Altima CVT transmission slipping

[Santaclause]

I have 2014 Altima tranny slipping slightly when around 60/65 mph. Need quick fix until I have time to drop pan and replace both filters, what would be best product for a slip in like 5th gear

 

[MolaKule]

Is the engine rpm increasing at this speed? How many miles on the vehicle? Any previous fluid changes?

No quick fixes.

A good 3 drain and fill might help.

 

[Santaclause]

Yes, slightly then dropping back.

 

[Santaclause]

150,000

 

[Santaclause]

How many miles between drain and fill, 1,000?

Interesting first post.

 

[Santaclause]

do you think it’s necessary to drain, drop pan, and change out the 2 filters before refilling

Don't bother with the filter inside the transmission pan. Do change the small pleated paper filter under the aluminum cap with 4 pc x 10mm bolts on the side of transmission.

 

[Santaclause]

Thank you. Will do

 

[Santaclause]

So that way, I shouldn’t have to drop the pan right…?

If it is a JATCO cvt try a spill and fill with this;

Ok thanks

^^^this 100%^^^ + i would recommend using either ENEOS or Idemitsu NS-3 CVT fluid. Others may agree or disagree. ( Drain - Fill - 150-200 miles - Drain - Fill )

Just change the fluid a few times it has a bolt at the bottom so no need to drop the pan, It's easy to do likely takes 4.5 quarts per spill and fill. Him and i have used castrol transmax with great success but I never had any slip or noise occur in the outlander sports jatco cvt. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/poor-little-cvt-change-your-fluid.395423/

Thanks much…I see they both have the same transmission…will do

I wouldn't worry about the filters, worry about the magnets.

Have you used the CVTz50 Android app? It should be able to read the firmware version in the TCU. You can check for updates on the Nissan-TechInfo site.

Any CVT fluid you can buy is probably fine for your tranny. I've used five different products and they all work well. For now just get it changed and the magnets clean.

 

[Santaclause]

No, I have an I phone. But I’ll see if a friend can look it up for me

I don't like being a Debbie Downer but I hope your piggy bank is full.

Have you pulled codes yet?
