is now completely ruined and needs a new one The dealership is charging me $5,000 to fix it bc I am out of the warranty And if I fix it at an outside mechanic, the best price I found was $3,000 I am now in the market for a new car & am never buying a Nissan again But I’m glad yours was covered, I wish mine was, ive only had that car for 5 yrs 😩 Worst car EVER!!!! ...I would take RMs advice and get rid of it Look at my situation, I am barely seeing this now, $3000-$5000 in the trash

@smcdoug11 4 года назад

I sell new Nissans and I'm well aware of the CVT. It's a transmission fluid temperature reader that's not keeping the the fluid cool. Make sure you service it at the dealership so the technicians monitor it. The CVT wears out when the customer isn't aware that the temperature gauge has overheated and the transmission begins to wear out. It's avoided by not reving your engine in gear unnecessarily. Don't push the car to pass people aggressively. Service with the dealership and get a diagnostic every oil change. Diagnosis are free. What Scotty doesn't mention about the CVT are the benefits. CVTs save gas milage is the best yes but they also shift extremely smoothly. The ride in a Nissan is much more comfortable than any other Japanese car because of the CVT and the noise cancellation interior makes for less road and engine noise to. Nissan's push for innovative technology for a superior ride and they release new saftey and convenience technology before the other Japanese manufacturers. Stick with your Nissan, take car of it and service it well. Just like any other car!

@@scottsuem3384 The CVT doesn't just go out at anytime. There has to be wear and tear on it or mechanical failure. You also get warranty on the replacement too. CVT transmissions actually last a long time, but you need to do proper maintenance on it. A lot of people don't bother changing the fluid ever lol. Be happy you still have warranty too, as many people don't. I don't think it is the CVT itself that is the issue, it is the company that supplied it. Which is probably why Nissan still uses CTV.

VW/Audi does DCT very well, and they are wet clutch systems whereas Ford is dry clutch system. I knew about this, so I looked high and low and found the 5spd manual 2015 Focus. My last 2003 Focus 5spd manual lasted 166,000 miles on the original clutch and it was still going strong. Changed the fluid a few times and everything was peachy.

@3698s 5 лет назад

A few years a friend of me rented a Focus from Enterprise. That transmission was awful. It never shifted properly when going into a higher gear. Amazing how these auto engineers go to college and study engineering but cannot develop a transmission that shifts smoothly. This is not rocket science and they are not developing warp drive. Makes me wonder what they are really studying in college because it is not engineering . Nissan could probably care less about the CVT "problem". They will place the fault on the owner. Besides most lease the vehicle & after three years they do not have to bother with the CVT going south because it will end up being someone else's problem.

@GabrielIgnacio 6 лет назад

Mitsubishis tend to have more reliable CVTs as they don't stuff really torquey engines into their cars alongside the CVT. Lancers tend to only have about 150-160ish depending on whether you get the 4B11 or 4B12, likely the same case with the Outlander Sport as it's using the same Lancer platform and engine. You could likely add a turbo (RRM has an actual CVT approved turbo kit for auto Lancers) but the transmission would remove any gains from having it bolted on, not to mention you'd destroy the transmission even faster.

It IS called a CVT, but works great!

@americanparser 5 лет назад

The achilles heel for all CVTs is torque. The first CVT used in a passenger vehicle sold in the U.S. was the 1987-1994 Subaru Justy. But the Justy weighed just under 2,000 lbs and had a 1.2L engine cranking out a modest 73hp and 71ft/lbs of torque. As a result, the CVT in the Justy had no significant service issues, as I recall. I think the reason Toyota and Honda CVTs last longer (so far) is because they're offered mostly in Toyota/Honda's smaller FWD vehicles, where the engines don't have much torque, or in their hybrids, wherein electric motors bypass the CVT when moving the vehicle from a dead stop, thus eliminating the vast amount of torque strain that CVTs in larger non-hybrid and/or AWD vehicles experience. This relief greatly extends the life of the CVT. When CVTs are connected to larger vehicles with more powerful engines and/or AWD systems like the Nissan Rogue or almost any Subaru, the CVTs can't handle the constant torque load, so the belt/chains in them strip and can't grab the variable shafts and pulleys anymore, rendering the transmission useless. That is why, for the indefinite future, I can't see myself buying any non-hybrid vehicle with a CVT, especially since I live in a mountainous area, which is hard on any transmission anyway.

@crookback - Electric cars have a one-speed "transmission" - a reduction gearbox. So far I haven't heard of any of them giving trouble. After over a century of making reduction gearboxes, perhaps the engineer-bean counter war has been won in favor of the engineers. If the gears and bearings outlast the rest of the car, and the gear case doesn't fracture, maybe they are good at last? Bean Counter: "Can't the gear case be made of recycled beer cans? We could save 6¢ per unit." Engineer: "If you want warranty claims on broken gear cases, OK." Bean Counter: "Just so it lasts more than 5 years and 60,000 miles."

From what I've read, the biggest fault of the JATCO CVTs is that the metal belt shares the same oil with the gears, so when it goes, it takes half the transmission with it. I have to wonder why JATCO didn't aim to make this belt-chain-thing separately replaceable without the removal of the tranny; it could have had a removable link, like a bicycle chain, so it could be replaced from the bottom for $300, instead of necessitating a $6,000 transmission replacement.

My 2017 Altima has 295,000 miles ( I drive Uber) with first transmission and engine. CVT dont goes out. You buy Nissan CVT fluid and go to Valvoline and do a transmission flush every 60-80K or when it starts slipping. After the flush it runs strong and with no slipping. Valvoline put a hose into your dipstick and suck all the dirt out ask them to use your Nissan NS-3 fluid for newer ones. Valvoline runs 3-4 cycles and filter all dirt out. After that it runs very strong!!! If you don't changes it you don't have power from the traffic stop. Flush it and it will run fine. On CVT you could also change the valve body $200 remanufactured, from underneath the oil pan. The steel belt assembly can be taken from the side and be replaced.

The CVT in the Prius is totally different technology from the ones used in Nissan and Hondas. The eCVT in the Prius (and certain Fords) uses a planetary gearset to combine the output of the gas and electric motors. By varying the input from the electric motor on the ring gear, it creates nearly infinite ratios between the gas engine and the wheels. It's reliable tech and doesn't create that rubber-band sensation. It's also patented, so only Ford and Toyota can use it. Regular CVTs use steel belts and cone-shaped pulleys and vary the ratio by moving the belts on the pulleys. It's a friction-based mechanical system and not particularly reliable or fun to drive.

@Pete856 5 лет назад

Dead right, they either use 1 or 2 planetary gear sets (depending on model) and 2 motor/generators to convert the engine power into both driving force and electricity, which is feed to the 2nd motor. Depending on road speed, the amount of resistance created by the generator controls how much engine speed goes to the road and how much is turned into electricity. And of course, it can run without the engine for a short time too.

Got the new Civic, came with a CVT system. Not a bad transmission in my book, Honda and Toyota seem to be the only brands that make well-built CVTs nowadays. I’m happy with my car, and I haven’t had any problems so far, and that’s good enough for me.

Scotty , why doesn’t the metal belt assembly in a CVT just slip on the smooth oily surface of the pullies ? How does it have any traction to transfer the torque from the primary pully to the output pully ?

@MrPatdeeee 2 года назад

Because this channel owner did not answer you question; I will do that: 1. The tension of the belt on the pulleys; is hydraulically causing the belt to be extremely tight. I mean VERY tight. That then will help immeasurably; in resisting slipping. Also: 2. The oil is extremely different than most oils. Thus it resists slipping; yet is still slippery enough; to make the parts like bearing's etc, work just fine. So...The "variable pulleys and steel belt"; AND the type of "oil" all together; resists slipping by design; as long as the oil is changed every 30K miles. NOT 60K; let alone 80K as some of the owner's books says. For if not, slipping and damage is going to happen; and one of the major reasons that CVT's are a major problem. But not the only reasons of a myriad of other CVT's innate major problems. Thus, please never purchase a car with CVT. For no matter what you do; it is going to disappoint you sooner or later. In a word; the entire CVT system (from day one) is "garbage in and garbage out". Sad indeed. Hope this helps kind Sir.

What can you say Scotty about Honda Civic s cvt 2019??thank you sir

@henrywood2000 Год назад

I have a used 2015 Nissan versa SV with 152,000 miles. So far the cvt is ok. My advice is to drive conservative like any other automatic tranny.

When an auto company makes a transmission that copies my go-karts torque converter that used to go out every 3 years Yeah will never drive a steel belt trans ever

Hey Scotty I am a seasoned mechanic and the only problem is that I've had with CVT transmission is when somebody tows heavy trailers and motorhomes etc. and really puts them to the test if these transmissions are driven normally and serviced well I think they are very good transmissions and the designers have done a very good job

@fireblazer6661 5 лет назад

I know a few people who've had CVTs die at incredibly low miles, who drove them very easy, and never revved them or towed anything. CVT are garbage.

@@fireblazer6661 I know people who have had tranny's go out at low miles that are not CVT's. My husband has an F250 truck with only 90k on it and he had to replace the transmission last year. It's the Lariat top of the line truck but the tranny's are crap.
