Worth scrap price as is. Check for a used tranny and it should give you
a payback. As is, you may find someone willing to take on the project
and give you a few hundred.

Your biased opinion aside,there is no such thing as a mint car with
110,000 miles.

With a tranny working you can get 5-7 thou depending on model and
options. Check out the price to have it rebuilt.

There is a reason Nissan vehicles are over-represented in scrapo
yards (particularly around here) with many of them looking WAY to good
to be scrapped - scrapped due to repairs to trans or engine/emissions
being more than the car is worth. A few less now since the e-test is
gone.

I will respectfully dissagree. I've seen cars in mint condition with
250,000 KM - you could put them on the showroom floor and be hard
pressed to tell it from a car that had never been sold - and not
burning ANY oil between changes - with perfect compression and oil
pressure. What high standard do you have for "mint" condition?

Does it have to excede Hagerty's #2 condition??? (Excellent not
concours) Most cars over the last 40 years aren't "concours" from the
factory or show-room floor.

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.

Totally restored may qualify but the typical every day car in far from

Read the used car adds and you will see a lot of MINT cars for sale.
Seems a lot of sellers think that means only scratches, no big dents and
tires still have visible tread.

Not just cars, the term has been used sloppily on many items.

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.

That is possible. Mint would be less than 100 miles on the OEM tires,
no measurable wear on brake pads or rotors, perfect carpeting, perfect
seats. Engine compartment with no drips, stains, dust, visible wear.

Just as your coins, if they came from the mint to you, yes. if in
circulation, no.

I do know of a '66 Mustang in mint condition. The guy bought it and
drove from the dealer to his garage and parked it.

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.
Similar idea, but I guess the two pulleys change width so the belt doesn't
slip a lot. Seems they are more failure prone and more costly to replace or
fix. I wonder why they are more costly than a regular automatic? Seems
they would be less complex to me. Also I see a lot of people don't like them
because they don't behave like the automatics they are used to, with shift
points. Good to know when looking for the next car.

The variable speed pulley thing goes back to the 1940s. My dad had it on a
Minneapolis Moline set up as a combine. Those became the New Idea Uni System.
One could use those as a corn picker, combine, or hay chopper.
Dad's had a normal three? speed transmission plus the variable speed. A V belt connected
two pulleys that could expand or contract. I think there was an arm connecting them so
one expanded while the other contracted keeping the belt tight.

I had never heard of CVT transmissions until this thread.

At the time it was touted as the future of automatics. No one else has
joined in though. Now, 6 and 8 speed trannys are normal and have good
performance.

CVT's do continue to proliferate as I believe they are cheaper to make
with less parts and give improved mileage.

I was hearing this about Toyota's that include a low gear to start:

"Toyota brands the K120 as the Direct Shift-CVT and includes a physical
first gear (also known as a "launch gear") and nine additional simulated
gears, for a total of 10. The launch gear is engaged when the car takes
off from being stopped and transitions to the belt drive once the car
picks up speed."

Gets around one concern that CVT is sluggish to start.

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?

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.

From an Australian auto website:

"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.

Just another steaming turd of a web site. Pity about

Similar idea, but I guess the two pulleys change width so the belt doesn't

fix. I wonder why they are more costly than a regular automatic? Seems
they would be less complex to me. Also I see a lot of people don't like them
because they don't behave like the automatics they are used to, with shift
points. Good to know when looking for the next car.

At the time it was touted as the future of automatics. No one else has
joined in though. Now, 6 and 8 speed trannys are normal and have good
performance.
A lot of multi-speed automatics are actuallyprogrammed CVTs - like
the Toyota Corolla S type? which acts just luke a 6 speed ? automatic.

You're wrong again Rod. People do not like the rubber band effect of a

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.

You never could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.

Thank you for conceding.
