Ever wondered what a CVT feels like? Here’s how it behaves.
CVT: *Acts like a regular automatic*
right lol
CVT: I’m a 7 speed automatic :)
like motorboat
My 92 accord automatic isn’t like the cvt
Nah handles so ass you shouldn’t put them things on any car over 150hp or that thing will be ruined. Had me on the side of the road during my first week of owning my focus.
The problem with Nissan’s CVT isn’t HOW it drives, the problem is IF it drives.
IF? 😂😂😂😂😂
If u don’t have or never owned a Nissan please save the talk talk
@@miking3261 i had the trans die on a rental Sentra. I think i know what i’m talking about. Can’t even get 15K out of those shitboxes.
@@TheSavage3.6 my 2016 Sentra SV has 138k on the original CVT and it still drives like brand new. And that’s with the previous owner not maintaining it very well.
Lots of Nissans do struggle but some of them are okay
@@raider4394 Honestly i don’t doubt it. I drive only Chrysler vehicles, as you probably know they don’t get the best rap but mine have been flawless with meh maintenance. I’m sure mine was just a case of it being a rental.
then it broke down after he stopped recording
lmao
I have one the sv new one and it’s been great but we also have an older Sentra with 225k without no problems what so ever with the cvt just change fluids
Lol 🤣😂😂 that’s right!
😆
They feel like a scooter ....
C-v-t = constant vehicle trouble
Depends on the CVT. Hybrids for instance (although technically not a transmission) are super simple and damn near indestructible.
So true till the best snaps lol.
Also they say it can tow lol.
The only cvt that doesn’t break every 1/2 mile is the ones can am puts in their atvs and sxs
On Nissans yes. Honda CVTs are pretty good
260k miles on my 11 Altima says otherwise 🤷
*Ironically uses one of the worst CVTs in recent history*
Except here's the kicker... What you just showed isn't how a CVT was designed to behave! Original CVTs, many years ago, did not simulate gear shifts. OG CVTs would hold RPMs at the higher range and just stay there. Then, the modern customer complained about how awkward and unnatural it felt. Now CVTs simulate gear shifts, completely defeating the point of a CVT! 🙃
That feeling came back with hybrids. I have a Chevy volt for instance and my engine goes up and down in RPM based on voltage of the battery not drive speed. There are many instances where I can be going 80mph and my engine just shuts off because it doesn't need any extra power.
The 1st generation of Nissan CVTs worked like that, I have one and it’s great
Which tbh is why there are more issues. The constant fluctuation of rpms while accelerating is actually harmful
@@dillzilla4454That’s interesting. Another reason to check off for wanting a hybrid…
@@karma9424 if you are looking for one, the gen2 volt is absolutely fantastic. The EV range on the car often exceeds what is advertised along with the MPG and it drives like it's a EV regardless of what mode it is in.
“It. just. keeps. going.”
Until it overheats and stops you from going over 3k rpm
The only cvts I like are Honda cvts and Toyotas
And Subaru
In brazil, mitsubishi has a "tropical kit", basically it is a radiator to cool the cvt, works well. Imported mitsubishi heats a lot here
I rarely ever hit 3k in my 2024 Civic. The cvt usually gets me the power I need before reaching that rpm.
I only hit 4k rpm merging onto highway on ramps. These arent track cars.
Nissan CVT’s are known for giving problems, but with maintenance, they can last a long time. I own a 2007 Altima 2.5S with the CVT with 224000 kms still going strong. Always kept up with maintenance as any car owner should do
What maintenance did you do to keep it going ?
Word what maintenance and when should you change your water pump and your timing belts after about 120k?
@@jorde6717 there is no changing of the waterpump or the timing belt there isn't a timing belt.
@@occckid123 lol i don’t know if your being serious or saying they don’t last up untill they need either of those switched you’ll need a new transmission by then or do the new nissans really not have one?
@@jorde6717 it has a timing chain nkt a timing belt. It's been that was since around 2003
“CVT is a transmission that basically keeps going” is crazy
CVT = Continuously vulnerable transmission
You can't talk about how smooth and shiftless a CVT is when the CVT here is programmed to sound and feel exactly like a conventional automatic with fake shift points.
A cvt has the exact same sensation of speed progression as watching the time at school all day and feeling like the end will never come
Great way to describe it!
Do one with a 100k and watch it sputter and clunk
I got 193k on mine
@@ZivtinHD buy a lottery ticket cause your one lucky sob
@@sidharthchand8072 yeah it still running fine I wanna sell it but my dad wants to fix the exhaust today! So I mean if you wanna follow my insta maybe yall can help me pick a good car go get into the car scene with
Grabbing one for free that has 285k miles XD
Lol hondas and toyota are reliable tho
The reasons cvt fake shifts is because people would constantly complain of the car sounding loud and sound like it will break
Why don't folks understand it's like a scooter CVT. How bout a boat for example. The propeller is going to slip in the water and you can hear the rpms increase to a point and then fall down a tiny bit.
CVT has a different way to drive, it's related to the way you press into the gas pedal. As it shifts up, you should initially press slowly and then you press normally. It has something to do with torque response time in regards to rpm.
I had a 2004 Murano, a 2009 Altima coupe, and a 2011 Murano and never had a problem with any of them. I always said the CVT feels like driving a boat. You throttle up, the engine revs up to a static RPM, and the vehicle accelerates.
CVT fake shifts? ohhh hell no.
if you ever got to ride a CVT Scooter that's what it should feel like.
a CVT works by setting engine to run at a "constant" rpm usually it sets the rpm on the rpm of which it makes the max power when you floor it or max torque if you're on the throttle but not flooring it.
then the transmission variates the ratio to give it's optimal performance / economy/ etc.
this happens while you're accelerating, going up hill, cruising, or slowing down.
Fake Shifts defeats the purpose of a CVT.
maybe it does that to make it feel like a Regular A/T, because it may sound like it's broken for untrained ears.
Yes this is why they make it “shift” so people don’t think their car doesn’t work and it just makes it less effective to making a more efficient car
@@Kachigga-rs7yh its still efficient b excuse when you're driving easy for fuel economy it doesn't even shift at all as long as you're not hard on the gas
The "shifting" simulation is killing the belt. It really should sound like a motorboat.
If You Want the best CVT, Go for Honda or Toyota
and subaru!
Best cvt is to avoid cvt. GET MAZDA.
Got a Accord 2.0T and it fricking hauls ass for a full size sedan.
16 Accord CVT. 215,786 miles. All original.
@@canamxmr4760 damn
THAT WAS SHORT AND SWEET WOW!!
Just like the life of these transmissions 🤣🤣
Some of the worst transmissions ever made !!! Made for gas mileage not any durability !! Buyer beware !!!
I would agree. I just hope the newer CVT’s are better than the ones they made years ago. I can remember Nissan Altima’s having terrible transmission problems. I guess we’ll have to wait and see with these 2020 model CVTs.
@@CarolinaCarVideos I have 370k on my terrible nissan cvt lol.
@@CarolinaCarVideos hopefully they fixed the kinks !! and im just not a nissan hater i loved nissan. but the quality of their cars has Noticeably gone down since even the 2000's pre cvt altimas and sentras. we have had an 2005 sentra that was a Tank! didnt even think about trans. even had an old 94 hardbody pickup that was a absolute beast ! but now my first car was a 09 nissan altima brand new off the lot. transmission lasted 126000 miles conveniently right outside the extended warranty period! cost $8,000 to get the trans replaced. hell you can buy 2 09 altimas for 8 grand maybe 3 lol so thats where my experience comes from but we eneded up getting it replaced for 800$ at the dealer after calling the regional nissan manager pr whoever forgot now but had to do it! thats not fair to the customer at all to use us as test dummys for their shit. i only really trust toyota at this point lol
@@occckid123 i hope you can get 1,000,000! but im just disappointed i thought nissan was something really reliable and durable but i had them confused with toyota obviosly lol ive even had to replace all my ignitor coils 3/4 of my motor mounts, valve cover gasket. in 150,000. those motor monts should last longer than that and one of the mounts i already had replaced before. just overall to many problems to early ! but all are not as bad i guess
@@occckid123 If a car has bad quality it doesn't mean it will break in any case. It means that there is a higher probability for it to do so.
Maybe you are lucky or put in more maintenance effort than it is common.
Cvt transmissions are an interesting concept to me their my favorite because their cool how they work
no CVT has 1,2,3,4,5 gear. no the ratio changes bit it ain't no gears pall.
Its so sad they try to emulate it...
@@theunnamed2440 I’m sure you know but they do it because if it doesn’t “shift” people think their car doesn’t work it’d accelerate so much smoother if it didn’t “shift” into programmed “gears” cuz snowmobiles and sxs accelerate so smooth and it shows how smooth cars could too and performance would increase
@@Kachigga-rs7yh but hondas have s mode in cvt trans where they stimulate gears
@@_rtx_ in ECO mode it’s very smooth shifts. But in sport mode it pulls very hard. Atleast it does on my accord 2.0T
@@ConnerV yea I said the opposite in S mode the car doesnt fake shift while it does on D ...
My 2010 Nissan Murano has over 170k miles on it and still runs great. Ive done the proper maintenance though and I don't drive like an idiot. So that helps I guess.
You average less than 1,000 miles a month, that might have something to do with it.
Earlier iterations of CVTs had the uniform revving and lack of perceptible "gear changes" that made them feel like a 1-speed with infinite ratios.
Modern CVTs however definitely mimic the shift patterns of traditional automatics, simply to accommodate the feedback car brands received over the years from drivers.
I didn’t understoood what exactly the cvt feels like but i do now thx
This video doesn't really explain much because this cars CVT has simulated shifts so if acts like a regular automatic. Some cvts or at least older cvts just keeps the revs constant as the speed increases. It seems like it's just one gear.
It’s a glorified snowmobile transmission that’s does seem to last long especially in nissan versas
I have 85k miles on my 2020 Altima 2.5. Still runs like a champ with no records of the trans fluid being changed. Obviously when I can find the fluid and filter that doesn’t cost $300 I’m gonna change it at 30k mile intervals.
I mean, you would pay $1000 every 100k miles? That sounds like a steal to me if it means keeping your transmission alive. But no point in changing it now, if you change it then it will slip and have no power. It's permanently damaged if you went that many miles on a cvt. That's why they don't last long with no maintenance
It it makes anyone feel any better I bought a 2017 Nissan Sentra new with 27 miles in it and it now had 130,000 with the same transmission. So far mines has been reliable.
it’s a nice feeling but it’s durability is a bigger reason not to buy it
“A CVT is basically a transmission that keeps going”
Then it stops, and you’re stranded, and have to buy a new car…….
Its a lease-matic trans
It look liked it’s bouto go
Problem is Nissan uses jatco cvt’s
The best ones for sure since it handles that 300hp vq beauty!
A cvt is essentially just a large bicycle with a motor
You couldnt be more wrong
CVT made for scooter no for car. 😮
Truth. A friend of mine works for a pharmaceutical delivery company and they used to have a fleet of Rogues and Versas (6 of each). The company does all scheduled maintenance on time whether they need to or not and lo and behold all of them made it to 280,000 miles before getting replaced with new cars. The rule is once a car hits 280k miles or needs a repair costing over $5k it gets replaced.
I can confirm, you don’t hear the gear shifting on the 2024 nissa altima SR
I have a Nissan Rogue the CVT transmission never gave me any problems. Maybe because I change the transmission fluid like I'm supposed to. I have 250000 Miles on my Rogue and I'll give a review of how things are going once I hit 300k miles. Maybe then I might understand people's complaints 😂
My guy, lasting 300k on a CVT Rogue is pretty remarkable. You gotta update it on your YT channel
Friend, can you be so kind and explain to me what your secret has been for your CVT to last so long? How many miles do you change the fluid?
@@Helton_Campos87 I changed my transmission fluid every 30kmiles with amsoil cvt
You gotta ask yourself is it worth the extra money spent at every 30,000 miles for CVT fluid change & filters? Save your money for a Toyota!
@@HB-yq8gy I own a shop so I do the same maintenance on schedule on my Toyotas too
The steps are engineered to provide a feeling similar to other transmissions, it's called D-Step technology
I hope you can deactivate it, whats the point of driving a car with a CVT when they simulate a normal automatic gearbox.
@@jonasstahl9826 while driving normal it act like a normal cvt many car and option to manually shift gear
If you put it in sport mode (button on back of shifter) it’ll stay at around 6K rpms until you reach about 60-70mph
It is good that this CVT "shifts" as some CVTs don't.
People hated on automatic car when they came out people hate on cvt now people will hate on the upcoming car technology. People alway find something to hate
CVT actually deserves the hate. It is not as durable as a regular geared transmission. That's why you don't see trucks, large SUVs or sports cars using this junk transmission. A half inch wide belt pulling a two ton car is not appealing. Nissan also had 2 class action lawsuits for this transmission
Belts can’t transmit torque. That’s why you don’t see larger heavier vehicles like trucks or full-size SUV’s with CVT’s. CVT’s are great for lighter vehicles like snowmobiles and go carts but the more torque you need, the worse a CVT performs.
I think we still hate automatic transmissions in this household.
I'd avoid buying any CVT auto
Nissans maybe, but Toyotas cvt autos are really good
@@ctrikz_tk8745 I've driven both & I agree with you
yes thats very correct but mitsubishi CVTs are tough as hell that is one CVT that i dont hear any bad thing about it
What about Subaru?
Toyotas are good
Realistically the real issue with Nissans cvt is that they are mass produced by a third party company cause Honda and Toyota have cvts in their car but the are produced in house which allows to be a little more quality focused to make a good transmission cause the real reason a cvt exists is for fuel economy
So A stick shift if you don't want problems with a Nissan is what I'm hearing
Fake shifts... so stupid. So stupid. So so so stupid. A real CVT in the earlier models does not shift- it holds RPM at max engine power output and stays there. Customers complained- fake shifts added- CVT purpose defeated.
It's almost like a golf cart, doesn't ever change gears , that's what it feels like
False. Golf carts use only one gear ratio.
CVTs have been around for so long, they're in farm equipment like gators, its great when a belt goes and you're in the middle of nowhere :L
That makes so much sense
I never understood why a CVT instead of a regular transmission. Cheaper? I don't know.
It is more efficient (fuel to power conversion) and so it has better fuel economy (also because you could say when you would normally use 1st or 2nd gear, a CVT could use 1.5 1.7 1.9 or so) just like a veeeeery oversimplified explanation.
Cheaper, lighter, fuel efficient. Everything a manufacturer wants, piece of junk for the consumer.
Boss My CVT in my Civic does not shift automatically when the sound of the engine is going HIGHER like maximum. I need to stop accelerating for 2 seconds and accelerate gain
Love that feeling my civic does the same thing but I heard the new cars with cvt are adding simulated shifting which I think is dumb I say leave it off
@@BenDover-td9hv I think..the bad thing in the car is the CVT
RIP your transmission, brother... going through same shit right now
Right in Charleston I love it
That Nissans transmission went out right after this video
W
I just test drove one and the Rpms stayed in the 4-5 range and kept goin when I got close to 60 feels weird. Wasn’t sure how it was suppose to be and passed on the vehicle
Did you let the engine warm up or maybe you had it in L mode which is right below d on the gear selector by mistake because it's definitely not supposed to stay 4-5k lol.
@@occckid123 overdrive
@@kiefluciano4971 doesn't have overdrive if he test drove this specific vehicle. He didn't say which year
I’ve never hopped in 2 Nissans that felt the same BUT mine, with a brand new tranny, only goes past 2500 rpm when I’m accelerating. Once you’re not accelerating, that shyt should drop back down to around 2500 rpm.
I have that same car. I freaking love it and it drives so smooth with the CVT
Oh man you up messed up, Nissan cvts are among the least reliable. I’d trade that car in before it breaks
Ignore the bozo in the replies. I’ve had mine since 2017, bought it with 6 miles on it and it’s over 70k now with daily (hard) driving. Altima 3.5SL VQ with CVt = 370z power in an economy sedan car. If YOU are a responsible car owner, your Altima will take care of you. That car has taken a serious beating on the suspension and the trans and it still peddles along regardless.
Yeah don’t listen to me go do your own research, some of these trans are know for failing before the 60k miles but like I said don’t listen to me or him, go do your own research
@@odeefromdawic ur car is at 70k. They go out at 100k like clockwork. Give it another couple years. Nissan's CVT is among the worst transmissions ever made for reliability. Just look at any article about them.
I did hear that Nissan supposedly fixed it, but idk. The older models definitely fail around 100k, the dude above has baby miles on his car.
Well you don’t feel the gear changes from 1 > 2 > 3 etc because it doesn’t have any gears to shift to, it simulates gear shifts
Nissan tech here. Ask your questions ⬇️
When people bring their cars in to the dealer for the service plans, do you change the CVT fluid at a regular mileage interval
😄😄😄cvts take a week to get to 70 mph lmfao
Did he really say it keeps going. Doesn’t every car do that 😭😭
No. Cars change gears automatically
With a CVT there’s only one gear that is infinite
@@See_through866 I know how a cvt works but I just think it’s funny the way he worded it in the video
@@claytondye6046 ah.
@@See_through866 it still "keeps going".
I ran out of gears after 5th. So it obviously shut down and took a smoke break
I will drive this car when im 50
Ever wondered how to drive a car with a CVT as if it had a regular AT😕
Interesting how people hate something so much especially considering they don't use it
It's a bad design and they keep manufacturing it. Cost me $5000 to replace mine at 106,000 miles.
I’ll never understand why they fake shift the cvt just make the cvt function like a cvt should
its all because people want a cvt to feel like a traditional AT even
@@iamgeek01 yeah but at that point just buy a normal automatic if you want it to feel like an automatic smh
True plus it decreases efficiency and maybe 0-60 times
I got lucky to try out a CVT from a lexus and what did it drive beautyful. Never driven something smoother before but sadly they are pretty exspensive in my country.
The best way too see how a CVT works is by putting a maxima in sport mode and flooring it. Instead of pretend shifting, the rpm sits at redline constantly.
I hate them. I like the idea but they have no place in ice engines. They burn up too easily and they’re way too difficult to diagnose when they begin to fail. You really won’t know it’s going out until it’s way too late. Conventional automatics and more so manuals are very easy to purchase second hand because it’s usually pretty obvious when they have a problem. Not so for cvts. Plus a cvt makes every vehicle they’re in feel sluggish and believe it or not they just follow a number of preset gear ranges. It’s not like the computer is smart enough to make micro adjustments like most people think. It allows for a lot more gear ranges with less transmission complexity at the cost of durability and desirability among people who like a car for something more than a commute to work.
This is true. All the benefits of a CVT are not really taken advantage of by car makers. However, a Formula 1 racing team created an extremely effective CVT and it was banned the second time they tested it. It was far superior to traditional automatics. But then again, that is formula 1, no car manufacturer is going to spend the time and money to create a good cvt.
It’s just the way they’re programmed with the gear ranges I ride snowmobiles with cvt transmissions because all do and they accelerate effortlessly and cars could too if the rpm’s stayed up and it didn’t “shift”
@Rusticle 2.0 why is that?
@@Jorge-dw8pb everyone quotes that F1 cvt. What they don't tell you was that after every race the steel belt was replaced as well as the bearings .
@@JohnS-il1dr This was also 1993 with an engine making 900BHP. Technology has had 30 years to progress, automatic transmission technology has now far surpassed manual transmissions as an example. Also mating a similar in concept CVT to a engine today making say 250hp is a very different story to the original and highly experimental cvt mated to a balls to the walls engine in a literal F1. Long time durability is not a concern in F1 whatsoever, the parts they use must last as long as the regs state they must and no further.
You gonna brea that poor jaco transmission
I have hit over 100mph on the interstate daily for 4 years in my VQ Altima and my cvt is still quiet and still pulling hard.
@@odeefromdawic 4 years is not long enough to tell
Bro i thought mine was going out till now cuz of this. It sounds and looks like your reving high asf but i guess thats how it works
In the coming days all will change for CVT automatic,,, these words are coming for a Die Hard Manual Gear Driver,, as in city Bumper to Bumper traffic the gear cars have lost its glory and give us more leg pain peddling the clutch and hand pain by shifting gear from 1st to 2nd nowadays with 20k kms we need to change the gearbox due to constant gear changes n applying the clutch,,so i my self converted to CVT automatic car only if you are in Rural side or drive in high ways you can opt for gear vehicles

@@kettleshot6044 gotta Time it right lmao
Do not buy
Agree
i'd rather learn manuals for 1 year than buy this trans 💀
He’s right when you talk about Nissan transmission in Honda transmission 2006
CVT feels like slipping auto transmission on it’s way out.
We can hope. Cvt ain't natural.
He forgot to mention it feels like your engine is connected to your axle with a rubber band these transmissions are GARBAGE
CVT
C = Continous
V - Vehicle
T - Troubles
Not sure how Nissan managed to royally fuck them up so badly. Honda CVTs are great.
From experience CVT transmissions hesitate too much and this man seems to not have a single clue what he’s talking about, longevity and reliability on CVTs truly suck
You want 2 talk about hesitation? My 2018 sienna with an 8spd auto almost got me killed 3 times from hesitation but my 382k mile cvt altima never has or the 2021 sienna cvt that I drive also.
My 2016 Nissan Sentra does NOT have any hesitation. It feels smooth.
Bro I have a Nissan Sentra 2012 but my shit jumps and take off 🔥🔥😂 when I hit the gas
be careful. worst trans ever
Then that’s not a CVT
it’s like the infinite clutch slip
That when I use the paddle shifters

When I bought a brand new 2015 Altima off the lot, I wasn’t used to not hearing gears shifting and worried if it was going to slip 😂 drive that car to 165k and never had an engine or transmission problem. Only headlights and ac Compressor
The new cvt transmission on the 2022 models and up are better. The revised them after all the backlash
That's why it's called constantly velocity Trans, I personally don't like cvt ,abnormal noises,shudder very common issues in it after 100ks
When the cvt shifts the rpms dont go down all the way like other transmissions it only drops like 2 thousand rpms when it upshifts
my mom bought a car w a cvt in it less than 300 miles in it started having issues. constant servicing for the last year and a half and she’s finally given up and bought a new car.
you still can feel it
Still waiting for my Skyline GTR CVT! 😂
Saul Goodman got released and now he’s teaching about cars
Tbwy work great till they fail at any given time
how are your rpms dropping like its switching gears??? my cvt just stays at 2500 and the speedo goes up. nv200
Duel clutch does everything you mentioned but better
That "wind down and back up" is the programming on the newer CVTs. They are fake "shifts" so the engine doesn't sound so horrid as it holds the RPM.
A good demonstration of the principle would be to accelerate whith fixes rpms
Try it from a stop. Between 30 to 40 there's a lull from it changing from a taller gear ratio to a shorter one. Drove me nuts in my old Pathfinder and it got worse as it aged. Finally, started giving out at 96K. I wasn't about to toss in 5 to 7 grand to fix it.
So when the CVT starts acting up and sounds like a normal transmission you’re screwed right
Feels like a golf kart
It's really silly.
Quick question how does a cvt change gears if it doesnt have gears????
I’m not a cvt fan but people always rant about them being unreliable but Honda has proven many times that the cvt is incredibly durable almost all of their cars use it at this point
Got 09 rouge sl awd with 235467.5 mileage and has just 2years ago been replaced.i just use royal purple hmx oil , mid grade fuel,k&n air . got it from a friend it still looks and smells new..I whould jump in it and drive cross country and back.
Honestly fake shifts are better than no shifts at all. I still think they should go back to the 4 speed torque converters tho. Best transmissions ever made for emotion and comfort.
My 2019 honda civic has a cvt. The RPMs never jump around like this Nissan did.
