CVT Transmission Rebuild in Real Time - Part 1 | Nissan Doctor

Hello! I'm a nissan tech myself, I have seen guys rebuild these units constantly! My question is what is the life expectancy of these rebuilds? I know they are warrantied for 12k of 12 months after the 84k extension. Because ive heard they fail after about a year and require complete replacement. Is this true? Thank you

The only way to rebuild a CVT gearbox is to put some proper gears in it. CV gearboxes are OK for some machine tools, useless in road vehicles, except for maybe mopeds. Just another point of difference car industry marketing stunt. IMHO. I have owned several Nissan 4X4 cars (Pathfinder & Terrano) and they were great cars and they towed caravans well, I will not touch one now until they put proper gearboxes in them. The Y62 Patrol and Navara UTE may be different, but I can't afford a Y62, LOL.

Just an addition to my comment below, the very fact that you have a channel devoted to CVT rebuilds speaks for it's self, very rarely did one have to rebuild a "geared" box.

Why are you working at Nissan? You could be a model.

I work on these cars. 2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.2 turbo CVT. Ir shudders/jerks in all speeds with RPM going up and down. No DTCs. Just removed the valve body and all pistons are free. Changed oil. No difference. What can be the problem? Plz. Thanks

Awh so that’s why I’m on my fourth transmission

CVT transmission rebuild kit were can I get

If I need to technical support how much charge you

Do you have torque specs? Or just cowboy tight?

I just spend $2,500 on this rebuild.. I hope it was worth it my mechanic explained a lot of these parts saying some were defective… in all my car drives really good. Do I have to break in my transmission? It just seems so stiff like before it would floor it. Now it just seems like when you wear a new pair of shoes

Would it be possible to get a complete rebuild kit for 2014 nissan rogue 4cy ?

2013 Nissan Pathfinder. Primary speed sensor broke and got stuck on the end cap. While trying to pull it out it slipped inside. Try to take the whole end cap off to retrieve the broken sensor. Can I just take the end cap off and retrieve the broken sensor. Or do I need to open from the side with the torque converter

I rebuilt my Nissan Sentra 2016 transmission e, the car doesn’t start because the gears aren’t starting, and on the dashboard it only shows an R, no D or N or any other gear. Please reply. Thank you.

No!! Just not acceptable!. With all this Transmission oil change in 7 years I could have had 3k extra on my pocket. Now the transmission when into safe mode, and I need a replacement for 5K hell no!!. I regret not knowing about Nissan CVT. I didn't know it even existed, until I had to fix it. AM getting a old used good looking car. F this. At least I will go in vacation with the money save and will get me a ps6.

Hello nissan doctor is it possible that that mechanical parts of 4x2 cvt can be use for 4x4? Seems like i wanted to reuse some parts inside from 4x2 then i will return all needed parts in my 4x4 cvt parts to fix it in my car. Thanks

Did Nissan put the same CVT transmission in their vehicles as Suzuki? More specifically the SX4?

Can you specify the actual year range or make and model this tranny is out of. Is this 2013-2015 16-18

Just had cvt rebuilt, experiencing shuddering at low speeds and highway speeds. Reverse is sluggish, not slipping, just feels like taking off in 3rd but in reverse. When I turn off overdrive it stays in 1 gear. Mechanic says nothing is wrong

Great info sir! New subscriber question.
On the cvt belt the oem has ridges like the edge of a quarter. I'm rebuilding a jfo15e (12 Nissan versa) the ridges where worm off the belt. The belt is smooth on the sides now not grooved or chewed up just not grooved. (Variator pulleys look great)
Question #1 Can the old belt be reused?
Question #2 I did buy a new aftermarket belt and it has no ridges at all just smooth. Should I use it or the old one?
Just not sure what's best.
Thanks For your time.

Be nice if we could see what and how you taking it apart....js

i have a 2016 nissan sentra sv 1.8 runs fine in park and neutral but once in drive or reverse it shudders and stalls...only if i add gas itll drive normal but once i stop itll stall again could it be a valve body and mind you i scanned the car and no DTC for transmission or engine?

How much does a CVT cost for a 2013 Nissan Altima?

My 2019 pathfinder with 50k miles has to go through this now ugh

I'm going to kill myself if I have to listen to this background music any longer.

We can’t see what the hell you are doing

Great job
