Could be. But it just got “cold” here in southern VA.I have a 2019 Rogue, and now that we are regularly below 32degrees F, my CVT runs at higher RPMs and “shifts” at higher RPMs until warmed up. Is it possible that is the issue?
I would recommend a Drain and Fill.
Good luck!
I have a 2014 Altima, and the "Jake brake" going down hills is perfect normal on this year and model. I believe Nissan called is automatic engine braking. It's like downshifting to slow the car to save on brakes.I talked to
he’s well aware of the possibilities. We talked about it for 20 minutes. He said the only problem is it acts like a jake brake when coasting down hill. He says it revs up a lot higher than if used to. No hard shifting. Only problem is when coasting. Under acceleration everything is fine. Hmmm….
He’s leaning towards doing nothing and running it til it conks out. I guessed a new CVT would be about $3500 installed. Does that sound about right?
I agree. I’m blessed with Nissan CVT X2. I’ve done two drain and fills at 50k and 100k. Watched the fluid come out at 50k. Very black. At 100k not so much. Trans is strong at 103k. We’ll see. This is the 2012 Versa.I’m leaning towards telling her to do a D&F with Nissan fluid and letting her know it could kill the CVT.
At least try and save it.
Her husband is one of my Elders. There won’t be any hard feelings either way.
