Anyone else get a sense of relief when it’s not your car that Scotty is about to go in on😮

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.

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.

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!

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'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)

My 2013 Honda accord has 215,000 miles. Original cvt trans. No problems.

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.

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.

So let me get this right,he had a previous Nissan with the jatco transmission, and yet he bought another One??????..?

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

I have 255,000 on mine, never had a issue. Stick running stock trans fluid.

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.

My son's company leases a Rogue. It seems an adequate car. He loves not worrying about the reliability or the CVT.

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.

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.

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.

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 .
