@Back In The Day 2 and if you Really want to and tool up you can actually work on them
Is the attached video on why CVT sucks still available? Does't seem to be working.
Manually shifting a cvt seems pointless as it doesn’t have gears do what are you shifting
Anyone else get a sense of relief when it’s not your car that Scotty is about to go in on😮
I bought my vehicle based off of a scotty recommendation.
YEEEESS!!
LMFAO 😂😂😂
Heh!
subaru?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@Gorilla_cookie actually I've never had anyone chasing me in those dreams, it's always been trying to get to a certain place really fast.
Like the bloody sheep are escaping and I can't get to them and strangely enough my dogs seem to have lead legs too.
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.
Who doesn't drive aggressive?
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...
So, can you change the filter?
@@baytown3734 When my wife had a CVT, I changed it every 50K and it needed it. We start getting them in the shop dropping like flies in the summer on long drives over an hour. Change the filter and it's good to go many more miles. My service rep loved me for that one. Saved on a lot of warranty CVT replacements.
I have a '09 Maxima with 211k.....I change the fluid and external filter every 30-45k.....it's like anything else....if you take care of it, it will most likely last....not guaranteed of course....
When my son's Rogue with the CVT, got to 130,000. we changed the trans fluid and BOTH fluid filters and added an aftermarket external fluid cooler. So far, so good!
Nissan recommends fluid changes every 40k I do it every 30k. Thanks for mentioning there are two filters. Most people don’t even find the second one on the case housing where the cooler line goes in at.
I should have mentioned that he bought it with 129500
So how much does that external cooler cost anyway after the fact....
@@lopez121709 Around $60-70 as a kit
hey Bill, do know of videos on how to change the trans fluid, fluid filters, and the external fluid cooler?
Lol everyone forget transmissions problems with the old transmissions. Transmissions shops have been around forever. CVT in my opinion are great. Less noise, better MPG and smooth shifting.
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.
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.
3 speed autos with rear wheel drive were trouble free. Cars are throwaway now. Junk. Expensive.
@Jonathan A that’s a given
@Jonathan A you said it doesn’t shift, we all know that but it acts like it does. No need to say the obvious
My 2013 Honda accord has 215,000 miles. Original cvt trans. No problems.
Because you make sure the maintenance gets done, right?
Because it's NOT a Nissan!!!
Identified as Honda at time of birth 😂
All Hondas same cvt is strong
Honda is not a Nissan, big difference
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've had several CVT transmissions without no failures whatsoever but the biggest thing in my book is keeping the transmission fluid clean I change it once a year change new filters and drain and refill the transmission I have gotten up to 41 miles a gallon taking a trip to my sister's down to Carolina from New Hampshire driving 70 75 this is a 2018 Nissan Altima with a 2.5 but you cannot beat all these transmission I see very few people take care of the transformations like to take care of their engines
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)
Nissan dealer told me that there is no filter, all they do is a drop and fill. It really annoys me that they lied to my face. When I’ve called around to some independent mechanics, they don’t even want to touch them. Totally frustrated
A lot of people don't change the fluid in transmissions. Cvt fluid isn't like regular transmission fluid either, Make sure you regularly change the fluid and the little filter in these things and they actually will last.
My son's company leases a Rogue. It seems an adequate car.
He loves not worrying about the reliability or the CVT.
My 2015 Altima has 275k on the engine and CVT. CVTs are naturally dirty, do a drain and fill often and make sure you replace those two filters.
How is your altima now? How much mileage?
@@user-cp3ph4ie4r gave it to my brother it's about 300k.
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.
I have the same Rouge. I do not notice shift points at all. But I drive it in eco mode.
A CVT transmission is a terrible thing to connect to a responsive engine, completely ruins the whole driving experience
Whoever made it mainstream to put cvts in cars needs to be force fed spicy peppers
@@Ty420 there is nothing wrong with a properly built, properly maintained CVT. It's a car, not a toy. You can't tow with them but then the cars they're in aren't meant to tow anyway so that's probably not a bad thing it if stops people from putting trailers behind compact cars and small SUVs.
@@rickbateman2401the only things these "transmissions" are good for are UTVs, snowmobiles, and scooters. And MAYBE a tiny subcompact like the Toyota Yaris. NOT a full size sedan like the Accord or the Altima.
I purchased a 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport because I wanted a small economical car as a daily driver. However, I began to notice that every time I drove it my ears would start ringing. I did some research to find out why the car was so loud and I discovered it was because of the whine of the CVT transmission, and I was upset to find out that my Nissan operated with a friggin rubber band. I hated this car and after 4 months traded it in for a 2023 Mazda CX-30 Carbon edition which is a fantastic vehicle.
I drive a 2022 Corolla and every once in a while I get scared seeing his videos thinking he’s gonna trash my cvt
Hey Scotty. Happy Holidays. Thanks for the video. My sis owns a 2015 Altima with a CVT and knock on wood, no problems. Shortly after she bought it Nissan sent out a letter, they extended the warranty on these. Not great but at least they did that.
Currently own a 2013 Nissan Altima S purchased in 2015 with 16k miles for $16k$'s. Mechanic drains and fill the tranny at 35k and tomorrow again at 56k. No flush. CVT fluid only. Car is great but at high speeds you start to feel it's age. Tranny is fine BUT I baby it. No hard acceleration. Coast up to red lights and stop signs. Basically drive like the old man I am.
Those Nissan Rogues / X Trails are decent cars. Just change the transmission fluid at 50 to 60 thousand kilometres with the TWO filters and using OEM CVT fluid.
or change the transmission to a stick shift! :-)
I agree with you. People need to maintain their cars.
So let me get this right,he had a previous Nissan with the jatco transmission, and yet he bought another One??????..?
I had a 2017 Nissan Rogue, CVT started knocking at around 50k miles. Had a Honda before never had an issue like that.
It's backlash from greater clearance wear measurements.(Not as tight as when newer)
Just change your CVT fluids every 30 - 40,000 miles, cooler and CVT pan filters at least once or twice in the life of the vehicle. Don't abuse your CVT and it'll last a good long time. (118,000 miles is already a Hallmark
Keep it up, and who can complain about high 20s to 30 mpg consumption rating!)
I bought my 2013 Honda accord brand new.. it has the cvt transmission and I’ve put 250,000 miles and counting I love my car
When you peeked on any Nissan repair center receiving area- you see crates of replacement CVTs waiting to be installed . Meanwhile in Kia - you see crates of replacement engines .
I have a 2010 Sentra with the CVT and no problems in that regard, though it has had more exhaust issues than anything else. If you change the fluid every 30,000 miles and don’t drive it like a race car you should be fine. That being said, I would definitely buy another Sentra but it would have to be a standard one.
I have 255,000 on mine, never had a issue. Stick running stock trans fluid.
These transmission need the fluid changed when the manual says to change them. The problem is that people don't change the fluid when it's supposed to be changed. That's when problems arise.
Cool! The red Hummer passing by at 8:00 just disappears! Zap!
Holy crap ! Scotty made a Hummer disappear !
@@jayhockley8841 He's said more than once that they're piles of crap. Damn, the guy is good!
@@1622steve 👍
My 2012 Nissan Sentra 163,000 miles has its original CVT no issues
Our 2008 Buick Enclave made 70,000 dealer serviced only wave plate failure. None of those gm Enclaves ever made 100K . We change our 2019 cvt Nissan Pathfinder every 25K (Nissan Dealer)
@@curtiseggemeyer5681 hopefully that 2019 CVT last 300,000 without issue lol
@@retrochi71 Most companies now followed Nissan and are using cvt trannys .
I have a 2017 Nissan Versa Note with a 1.6 liter and a CVT having little over 65,000 and is still going great. I bought it three years ago with 50,000 miles
You shouldn't have any problems by 65k anyways, and driving 5k miles a year is very little use.
You are an old school thinker. I own a 2018 Nissan rogue and I am happy with her. So far, 63k miles have been driven without any single issue.
You apparently have never met a ford focus transmission
DEFINITIVAMENTE
Honda- change transmission fluid every forty thousand miles.
Nissan - change transmission every forty thousand miles.
How about a twin turbo,supercharged,direct injection,hybrid,all wheel drive, variable cylinder activation,3 cylinder, ford focus with a dual clutch cvt with automatic shut off and a dose of sea foam.
the dual clutch they had in the focus was bad enough as is
Only on a Fiat.
Whoa, hold your horses there boy
Now that's not something I'd want to play Russian roulette with! 😆
And make it a 2stroke while youre at it, with an oil injection system
I had the CVT issues at 40k, I’ll never buy Nissan again
You mean Nissan CVTs. Lol. 155k on my Civic. No problems. Change the fluid every 35k.
Ya, jatco
I think he was pretty clear that he was talking Nissan.
@@KissellMissile So
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.
how’s it going thinking of buying a nissan maxima sr
@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.
Hi I had a Nissan Maxima 2007 got it with 10k run it to 198k didn’t experience nothing different always service it at the Nissan dealer for all transmission oil changes and was very happy with it. Had to sell it as family grow up fast.
Love it when I see a new Scotty video drop everyday 😁 Have learned quite a few things from them, over the past couple years! As for all of these CVT’s that seem to run almost EVERYTHING nowadays, it really makes me appreciate my old 5spd auto that has 294k on it, in my 2003 4Runner 😄👌
The Toyota's made in Japan - like yours are strong as hell!!!
The American ones and even new ones are nowhere near as strong.
@@metalmike570 in
He should now seriously consider getting a fluid change done on that CVT.
Right a transmission oil change is probably way overdue but Scotty didn't mention it. It's recommended around 60K I think, I used to have a Rogue Sport, it's the little Rogue and
they have 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engines - not 2.5 liters. Those are in the regular (bigger) sized Rogues.
I have a Nissan Rogue with 119,000. They refused to do a transmission fluid drain and fill or full flush at my local Nissan Dealership due to liability concerns. Even though I had already changed it at 60k miles. No surprise it’s starting to slip at lower speeds now. It’s like they know these peaces of junk are due to break down.
@@Alberto-or7js Exactly
@@metalmike570 someone said it gets dirty after 20k so 20 to 30k is when it should be done
@@Alberto-or7jsI have 2013 rogue, I def have this CVT issue as well. How have you handled it? Do you get it flushed regularly now?
Time to bring back the clutch pedal!:)
I've just bought a 2017 Honda civic ex. My first experience with a cvt. Unlike a lot of people I like the feel of it; the sensation that the car is smoothly taking care of itself. There's light, effortless feeling about it. The car was serviced regularly and has 64,000 miles. Is this the right time for transmission fluid change? It hasn't had a change yet
Yes you should change it. I also have a Honda Civic. Great and reliable cars. Change the fluid now and do so every 30,000 miles.
Thanks. I hope it's not too late
Thanks J
Should have bought a manual trans
That's no help and the only one was rusted out
I change the fluid in my Jatco CVT every year 10k-12K. Cost me about $80 worth every penny.
I think it's recommended every 30K, you're really doing it too much!!
@@metalmike570 If they have a Nissan Jatco cvt then they are not changing it too much. lol
@@metalmike570 Actually, it does not hurt to do it. In fact, when you feel the CVT doing strange stuff, you change the fluid and it goes away. I had a 2013 Sentra, which I loved and I felt it ran better with each fluid change. I got to 98k miles with it in 4 years and I got scared of the CVT going bad, as the 100k warranty was about to expire so I traded it at the same dealer I bought it for a Frontier. I almost cried when I left the car at the dealer. The salesperson told me he sold the car the next day, as the buyer saw the impeccable condition and service record.
@@gabrielsierra6890 I think Nissan's are designed to be traded in as soon as your loan is paid off. For me it's 6 years. Only problem is you're always paying a loan!!
@@metalmike570 where I live, we have tons of Nissan cars that are 15 and 20 years old. It was this particular CVT that was installed from 2009 to 2018 that was problematic when neglected. I traded my Sentra for the Frontier and a year later, they extended all CVT warranties to 10 years. They have since replaced that CVT on newer cars
This is the Nissan Quashkai sold in the UK - One of their top selling cars .
My 2009 Subaru impreza had a cvt transmission with 137k miles and started having shifting issues so I traded it in for a newer 2021 model. When I would accelerate it would go up to like 40 mph then downshift on its own then shift back up for no reason. No stress on the motor or anything. Also found that using premium fuel was perfect. Regular gave bad mileage and super would cause it to kick really hard on acceleration from having fantastic acceleration. Went with premium problem solved 90%.
2009 does not have cvt my friend bc i have a 2010 impreza(i have drained its transmission) its a 4eat that gen. Its the 2012+ Imprezas with a cvt. If you had shifting issues you should have dropped the pan changed the filter and possibly the shift solenoid.On top of that maybe even lucas oil bc according to manual it is actually compatible with dextron and mr subaru on youtube recommends.
@@b469b Does a 2009 Subaru Impreza have a CVT transmission?
The Impreza offers two versions of Subaru's Symmetrical All Wheel Drive system. Models with the manual transmission have a viscous coupling locking center differential that splits power 50/50 front to rear. Models with the automatic use an electronically managed continuously variable transfer clutch
@@justinbowen1183 It still has gears(no belt) just shifted by the computer. Trust me manual says to use subaru/idemedtsu type hp or if not available dextron III(thats good new cvts are rarely fixable at higher mileage). The autos i believe are limited slip differential but i am not positive.I did change my gear oil and it helped a lot i was at the point of mild torque bind cleared right up.
If you own a CVT transmission, you have to change the filters, drop the pan clean it out. Make sure the pick up tube isn’t full of debris at the screen. Do not just go get a flush job you’ll be sorry.
I miss my simple Nissan 2.5L four-cylinder hardbody.
I see those still going strong once in awhile on the road here in northeast Florida.
I bought a 2007 Nissan Sentra with the cvt transmission. It went through three transmission before 50,000 miles. Nissan said they wouldn’t replace another transmission even though it was still under waurantee. I sold it the next day with 52,000 miles. No more Nissans.
I have a 2018 Toyota C HR with CVT transmission which I am not a fan of as well. I prefer the old transmission. I bought the extended warranty just because of the CVT transmission 5 years with 90,000 miles warranty from ALLY. I will let you know when the transmission fails.
Have this exact vehicle for my kid. Luckily, it will be about 25 years before he hits 100k miles the way he drives. 👍🏻🤣
I had a lancer back in the day.. never had any issues with the cvt.
I have 2013 lancer 486000 kms no issues, to bad they stopped making them
My 2013 Honda Accord has 300,000 miles. Original engine and CVT still going strong. And my Dad's 2014 Honda Accord has 325,000 miles on the original engine and CVT.
Honda's usually last longer than Nissans just the way it is.
Danny How often do you change the Trans fluid ?
@@jayhockley8841 Every 50 or 60 thousand miles.
@@dannyeshleman1311 Ok , just wondered . Thanks !
With all these modern auto transmission horror stories, why don't we all just go back to driving manual gearbox cars?. Solid, reliable, bulletproof, last for as long as the engine turns, little to no maintenance & gives you the freedom to drive your car to your own style, whereas in the auto you are restricted by the computerised program in the automatic transmission.
Most people don’t do proper maintenance on their vehicles. They wait until something breaks. I have 150,000 miles on my 2015 Honda Civic. I change the oil every 5,000 miles & change the CVT fluid EVERY 30,000 miles. The car runs like brand new.
I wonder if the people that have CVT transmission problems have EVER changed the fluid.
That's true and Honda's are engineered a little better than Nissans too, and that helps.
Thing is, it's getting increasingly harder to get automatics that aren't CVT. I was in the market recently and found lots of non-CVT transmissions but they were in unreliable cars and plenty of CVT transmissions in reliable cars.

Scotty you’re wrong on the new VC 3 cylinders. I just got a 2023 rogue and I love it
"It's kind of small.."
That's what she said. 😳
I've driven a few CVTs and never became accustomed to the difference in engine speed vs car speed. They're not for me.
Hello Scotty from Mooresville NC USA 🇺🇸 Merry Christmas from my family to yours!!
Hello Jeff 👋 greetings from the Triad, in the great Carolina!
It’s cheaper to change the CVT fluid every 30 or 40 thousand miles and hopefully extend the life of the CVT vs replacing it.
CVTs get slightly better city MPG at the expense of lower hi-speed (highway) MPG. I prefer an automatic. If its between a base VW Jetta and an 8 Speed auto OR a base Toyota Corolla with a CVT, which would you pick and why?
Oh God now here again talking about CVT Transmissions 😂 meanwhile still driving the same Nissan with a CVT for years now and never had an issue at all .

Very Good Report, CVT just an over designed snow machine cutch, always carry a spare belt, you might have to change it part way on your trip, are the cvt's the same way?
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.
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.
you know which company makes lots of CVT vehicles? toyota
That there is around a 2017 Rogue Sport..... that's a 2.0 liter engine under the hood.
I know because I had a 2020 Rogue Sport.
Just got my 2016 Sentra back from its second CVT replacement. First one was replaced at 27,000 miles. The second at 20,000. Not even 100 miles in after I got it back and I already had to send it back to Nissan because the Check Engine light came on… Again. Never again with Nissan. Do Not Buy.
Thank you for the warning ⚠️ They just don't build things like they used to
@@belindaspechtenhauser6621hey sure don’t. Only reason I went with them again is because I never had any major issue with my 04 Sentra. 130,000 miles on it and it still runs great. Then again it’s not a CVT.
I know the floor mats says Nissan Rogue, but I'm pretty sure it is a Qashqai.
it's a Rogue "sport" here in the US
Scotty Agree with you 100%... STAY AWAY FROM NISSAN!!! OR BETTER RUN AWAY FROM NISSAN!!!
I’ve never known a single person with a Nissan who didn’t have the tranny take a crap around 60 to 70K .Why on earth people keep buying these things is beyond me.
worst cvt transmission was the cvt in saturns! I worked for saturn and you were lucky for the cvt to last 20,000 miles in the SUV seen many not make it much past 10,000 miles when in a car they lasted longer but still failed. Some Aftermarket warranty companies stopped offering warranties on them which I dont blame them because it was a gaurentee for the transmissions to fail. Its crazy to me how a transmission so bad ever gets put into production how do they not test them to know i mean in this situation if they only put them in cars and use a different transmission for the suv's it would have been a much smaller problem.
118,k miles 😮 be careful a lot of nissan c.v.t have major problems around 133, miles
I was told the jatco CVT was not built for larger AWD vehicles like my outlander that’s why it went out. I’m guessing if you have a small suv or car you might be ok.
Honestly anything with a CVT with Mitsubishi is a lottery at best. You can drive the thing decently spirited and forget to do the fluid changes diligently and have issues but then do the fluid swaps as needed in the manual and baby the car and have the transmission grenade itself before reaching 60k miles.
We had 130k miles on our 2011 Murano when we sold it. Cut was fine. Change the fluid every 30-40k
"Woop dee doo, easy to do" need a shirt with this quote 🤣
My rogue is one dependable car awd I drive very consistent speeds and I get 38 mpg on the back roads
i am a gm guy but got a 2018 rogue just to see what the fuss is all about ,an nissan just gave us a 7 year 84,000 mile free replacement for the cvt,, my wife loves it ..i knew about them anyway ,,have it serviced an it will last ,,like you said great mpg ...cant hurt the 4 cyl
Liars!!! Rogues are garbage!! I am with one as a driveway decoration now, at which I absolutely NEED a vehicle to drive my daughter 40 min to school and cheer practice and basketball practice and games. She is in 8th grade, and what worst timing. I absolutely need a reliable car, and NISSAN IS NOT IT. Replaced coolant reservoir and hoses day one, next was front control arms, sway bar, linkage, then the radiator, alternator, battery,control arms again, wheel hub bearing assembly, ** ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel pump, and this thing will not start

My 2018 sentra has over 77k on it and I haven’t had any issues with the cvt, it’s been overall reliable
Give it more time that’s still relatively low mileage
I would still change the fluid if you haven't already
Only transmission I ever had problems with was a CVT
Aren’t you special.
I agree! Bought a brand new Mitsu Outlander in 2017. All service done on time. At 125k transmission died on the highway. No junkyards had any, and had to buy a new transmission for $10k total parts and labor. I do not recommend Nissan, Mitsubishi, or jeeps with Jatco CVT transmissions
10k for parts and labour?!? Hot damn my civic to do a tranny swap was only 3k including an extended warranty on parts and labour hot damn dude😯 I'm still paying on it as a matter of fact
CVTs in anything Mitsubishi is a weird lottery honestly. I know owners who haven’t changed their fluid at the intervals indicated in the manual and haven’t had issues at all and I’ve known some who do change the fluid every 30k miles as well as the filter and have the CVT go out not even at 60k miles already.
The one in my ‘16 Lancer hasn’t gone out yet nor shown any issues with slipping and fluid’s been swapped along with the filter. Here’s hoping it somehow doesn’t grenade before 125k lmao
@@justinbowen1183 oh trust me I know!!! if it wasn’t for family giving us a had with that we would have a giant paper weight sitting here. The rest of the vehicle has given us 0 issues!! Motor is great, just had new tires put on, paint and body are great. It was just the weak point of a CVT. 😢
@@losalva4220 Some Nissans and Mitsubishi's do use the same parts; they both have Jatco CVT's is what I heard.
@@metalmike570 they slightly different, manufacture design the CVt jatco build them, only the new in rogue and outlander are the same.
Subaru says don’t change the transmission oil… That doesn’t seem right to me
Never thought I would have a CVT. Heard so much bad things about them. Deservedly so. I purchased a New Civic with a CVT about 6 months ago. I got to say. I don't notice it. Guess that's a compliment.
never worry with Honda cvt
CVTs that Toyota and Honda both use tend to be a lot better. Most of the problems I see are with jatco CVTs which are used mainly by Mitsubishi and Nissan, mostly the latter though the former does have issues with it as well.
When we had our 2009 nissan sentra it had 285000 miles when we got rid of it. Luckily we never had any problems out of the engine or transmission.
I have a 2017 Pathfinder, 3.5 V6 & a CVT tranny. I have 64K miles & had the tranny serviced at 50K miles.. No issues so far & my Nissan Dealer warranties the tranny for 100K miles, since I serviced it as the owner's man says..
Have a Mitsubishi with the Jatco CVT. I have 110,000 miles and no issues. Replace the fluid and filters every 30,000 miles and they will be fine. I use mine in eco mode and it puts less stress in the transmission
So eco drive mode is good ..I drive on eco mode every day all day so is that good or nhave 2018 honda crv
That manual mode shifting is genius
On my 12' Altima with 114,000 miles I don't notice any jiggling at lower speeds. I believe the best way to drive these cars is to to apply light but steady acceleration to get them up to speed. Next is to change the CVT fluid every 25,000 miles or 2 years whichever occurs first.
Do you drive on eco drive or no??
I have 2018 honda crv lx awd with cvt transmission 2.4 engine..I drive in eco mode every day all day around 200 miles every day city drive is it ok to drive in eco drive all day every day or no ..yes or no please answer me..tnx
Ehhh, I've got 327K on my manual 5spd '07 civic. Never changed the transmission fluid. I only changed the oil every 5-7k and replaced the break pads a few times, and the window motor, sometimes the air filter. The only problem I have is the odometer doesn't work but that's why there are apps for my phone, problem solved. Oh yeah, great AC still here in the Arizona desert.
those manual civics will last forever the body will rust out eventually
I'm still waiting for my 3 cyl Metro engine at now 277000 miles to wear out. I guess I have to change the oil every 20,000 miles to make Scotty look smart.
5000miles is as far as i go. If your over 250000 you got your money's worth. What transmission do you have?
@@johnweiland9389 Manual.
I personally like CVT's but they definately are not for people who do not feel how their cars reply to aggressive drivers.... like my father.He drove my car once and I could tell he definately strained the system. It took me a while to retrain it and it seems to be back to normal. Another trick I tend to use is letting go of the gas and then re-pressing the gas to reset the tension. It's more of a skill to use them.
118000 miles is pretty good 👍
"Hey Scotty. I've got this Fiat and it's running a little rough. Could you take a look at it?" LOL!
I purchased a 2014 Ford Focus a few years ago. Only had 31,000 miles. That fuc******** CVT transmission was garbage. Jerking during takeoff. Slipping in and out at different speeds. I got rid of it in 3 months.
Definitely the most reliable uploader on CZcams can always expect to have a nice video to watch and relax and learn to
Well one error he made was that this is a Nissan Rogue Sport. They are smaller than a Nissan Rogue. The Rogue Sport's have a 2 liter 4 cyl engine, not the 2.5 engine in the regular / big Rogue.
♥️ my 03 350z, manual by the way 😅 no issues other than general maintenance
Aren’t all cars being switched to CVT? That’s what I am told, seems not to be an option. Is that true?
Smaller care do Corolla civic kia Hyundai not all but mostly everybody is going to cvt sadly for gas mileage
