  • I'm working on this 2010 Nissan Rogue that needs a new transmission. It has a CVT (continuously variable transmission) which are very unique and really cool engineering. I have to disassemble most of the front end of this car to get the transmission out, which I then tear apart so we can see what's wrong with it. Once I get enough money to buy the parts, I'm going to put all this back together and then give it to a graduating high school student who needs it.

    Nice work on taking this cvt out. Would like to offer my 2 cents and share some of the common issues with these cvt transmissions...1) the pump flow valves on the pump itself usually get scorched up and or jammed and need to be updated. 2) the secondary pulley does most of the work in this unit. You have to dismantle it with special tools otherwise you risk hurting yourself. The 2nd half of the pully that slides up and down to change the gear ratio, it slides on 3 small ball bearings grooved into the shaft which usually eat out the shaft. You can upgrade those ball bearings to solid pins. 3) Behind the secondary pully theres a piston with a big black Teflon ring which usually get chewed up and embedded with metal filings from the wear and tear and stops holding pressure. The pulley works at about 500-800psi of pressure. Depending on damage, both might need changing. 4) sometimes when you take apart the Pulleys you discover they have snapped inside and need replacement. 5) Since the secondary pulley is the most used, the secondary pulley valve in the valve body gets worn out. It should be inspected. 5) The belt has small vertical grooves on it's edges of the elements. They usually get scorched and belt starts to slip and requires replacement. 6) Make sure to inspect the surface of the Pulleys as they should be smooth without any grooves. 7) Depending on the type of driving and mileage, might be a good idea to replace the torque converter. 8) Make sure you get the Nissan cvt oil when it's all said and done.
    Hope this helps!

    The half shaft you're dealing with has 2 CV joints. An outboard Rzeppa joint that has 6 balls riding in grooves and an inboard plunging Tripod joint. The inboard plunges to accommodate the change in required length as the suspension swings through its range of motion. This configuration is very common in modern passenger vehicles. Each style joint has its own pros and cons and when used in this combination, you get a pretty good solution.
    Thank you for tearing into the CVT, it was fun to see it's internals!

    The only suggestion I might make is to keep the person you give the vehicle to anonymous. Like I get that it would be great content but in the future that person may regret seeing their less than ideal circumstances broadcast to the world. I think it's awesome you are going to do it and I bet the lucky person who gets the vehicle wouldn't even mind but it just feels weird to use someone else's poor circumstance as fodder for content. You may already be planning to do that just throwing it out there.

    As far as I know CVT "belts" don't stretch as nothing pulls on them. The belt is comprised of elements held together with bands, their only job is to hold the elements together. Torque is transmitted though the element stack by pushing on the stack. It's possible that it's just the pulleys and belt that have just worn down, replacement sets aren't that expensive online... Good luck and happy new year!

    Jatco transmissions are Nissans "Achilles heel". Absolute garbage..... surprised it lasted 150k....most act up well under 100k. Speaking as a prior Nissan Dealer for 40 years 😆. Great video as always 👍

    Thanks! That CVT drive, is also called a Reeves Drive.
    I see them a lot, on older Jet (and other) wood lathes.
    My antique Cast Iron ShopSmith Model 10 had one as
    an option. (Funny, ShopSmith has been going downhill
    since 1954.)
    Give this youngster a decent running car. Ask me if
    you want a real Craftsman ratchet or 3 to give as well.

    I bought my 17 yo daughter a 2014 Mazda 6 with about 100k miles last year in mint condition, paid 10k for it from a private seller (absolute steal at the time). She got into an accident, where the front was moderately damaged, car still ran and kind of drove but the insurance company totaled it still. Got a check from them for almost 15k, point is there was a not ton of damage and they still totaled it because it costs an absolute fortune nowadays to repair these more modern cars.

      It is very expensive to repair modern cars but that's almost completely because the modern cars are designed to absorb The energy from a crash preventing your body from having to absorb it.
      What was a moderate accident with I'm assuming pretty minor injuries in that car could have been a tragedy in a car made 40 years ago.

      @@FarmCraft101 Often, cars that are "totalled" end up being repaired and body cleaned up overseas where they are sold and used again. Many countries don't have the same safety standards as the USA. They are sold for more then parts in the US, but still a lot cheaper then a new vehicle.

    You never cease to surprise and impress, John. And you're absolutely correct that rural areas have no easy fixes for transportation. One thing, if I'm not mistaken, the Rogues need entire driveshafts when u-joints go. Had a friend with a circa 2010(?) that found that out the hard way to the tune of $1000.
