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.Â*Â* 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.

Yes there is. It is a metal push belt.

So nothing even remotely like what self-propelled lawn mowers use.

Conceptually identical Rod. Not surprised you can't see it.

FWIW, the original automotive CVT, the DAF, did use rubber pull belts.

reams of the rest of your troll**** flushed where it belongs

Ah, the standard Rod Speed troll response when he's been done like a
dinner. Who wouldn't have expected that?
