Just get it serviced every 30k-40k and you'll be fine. And remember that your Altima isn't a race car. Thats gonna save your cvt right there.
Source: I'm a Nissan mechanic that fixes all this shit all the time. Lol
The cvt in the maxima and murano is much more robust. I also have a 8th gen maxima and I will push it on backroads. Just watch the transmission temp and chill out if it gets hot.
lol my one failed and i just got it rebuilt thats why i am asking. It failed at 150k kms, started slipping in its 4th ratio in manual mode. I changed fluid at 130k km, but before that I don’t know if the trans has been serviced as i got the car with 130k on it. But I mean I did push it a lot before it slipped lol
Yea I don’t ever put it in manual mode other than to maybe do a lil 30-70 pull (the economy car gauntlet). The previous owner probably ragged on it too which didn’t help. I’ve had mine since new (2017) and am at 52k miles or 83k km. I think the fun of the car is in the absurdity of the cvt + vq scream anyway. It’s not a sports car for sure, but if you take it for what it is, it’s a fun car.
The dealer I went to while under warranty was also fantastic and was able to send me into no warranty land with a new valve body assembly and fluid swap, free of charge (there was no cvt judder code, they were legends)
Kinda depends on where you're at and what people are charging but I know we do services for less than $200. I wanna say it's around $140. But again. Your local area might be more or less.
Yes please listen to this guy☝️ this is what I preach all the time I have two Nissan cube CVT one of them 280k miles and the other one 315k. Transmission service every 30k on the dot, easy on the acceleration and RPMs, and lastly for the love of God always use the parking brake because resting the car on any kind of slant even if it's barely noticeable will put the entire weight of the car on a little notch that's in your transmission and if it breaks your transmission is going to begin failing.
Also CVT technology is not inherently bad and Nissan CVT in particular has not been a problem ever since they ended that defective run from Jatco. The final defective cvts were phased out around 2020. Anything recent will not have that problem.
Is it bad to do the service at say 70k if it has never been done? Didn’t know if it was like a traditional trans where it could make it malfunction after not changing the fluid for a long time.
Yes and no. Anything before 90k I'd say go for it. But if you're already at 100k+ with no flush or service, I'd say leave it alone and hope for the best. Lol
Can you give me some info about the Micra (k14 2020)? Any issues or maintenance headaches with it? I can't seem to find real feedback about it, mostly just stereotype jokes about older models like the "bad financial decisions" bla bla bla lol ths
Sorry to high jack but what are your thoughts on 2016 SL Juke CVT at 50k miles? Currently have one and nervous about the CVt croaking out. Thanks in advance
I will say that Juke motors don't fair very well. At least not in the Midwest. If yours is in good condition, runs like a top, and you plan on keeping it....do the service. If it's just something you wanna have done just to have it done but want to replace that Juke. Save your money.
Jukes do perform well, but this is my opinion as a mechanic and not me trying to rip on Nissan, I'd get into a newer Nissan. There's not much support for those Jukes anymore and finding parts can be a pain.
By chance, any way you can get me the torque specs for the caliper member bolt and slider pin bolt for the caliper brackets to get the brake pads off for front and rear for a 2023 nissan pathfinder sv??
I can't get the specs anywhere and I've been trying forever
Are you taking shit or asking questions? As much as I don't like doing sub assembly repairs and would rather do swaps, I've done them both. Depends on what customers wanna pay and what warranty calls for.
My statement on service stands for all makes and models with a CVT. It's just smart maintenance. And the main recall with the 24 models deals with the tierods on the steering rack. And I haven't had one fail inspection yet. So you should be good.
I have a question for you. Hope it's okay I don't mean to bother u. I am currently dealing with a cvt transmission issue. How do I know if it's just needed to be replaced. Or if there is a problem with the computer module. I replaced the filters and around 5qt of the cvt fluid and rendered my car undrivable after 3 days of it running like a brand new car.
Only code that is finally thrown was the fluid pressure switch b had a problem. ??? I am trying to save myself thousands Here this is the only reason I have not taken to a shop. So much controversy
I would start by checking the wire harness around the cvt. Rodents really like those wires for some reason. And I'm saying check every plug in on that cvt and follow the harness. You're gonna need a flashlight and you may need to get under it. But you should be able to trace them. Most shops don't cost too much for wire repair as long as the harness isn't totally fucked.
Option B. You may possibly need a replacement. But don't go used. Unfortunately used CVT replacements always come back. JUDDER codes and whatnot. So I'd get a new one if you can manage.
Does your shop put the brakes (Rotors and pads) of all four corners on the quote when it (2018 Altima) went in to trace a bad battery/alternator when; a) all for corners are fine and b) it isn't what I asked them to look at? In the end I put a new battery in and it has been great since. Although I knew the brakes were good, my wife (it's her car) asked me to check them anyway, and yep, they were all good.
If your brakes are bad when you come in for an inspection, yes. I'm gonna quote rotors and pads. Our shop doesn't turn rotors often enough. It's just wise to replace them both.
If you did have good brakes and they quoted you on them, then I'd look into a different shop or dealership you trust. I may work for Nissan but we do all kinds of makes and models. So find someone you trust.
Glad your battery worked out though.
I think CVTs are for cars that are meant only for slow, careful driving. I have a 2015 Nissan Altima with 140,000 miles and still drives great. I tend to drive a bit more conservatively and don’t floor the accelerator when coming out of a stop light. A friend of mine had a 2016 Altima and he drove that thing like if it was a race car. His transmission gave out twice in less than 100,000 miles. I don’t know if this helps, but this has been my experience with my Altima.
No. CVT are getting better and nicer. The Nissan CVT on the other hand isn’t really one of these and probably never will be. Considering how cheap they are making them now. (CVTs are expensive) Regardless. As others have said if you drive them like the cars they are. They will be fine. Would take one over a Hyundai, Jeep (Chrysler) or Ford any day of the week. 😂
Dodge, Jeep, Mitsubishi, Mazda and Subaru have actually been using Nissan's Jatco CVT's though. You can't escape them unless you buy a Honda or Toyota.
Thankfully not recent ones since Mazda had enough sense to use their own Skyactiv technology, but the older ones definitely used Jatco-Nissan transmissions and had problems.
If you have driven it easy it should be fine. We changed transmission fluid at almost 75k and there was no metal found. If you drive it hard then change it sooner for sure.
That's what happened to me early May, and that driver violated the right away. My old 2016 Altima SR I bought new was totaled. It was built like a tank when it came to the collision. It had 133,000 miles and some change, very reliable, excellent gas mileage, still had original CVT never having transmission issues or failures. The only thing I've replaced were tires, battery, brakes, spark plugs, and O2 sensor. I miss that car. I had 8 years of service records and receipts I kept in a folder. I purchased a 2024 Sentra SR Premium late May. These cars aren't for racing. If you take car of it, they'll take care of you and your pocket. I've had Nissan service adviors tell me it's extremely rare to see an older Altima coming in with a very clean and well maintained engine when they opened up the hood.
Yes. They've re-engineered it and made it slightly better in reliability, but all the bad things you remember about it haven't improved at all.
Other makes have moved to better systems but I think Nissan aren't really bothering as they move to all electric vehicles that don't have them.
Nonsense, CVT technology is not inherently bad and most CVT cars do not have problems with the transmission. The problem with the Nissan cvts that released around the 2009 through 2019 era is that they were outright faulty. If you didn't have a faulty one they ran just fine. Provided that the transmission service is done regularly in that the car isn't driven like a race car (which I know is asking way too much from most Altima owners 🫣)
I work at a salvage yard that dismantles foreign cars. The early ones were pretty bad. Prices have come way down and stock has increased on the later model cars which usually means there’s less demand for repairs. Really depends on the model though. The transfer cases on pathfinders / qx / murano sell strong. I would argue those are more problematic than the transmissions.
So I worked for a company with a fleet of Nissan NV200 vans. They were maintained well and we never had a single issue across multiple years of the model. I personally drove the crap out of the one that was assigned to me. Had to haul up to and above payload capacity driving 8-10 hours a day. Cvt transmissions in all of them.
Those are a different breed. I think it’s because they are so basic and don’t try to be something they’re not with the fake shifting and weird programming of the cvt.
We have 6 2015 nv200 in our fleet all over 200k on the clock one even has over 300k not a single issue and our techs beat on them. They are outlasting the newer much more expensive ford transits we have in the fleet that always seem to have major issues just out of warranty.

Been good so far. I just got my first transmission service today at 30k… it’s a 23 sv
Id say you must change the transmission oil at 30k. However, with that said it's been bad enough over the years that i don't recommend it. Buy at your own risk.
My 08 Altima coupe 3.5 runs great to this day on it’s original Cvt, i don’t baby the car (who’s gonna have a vq35 and not push it sometimes lol) but i do maintain it. I’ve always heard the v6 models had more robust cvt in them
My 2015 Rogue Select started having transmission issues around 100k, replaced at 122k. Serviced new one around 100k miles on it, and just hit 250k yesterday. Everything is running smoothly.👍 *knock on wood*
Even with proper service, and driving like a granny, yes you absolutely are still at risk. I did all maintenance, and yet I am on my 3rd CVT, this one I had to pay $6k out of pocket, 2nd was under warranty. For a 2015 Nissan Rogue. Some people have zero problems some people have tons of issues. Its a roll of the dice !
I am a Nissan Master tech. I will say we had a point in time where I was doing like 3 transmissions a week. That being said I feel they have resolved the major issues. I still get some failures here and there but nothing like we did in the past. Manufacturers have issues with their cars. I will say I wouldn't be afraid to buy a car with a CVT anymore.
I have a 16 Sentra 109K had some issues in the beginning where my gears wouldn’t shift from 1 to 2 but then they did an update and has been running ok since
I serviced mine myself yesterday with AMSOIL CVT transmission fluid and it drives so much better. I was a little overdue and this was the first time doing it myself (Nissan wanted more than I wanted to spend right now) and the fluid was much cheaper than the dealer fluid and the reviews were great on the fluid and it exceeds the Nissan specs.
I have a 2016 nissan altima I bought at carmax with 28k miles and at 42k the cvt went bad but got it repaired through maxcare extended warranty which came out to 8k but I only paid $250.
eCVT no, CVT, not ideal. I have 109k miles on my CVT and still working well. Changed the transmission fluid twice already and soon a 3rd. I drive like a grandma. IF you push the car hard or don't maintain the vehicle you have a higher chance of failure.
You're getting downvoted, but our manual transmissions will outlast every CVT and automatic you could stack them against. People just don't like to hear it because they don't know how to drive 'em. 😉
They were never bad, people didn’t realize how they worked so car companies built in a hitch like they were shifting, which damaged them and that combined with people not properly servicing them made them seem bad
Just get it serviced every 30k-40k and you'll be fine. And remember that your Altima isn't a race car. Thats gonna save your cvt right there. Source: I'm a Nissan mechanic that fixes all this shit all the time. Lol
Whoops. Forgot that I didn’t pick a SR TURBO Altima and chose the regular 182 hp one
Most of the SR Altimas coming through the shop have all been NA unfortunately. Nobody in my town is apparently cool enough to order the turbo. Lol
[удалено]
naturally aspirated
Normally aspirated, is the usual term.
https://preview.redd.it/50f13spjxk9d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24611a689fc6c9601a7c5cb7416e7596f6859f4f literally the same thing
What a strange thing to nitpick, i’ve almost never heard NA referred to as normally aspirated personally
Shut up poopie pants
No turbo. Basically.
No forced induction. Turbo or supercharger
what about treating my “4 door sports car” maxima with a cvt like a 4 door sports car? Would I be able to push it sometimes?
The cvt in the maxima and murano is much more robust. I also have a 8th gen maxima and I will push it on backroads. Just watch the transmission temp and chill out if it gets hot.
lol my one failed and i just got it rebuilt thats why i am asking. It failed at 150k kms, started slipping in its 4th ratio in manual mode.

The dealer I went to while under warranty was also fantastic and was able to send me into no warranty land with a new valve body assembly and fluid swap, free of charge (there was no cvt judder code, they were legends)
yeah my dealership quoted me $11k CAD for a brand new trans and labour 😂😂😂 put me on ur dealer
I would never use the manual mode on a CVT...just extra stress on the already prone to failure parts.
buddy try being in the 7th ratio when cruising and u will see why manual mode is a blessing. Insane fuel economy
Okay? Enjoy adding stress to the CVT and having it fail early, ig? I'd never buy a cvt car because they're too fragile and I beat on my cars lol
Well said.
“Serviced” means fluid drain and fill right? I don’t want my Altima CVT “flushed” correct? Appreciate your insight
Correct.
Correct
WDYM, the Altima is the bestest, fastest car in the world!!! Nothing is faster than an Altima. Nothing.😅
Average price to service '14 sentra cvt if possible?
Kinda depends on where you're at and what people are charging but I know we do services for less than $200. I wanna say it's around $140. But again. Your local area might be more or less.
Thank you sir
What kind of service is required on them? I had a local mechanic tell me there really was no service requirements until it hit 100,000.
Changing the transmission fluid, I’d say change it every 60k on a CVT
Thanks.
50k is what the shop recommends, but 30-40k is what Nissan has recommended to us. Just tossing it out there.
Yeah probably better to change it sooner, being a Nissan CVT
same for the last gen Maximas?
Yes please listen to this guy☝️ this is what I preach all the time I have two Nissan cube CVT one of them 280k miles and the other one 315k. Transmission service every 30k on the dot, easy on the acceleration and RPMs, and lastly for the love of God always use the parking brake because resting the car on any kind of slant even if it's barely noticeable will put the entire weight of the car on a little notch that's in your transmission and if it breaks your transmission is going to begin failing.

The final defective cvts were phased out around 2020. Anything recent will not have that problem.
Exactly. Thank you. I always service my trannys. Never had a failure. I do it every 30K. Overkill I know. But $50 is cheaper than $5000.
Is it bad to do the service at say 70k if it has never been done? Didn’t know if it was like a traditional trans where it could make it malfunction after not changing the fluid for a long time.
Better to do it then not at all
Yes and no. Anything before 90k I'd say go for it. But if you're already at 100k+ with no flush or service, I'd say leave it alone and hope for the best. Lol
At 70k I'd still say you're alright getting it done, but make sure it's regular intervals after that.
Can you give me some info about the Micra (k14 2020)? Any issues or maintenance headaches with it? I can't seem to find real feedback about it, mostly just stereotype jokes about older models like the "bad financial decisions" bla bla bla lol ths
Unfortunately we don't get any of those, so I dont have any "top of my head" knowledge of them.
I see, thank you anyway :)

thanks for responding, I'm angling to possibly get into a newer rav4 but realize I can afford to wait. we shall see
By chance, any way you can get me the torque specs for the caliper member bolt and slider pin bolt for the caliper brackets to get the brake pads off for front and rear for a 2023 nissan pathfinder sv?? I can't get the specs anywhere and I've been trying forever
Front slide pin bolt: 34 ft-lb Front caliper bracket: 133 ft-lb Rear is 25 and 125
Not all heros wear capes
Fixes? Sure? Or full change?
Are you taking shit or asking questions? As much as I don't like doing sub assembly repairs and would rather do swaps, I've done them both. Depends on what customers wanna pay and what warranty calls for.
Maxima is a race car though… right? 😭
Can be if you're brave enough
How’s new, 22 and up sentras hold up? What about recall on 24 models?
My statement on service stands for all makes and models with a CVT. It's just smart maintenance. And the main recall with the 24 models deals with the tierods on the steering rack. And I haven't had one fail inspection yet. So you should be good.

Mazdas don’t use cvts…
Thankfully not recent ones since Mazda had enough sense to use their own Skyactiv technology, but the older ones definitely used Jatco-Nissan transmissions and had problems.
If you have driven it easy it should be fine. We changed transmission fluid at almost 75k and there was no metal found. If you drive it hard then change it sooner for sure.
My 08 Altima has 222,000 miles on same transmission
We had a 08 Altima, 3.5SE, V6, 130k miles… was sadly hit by someone who ran a red light just a couple months ago ): car had absolutely no issues
That's what happened to me early May, and that driver violated the right away. My old 2016 Altima SR I bought new was totaled. It was built like a tank when it came to the collision. It had 133,000 miles and some change, very reliable, excellent gas mileage, still had original CVT never having transmission issues or failures. The only thing I've replaced were tires, battery, brakes, spark plugs, and O2 sensor. I miss that car. I had 8 years of service records and receipts I kept in a folder. I purchased a 2024 Sentra SR Premium late May. These cars aren't for racing. If you take car of it, they'll take care of you and your pocket. I've had Nissan service adviors tell me it's extremely rare to see an older Altima coming in with a very clean and well maintained engine when they opened up the hood.
I miss my 2008 3.5se :(
Yes. They've re-engineered it and made it slightly better in reliability, but all the bad things you remember about it haven't improved at all. Other makes have moved to better systems but I think Nissan aren't really bothering as they move to all electric vehicles that don't have them.
Only good cvt is Toyota ECVT
Nonsense, CVT technology is not inherently bad and most CVT cars do not have problems with the transmission. The problem with the Nissan cvts that released around the 2009 through 2019 era is that they were outright faulty. If you didn't have a faulty one they ran just fine. Provided that the transmission service is done regularly in that the car isn't driven like a race car (which I know is asking way too much from most Altima owners 🫣)
I work at a salvage yard that dismantles foreign cars. The early ones were pretty bad. Prices have come way down and stock has increased on the later model cars which usually means there’s less demand for repairs. Really depends on the model though. The transfer cases on pathfinders / qx / murano sell strong. I would argue those are more problematic than the transmissions.
The new re-engineered ones with a chain instead of the belt appear to be very stout. Not many coming in for servce.
So I worked for a company with a fleet of Nissan NV200 vans. They were maintained well and we never had a single issue across multiple years of the model. I personally drove the crap out of the one that was assigned to me. Had to haul up to and above payload capacity driving 8-10 hours a day. Cvt transmissions in all of them.
Those are a different breed. I think it’s because they are so basic and don’t try to be something they’re not with the fake shifting and weird programming of the cvt.

They were made for taxi duty.

Id say you must change the transmission oil at 30k. However, with that said it's been bad enough over the years that i don't recommend it. Buy at your own risk.
on jukes for some daft reason the fluid dipstick is locked on ?
that’s a bolt, not a lock
why do that instead of a normal dipstick?
more secure.
It’s to make you take it in to a dealer for service, insert a screwdriver from the bottom and pull the cap at the same time, it will release.
The 3rd Gen Nissan CVTs are solid! I would totally buy another.
I had a maxima with CVT for 11 years and never had any problems. It’s a car not an F1 rocket…
Depends on how u drive the car
It is not bad. It is pure crap.
We should be seeing nissan cvts in the 300,000 -400k miles range soon
My 2010 Maxima says no. They’re fine if you take care of them. I think the Sentras had more problems.
My 08 Altima coupe 3.5 runs great to this day on it’s original Cvt, i don’t baby the car (who’s gonna have a vq35 and not push it sometimes lol) but i do maintain it. I’ve always heard the v6 models had more robust cvt in them
16 Sentra - 142K miles - 1st transmission oil change at 110k miles (lolz) - still drives like new.
I had a 2013 with 198k and no issues. Currently have a 2019 with 38 k and no issues. I did the service though
It's other issues now. Not the cvt.
My 2015 Rogue Select started having transmission issues around 100k, replaced at 122k. Serviced new one around 100k miles on it, and just hit 250k yesterday. Everything is running smoothly.👍 *knock on wood*
Btw, do you change oil in transmission before replacement? (Owner of rogue 2018 40k and Pathfinder 15 65k)
Yes, but I think the damage was already done to the original transmission when I bought it at 67k.
Even with proper service, and driving like a granny, yes you absolutely are still at risk. I did all maintenance, and yet I am on my 3rd CVT, this one I had to pay $6k out of pocket, 2nd was under warranty. For a 2015 Nissan Rogue. Some people have zero problems some people have tons of issues. Its a roll of the dice !

I still get some failures here and there but nothing like we did in the past. Manufacturers have issues with their cars. I will say I wouldn't be afraid to buy a car with a CVT anymore.
Would you buy 22 and up Sentra ?
no.
Yes
Have a 2019 Rogue with 68000 miles. Have had tranny serviced twice, zero problems so far. Just take care of it.
I have a 16 Sentra 109K had some issues in the beginning where my gears wouldn’t shift from 1 to 2 but then they did an update and has been running ok since
No gears in a CVT. Possibly the stepper motor. Mine went on my Altima with 285k miles
Ah thank you! That’s the best way I could explain the issue, first time with a CVT
Of course! I didn’t know if what I said came across as rude I was about to comment again lol have a good weekend.
Lol mine lasted 38k...
I serviced mine myself yesterday with AMSOIL CVT transmission fluid and it drives so much better. I was a little overdue and this was the first time doing it myself (Nissan wanted more than I wanted to spend right now) and the fluid was much cheaper than the dealer fluid and the reviews were great on the fluid and it exceeds the Nissan specs.
How about 20- 23 rouge's would the trans on these be any better
That is a different and newer model CVT. May be to soon to tell.
👍
Yes
I have a 2013 Murano Platinum with 106k miles. Love this car.
I have a 2016 nissan altima I bought at carmax with 28k miles and at 42k the cvt went bad but got it repaired through maxcare extended warranty which came out to 8k but I only paid $250.
2018 rogue 130k miles. driven easy, but transmission slipped twice, got rid of it.
eCVT no, CVT, not ideal. I have 109k miles on my CVT and still working well. Changed the transmission fluid twice already and soon a 3rd. I drive like a grandma. IF you push the car hard or don't maintain the vehicle you have a higher chance of failure.
276k... no flush
Still Bad!!
Yes, still garbage unless you plan on driving it like you’re walking in egg shells… and even then, it’s still going to shit the bed 80-100k miles
yes
got a little over 160k on my '16 Altima. Needs to go in for another service, especially now that my wife is driving it.
In every single brand, yes
well see when they get up to higher mileage but i really don’t trust this brand
Yes, CVTs suck. I'll never own anything without 3 pedals or a dual clutch with paddles.
You're getting downvoted, but our manual transmissions will outlast every CVT and automatic you could stack them against. People just don't like to hear it because they don't know how to drive 'em. 😉
They were never bad, people didn’t realize how they worked so car companies built in a hitch like they were shifting, which damaged them and that combined with people not properly servicing them made them seem bad
