i would probably trade it in but would be reticent to get a new Nissan
after hearing that their quality has slipped considerably in the last
10
years and major problems with their CVT. $1,000 seems cheap for a
tranny repair and may not last long.



About 3 years ago my son had a Nissan with the CVT that went out at
about 130,000 miles. Nissan would not do anything about it as it was
10,000 out of the extended warrenty that Nissan put on that
transmission
after many of they went out. Cost him around $ 4000 to get it repaired.

He got rid of that junker after another year or so.


We had a Nissan Sentra ca 1990 that was a great car but traded it in
when repair value was approaching book value. Apparently quality
started going downhill when they partnered with Renault after 2000.

I had a CVT on a 2016 Subaru Forester that got totaled in 2019 replaced
with a Subaru Crosstrek with CVT. I like the CVT and get great mileage.
Hopefully some of the early problems with this type transmission have
been ironed out by now.

Google sez:

Are Jatco CVT reliable?
Nissan subsidiary Jatco supplies many of the world's automakers with CVT
transmissions. Nissan vehicles have been featuring CVTs for 15 years,
but they've demonstrated less than stellar reliability. ... CVTs. Lots
of other Nissan owners have also known the scourge, even after Jatco
took steps to improve reliability.May 23, 2018

I had never heard of CVT transmissions until this thread. Seems they
took
the slipping belt idea that self-propelled lawn mowers use and put it on
cars.
The you need a hearing aid, BAD.

Similar idea,

Nope and nothing even remotely like it.
but I guess the two pulleys change width so the belt doesn't slip a lot.
There is no belt.


From an Australian auto website:

https://carpart.com.au/blog/technical/what-is-a-cvt

"The belt-operated design of a CVT offers around 88% proficiency, although, considerably smaller than the efficiency of a manual transmission, can be balanced by lower creation cost and by empowering the motor to keep running at its most efficient speed for a scope of output speeds.

A lot of vehicle models and brands now use CVT transmission for their engines or motors, some of these car brands and models include:

Toyota: Toyota Prius, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Mark X, Toyota Allion, Toyota Premio, and Toyota Avalon.
Subaru: Subaru Legacy, Subaru Crosstrek, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Outback and Subaru Forester.
Nissan: Nissan Sunny, Nissan Cube, Nissan Juke, Nissan X-trail, Nissan Maxima, Nissan Rogue, Nissan Murano, and Nissan Pathfinder.
Honda: Honda Fit, Honda CR-Z hybrid, Honda Accord, and Honda Civic.
Ford: Ford C-Max (hybrid).
Suzuki: S-Cross SX4, and Suzuki Kizashi.
Dodge: Dodge Caliber.
Chrysler: Pacifica hybrid.
Jeep: Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot."


The have a nice picture showing the belt too. And they must be right, because they are from
the land of kangaroos. BTW, isn't it time for you to get off the internet for at least a few
minutes and go feed them?

Rod's none too bright. ;-)

Are you trying to compete for the understatement of the year award??
If so you are doing pretty good!!

It must be the penchant I have for stating the obvious! LOL
