no stupid music! no big intro! just straight to it, clearly shown and expained! I LOVE THIS TYPE OF HOW TO!
This is the reason I subscribed 😊
This is the best most detailed transmission video I’ve seen in my entire life. Wow, you guys are amazing. I’d never do this job even being an ex mechanic so this video shows why things cost what they do and the experience they are paying for. Excellent info all around. Thank you for this.
Fabian's expertise with CVT is unmatched. He took the time to take my call while in the middle of his parts replenishment run and helped me get pointed in the right direction. Amazing service and the ability to get you the parts you need to fix your CVT the first time! Can't thank you enough for your time Fabian!!
These guys are great! My Dad has been working on my 09 Volkswagon Rabbit all summer and ran into a problem where he didn't know if he had the right valve body. After calling around with no help all day he finally got ahold of Sunbelt and they were helpful, patient and informative about the specific problem he was having. Thank you guys!
For those who are wondering, "loctite" as suggested in the video is an adhesive/sealer, but the specific variety for transmissions and you will be fine. I followed this video and rebuilt a used CVT transmission from a Nissan Sylphy (Asian variant of the Sentra) successfully. Thanks much for the detailed steps in the video!
I could maybe re-assemble a manual transmission, but these are at another level. They are both a simple concept in a way, but still incredibly complex. Very knowledgeable guys.
The issues I have with this otherwise excellent video are first that it neither finds nor discusses the symptoms of the failing transmission. Second, it doesn’t find anything wrong on disassembly of the transmission, so we learn nothing about the cause of the transmission failure. Please supply those two bits of information in your reply.
Thanks.
There no issues with the transmission obviously they are showing tear down of it
There must be issues it is a used trans. He mentions he still hasn't found the failure in the video!
I have been working on cars for 5 decades as a hobby. I have always driven manual transmissions, ever since my "67 Malibu SS 396 days.
My impression after viewing this: (1) Great video, thanks for uploading it. (2) I don't like all of these electronic sensors and electric switches inside and on the transmission. My current manual is smooth as silk, and it is only gears, bearings, and fluid. No cooler needed, no vacuum line connections, no codes to interpret, etc. (3) After you drive a manual trans for awhile, you will never go back to a CVT or a traditional AT.
bboucharde DCTs are replacing the manuals now due to being quicker in performance and silkier shifting. Shift times are in milliseconds, way faster than any manual. Koenigsegg is currently working on a transmission that shift even faster now. Wouldn’t go back to a manual if you want to outrun people or hit faster lap times.
Jolted Cosmos manual is still more repairable and durable. When the car is in the yard at 101,000 miles, economically destroyed, a couple of tenths of a second 0-60 don’t matter at all. Actually they never did.
777jones No it’s not by modern standards. Lol. Almost any transmission is repairable depending on how it’s built regardless of type. Not sure where you guys be getting your facts from.
Jolted Cosmos do me a favor. Compare used Maserati or Ferrari prices, sequential versus manual. You will see the manual is more valued by collectors - because it sucks so much less.
I think im with you
Best intuitive cvt transmission disassembly on TH-cam so far... "Thanks"
Best video and camera man ,best explanation ,perfect ,keep up the good job,
Warm greeting from iran.
👍👍👍
Nobody fix these units here just change with used one, no good result.
the design and intent behind these transmissions (CVT) is good its not a transmission you can neglect the maintenance on. great upload and thanks for sharing.
No, it is a ticking time bomb.
Wow, this is insane! So many parts to take it apart. I would never be able to put it all back together. I would have so many spare parts left.
Love the comment😂😂
Trust me you could if you wanted to. I was in automotive trade school in the 90s, and I remember doing a standard trans on a 86 Cadillac Fleetwood, that had no reverse. I was on a five man team, and we fixed it. Only did it once in my lifetime, but still cant believe we did it till this day.

For some reason I find this less intimidating than a standard hydraulic automatic transmission like, say, a 200-4R or a 4L60e
This is the very Best vidio on this CVT, I love all the info Fabian puts out. I called him for more info and he made my life easier by sharing his vast knowledge with me. When he explained what I needed to know I had more faith in him than my cardiologist. He even called me a few days later to check on my progress! He's my favorite celebrity. Thank you Bro, grateful to U.
Sounds like everything was good inside the transmission. Nothing was wrong with it. Just put it back together, it will do the same thing
😂😂😂😂
This is a great video. I have watched 4 Nissan CVT disassembles over the last 3 years. There is nothing about these that I want when I replace my current X-trail manual...
New subscriber here you guys are awesome I'm changing a cvt right now on a 2011 versa 1.8 it lasted 156k with regular maintenance I bought a transmission that has 20 k for 1200 hoping all goes well anyway I learned alot from your video great content thanks guys
TH-camrs take notes! This is how you make a good education video! 💯❤️
Thank you. Out here in California lots of cvt cores . Amazing prices. Let me know if u want to come out here I’ll bring your to downtown LA and introduced you to a few core distributors. Thank you again
Oh man, thank you for showing me this... Now i know, time for selling my CVT Nissan Tiida
😂 smart decision,,😎
I sold my 1.8L Versa S years ago, even tho it had a regular 4 speed automatic, but now I see ppl selling their Versas for peanuts, as the SL models came with the CVT. Since Nissan merged with Renault, their quality has gone down the drain.
I am old enough to remember when the Nissan Maxima became Family sports sedan of the year, in the 90-es, it was so good. Nissan should go back to it's rutes and start making reliable cars again. Mazda has gone thru this crap with the Ford merger and since they distanced themselves from Ford, Their vehicle quality came back, up.
@@GiardintekFord had a controlling interest in Mazda from the 70's until 2008 their quality was great until the early 2000's then they had to compete with the lower tier japanese car makers like Mitsubishi and at that time Subaru even Honda's quality dipped in the early 2000's
Nice to see men who know what they are doing at work. I have a Jatco CVT and I am at 60.000 miles now. No problems yet. Impressive how complicated it is. Yet so simple. Tear apart is only half an hour. May a rebuilt do twice as long. Uninstalling and installing maybe 3 hours and relearning half an hour. So you wonder why a rebuild is so expensive??
Turing a screw half a turn: $1
Knowing exactly which screw to turn: $1000
Professionals charge for what they know, not for what they do.
There are so many intricately shaped parts within this single component. It's honestly drool inducing to see them all... That sounds a little wrong, heh.
At any rate, this video would make great reference material for anyone drawing anything mechanical. Especially the CVT belt, that's a very curiously designed part.
Gracias por su buen vídeo.
La tiene publicada en español? Y como la puedo ver?
Woahh!! That was a amazing. I don’t even know if I want to attempt this anymore. You guys are awesome.
I lot of components but i always thought that band with steel pieces was the that fail.. Great video guy
Amazing video for Students. It's define all Structure of CVT Transmission. it's very useful video for study of CVT . Plz make more videos on Gear boxes.
You are easy to listen to. You sound exactly like Mario Andretti. And Thanks for the video on the CVT.
Nissan garage transmission problem
Man these things are tough! The assistant started with a good pair of gloves.
Great video having my 2015 sentra being replaced now,17,000 miles rpm shift, car wouldnt go over 60 mph , Orlando FL viva Costa Rica pura vida
Gracias buenísimo video gracias
Magnífico video, es una lástima que mi Sentra 2013 tenga esta caja, en un magnífico auto pero me equivoqué al comprarlo, mi trasmisión se patina y comienza a jalonearse pero no le acelero mucho para que resista, sin embargo, voy a desarmarla y gracias a su tutorial me decidí a desarmar la caja solo espero que pueda encontrar las piezas en el mercado en especial la horrorosa banda y los trompos si se dañaron...gracias y un saludo desde México City,
Jijo de la maquina, hacer este jale se que te va a requerer mucha paciencia te deseo mucha suerte. A mi me intereso este video porque tengo un amigo con un 2014 y le esta dando problemas. Le vasiamos el aceite apenas y se mira bastante negro (creo que nunca lo habian cambiado) pero no tenia mucho fierro molido, un poco nomas. Le vamos hacer el cambio de aceite con los filtros, pero para mi va seguir igual. Me alegro de tener mi 2005 toyota prius ya alcanza las 300000 millas sin senal de parar aun, esas cvt de esos carros si estan hechos mejores, saludos desde Texas
Mi carnal tambien tiene uno y le esta dando problemas tiene el codigo p285a alguna idea que pueda ser
I think the biggest problem is that Jatco engineers designed them to work purely as CVT's with the steadily increasing ratios but the Nissan engineers decided to put in fake shift points to make people think they are like regular transmissions. The sudden jerking load on the center shaft damages the three splines and the ball bearings. When that goes, it takes the belt with it.
Bingo. All for nothing. Just let it work as it was designed.
Hope you all were watching real careful. The test will be 1/2 hour to put it all back together.
You guys are experts
I can not say anything else, except to say... Woow
Great stuff, always satisfying to see experts at it.
GREAT INFORMATION, WHAT THE PART THAT MAKES SOUND LIKE IT HAS NASTY NOISE INSIDE TRANSMISSION.???
It's my job rebuilding a/t gear box in dubai police workshop, ,the video remind ss to me it's good to work in a complete supplement and proper tools and software, ,,, 18 yrs I'm doing type of profession, ,,,
Damn he's so blase throughout the entire teardown. Like he's somehow hypnotizing viewers, to flock to him, eager to pay their invoices without batting an eye lash.
Couple of snake charmers, is what they remind me of 😂
Rotary vane pumps were originally invented by Charles C. Barnes of Sackville, New Brunswick, who patented it on June 16, 1874. Variable-displacement vane pumps are used as an energy-savings device and have been used in many applications, including automotive transmissions, for over 30 years.
Jatcos🇯🇵 are great. I like them!. Just keep up with CVT oil change 15k & your golden👍
My Cube CVT fluid was black at 50K; been doing drain and fill every 25K, car is pushing 190K. My Nissan Cube was made in Japan.
Yes these need to be serviced very often
Make sure you’re changing the paper cartridge filter each oil change and changing the pan filter at every other oil change.
Nice video.. I'll make sure when ever I buy used the CVT is not bad, if it has any problem will make sure to avoid bad one.
i am a Mechanic from Ghana its intresting to see this what you are doing we have this problems all over hope to see you guys again how to get parts is our problem here thnks i Will be intuch

Rene is really good at his yeb.
My Murano had some CVT issue that required a rebuild. Forget that. Sold it. No more Nissans .
sucxks for both of ya, in a sense i wish cvt's were good, they feel good for driving but reliability keeps me away from them
No more CVT's
My murano 2012 has no cvt issues yet. However the transfer case required a rebuild at 99k that costed $3k...nissan has shitty tranny but solid engine. No more nissan until no more cvt for me
Well, I have wondered how Nissan pulled off a CVT without the reliability issues involving a sheave pulley,,, and while that is cool looking belt technology,,, it clearly ain't for much more than an engineering excersize. That thing would need to be way up sized to have any kind of respectable service life.
What are these things getting on them in miles before they are failing?
Nissan CVTs are junk.
Fantastic to see professional do what they do best
I have the same transmission but with the auxiliary cvt pump attached
I have a rattle in the morning time when I start the car and it sounds like it is coming from the transmission side it only lasts a few minutes and then its fine
I would appreciate if you had any idea what it might be please and thank you
Well done men. Your knowledge is impressive. I own a small dealership and I find auctions have a hard time selling late model nissan of any type from 2013 to 2018. I drive them before the auctions and buy the ones that will respond with a fluid replacement and tell people to have it done every 30k miles. How much are you listing rebuilt CVT transmissions for 2013 Sentra EX ? God bless
Great information , i have one in the shop right now , pan was covered in metal shavings , did a filter , fresh fluid (oem) and it drive good for about a week and now its stuck in first gear ? Im suspect of the solenoids , any ideas ? Gracias Amigos
I had a jatco (4 speed automatic) not CVT. 4 fluid changes within 100k. No issues!🇯🇵
Fluid changes are a must I believe that also. In our case the cvt never had a service interval for it. I think drive it till it broke was their moto!
Hello, very helpful video, would like to ask a question though, whenever i hit acceleration on nissan sentra, car goes perfectly, but after bringing car to full stop it has problems of acceleration afterwards, i thought it could be transmission cvt chain, any help?
I wish there was a CVT shop nearby. I'm thinking about learning to rebuild these (my own CVT needs it soon) but there are no mentors nearby
Looks all good - So whats wrong in there? What made it get pulled? perhaps the valve body.
So pretty much everything was in good shape with this transmission and the teardown was just a demonstration.
First sign of trouble, when you see that tiny bitty chain driving the most critical high pressure oil pump in that CVT. I can't rest assured
Great comments.
Will save this for later.
เข้าใจระบบเกียรcvt ที่สงสัยทั้งหมดขอบคุณสำหรับvdoนี้
Impressive!..So this is what I've let myself in for by buying a new Subaru Outback with CVT transmission. 😯😯
27:03 😂😂 all professional when speaking English but still Mexican. Great video brotha
Be proud Mexican.
Great video, I'll never buy a car with CVT 🤣🤣🤣🤣or GDI Engine
2 things i said i never do either.... and here i am with a DIG and Cvt powertrain combo...
good luck friend the direction we are heading aleast one or the other is going to be a new vehicle you buy
Looks like you better buy chrysler😁
Y la traducción al español?
@PeePee2000 most cars make it to 60k with little to no problems
Just fascinating how complicated a transmission is.
These CVT trans. Are relatively easy compared to normal automatic transmissions.
@@MrDejast lmao nah.
@@chrisl8527 but wouldn’t it be though? Basically continuous gear driven by a chain/belt rather than multiple gear ratios????
as hundreds of parts being removed, i cannot imagine how intelligent the engineers (who designed this module) are.
Unfortunately there was a design flaw that allowed for it to prematurely fail and brake the belt.
Not very, considering that this is a ticking time bomb in 90% of nissans cars...
Not very intelligent CVT piece of shit
@@1289lt ARE YOU A MECHANICAL ENGINEER? CAN YOU DESIGN ONE?
@@demlegaspi he might as well with how shitty the nissan engineers are
Thanks for making this video.
Awsome video good work, i didnt realise a CVT still had the clutch packs but makes sense i guess
Muy buen video ING bien explicado felicidades gracias por su enseñanza saludos
If I just needed to reseal the trans to front cover (bell housing) can I separate it without having to drop the pan and remove valve body & everything else you removed before getting to that stage?
I went to a transmission specialist they tested they said that is good they don't recommend changing or fluid the oil because of later May Fail but I need to know from you guys your recommendation thank you
Thanks for the video I tore my depart now I don't know how to put together a stripped out some bolts Blossom parts now I'm $4,000 in the whole thanks to you
Anthony Maniz haha
What parts are you having issues with ?
I have 2008 toyota camry I'm not getting power to my ignition wire battery new relays new fuse good would a bad neutral safety switch cause this
@@anthonymaniz9896 is it a Hybrid eCVT?
You mean thanks to you
And this why these transmission fail... my 92 nissan sentra has an original engine and transmission with 280k miles . I love it
Nissan was still nissan in 1992. They are owned By crappy renault now ..thus nissan is trash today
Pope Platinum Beats it’s not Renault. Its the shitty Jatco CVT’s. Ive got a 2007 Renault Grand Scenic in the UK with 167k with it’s original transmission and engine. Been a very reliable car.
Pope Platinum Beats They’re implementing DCT’s in some of the Nissan cars now. Hopefully this addresses the previous issues from the CVT’s.
that is not a cvt. first year was 2007
@@carlsnyder1449 bearing in mind, mine is a standard manual transmission but overall reliability has been brilliant with that car. Nothing ever failed on me.
I have this CVT fitted to a Uk Nissan micra with the hr12 3 cylinder engine. I have fault codes P0846 and p0848. I have no drive forward in D or L but it will move in reverse. I have changed the valve body for a recondition unit but still no drive. I have checked the wiring from the Tcm to the valve body multi plug and it’s all good. The feed for the pressure sensor B in neutral is 3+volts and the fsm says it needs to be 0.88-9v. Have you any ideas before I get ripped off by the dealer??? Thanks for any response
Thank you sooo much you explained everything I needed to know guys
did they do away with the stepper motor? mine is a 2017 and it seems to not have it
Great video thank you Rene😅I have a 2009 Altima with a CVT trash mission, i changed the stepper motor, the valve body and my car still driving 20 miles and hr with not reverse, what do you think is the problem with this transmission? Cuanto sale arreglar mi transmision? gracias.
hello!! we are glad you reach us. We can certainly help you.. please contact us to our email info@sunbeltvalvebodies.com thank you
Good afternoon. Please tell me with what force you need to fasten the hydrotransfer to the motor?
Yes that's how complicated cvt gear is ..even though all clutch linings are good when we put it back all part ,theres a problem occured on it sometimes sudden shifting occured ..i think solenoid valve malfunction ..this kind of cvt transmission really confusing me..its not easy to repair.. i prefer to repair ordinary automatic transmission instead this cvt gear..thanks for sharing this video my friend..
Thank Leaf, we don’t need to worry about CVT failing.
Can I remove the variator side only if I just wanted to change the belt?
Hello!
13:54 explain, please, for what is this hole? Does it turn on some gear or just libricate? And where is the exit of this hole?
What was the issue iwth this box? I will be stripping one at the weekend as it has random slips and jolts, hopefully it is obvious when I get it apart
Mine doesnt even engage when i shift from park to drive or reverse. Its like it doesnt engage at all. Any idea? 2014 sentra
If the belt looks good I hope it does not get reused, it wood be a bad deal for the next guy for sure!
I just bought a Nissan Sentra 2016 with 135,000 miles no fluid changes on the transmission do you recommend flush or change oil transmission
Every thing taken apart seems to look good. I read where you said the valve body was the problem. It would have been nice if you included how you determined it was the valve body. Did you disassemble the valve body and find something broken or blown in it. If you reassembled the transmission did you put a new valve body in or did you repair the valve body. Also did you replace all the seals and gaskets and where did you buy them. Did you replace the clutches and any other wear parts. Where did you purchase the parts. Very good video but wish you had video rebuilding it. Do the clutch packs have a min. max. thickness. And do the bolts have a torque spec. and pattern.
There is a TSB for these CVTs where if you get certain TCM codes, then you replace the Valve Body only. I'm about to do this on a 2014 Nissan Sentra that jerks when accelerating but still shift as intended, just experiences RPM drop during accel.
@@scientist100 done yet? Problem solved now? Having the same issue please update me. Thanks
@@AnythingEverythingGh How about yours? Have you solved a problem?
@@robertinogg Nope, replaced tranny
Not too overly complicated, just time consuming. My only question is, if i wanted to change the belt because it broke, can i only just take off the cover to gain access to the belt? Or does the entire thing need to be disassembled like here in the vid? 🤔
great job guys. I'm getting my cvt.. rebuilt now from certified trans in valporaiso indiana , and there rebuilding it today, I told them call me and tell me what part failed. it was running high rmps at high way speed, it would not shift at Hi way speeds. I'm curious to know what happened
I have a 2016 nissan sentra with a p285a code i replace the inside part from the transmission and nothing change the rmp goes up and down. Is there anything else that i should do. Thanks great video
pueden aser un video como armarla trasmission exelente video felisidades. masters 👍💪
AMAZING VIDEO ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐very well done and explained 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Grasias por su explicacion seria vueno aser otro en español para nosotros los hispanos veo k ablan español felicidades
What would cause these transmissions to stop pulling when warmed up?
una pregunta la trasmision de nissan altima 2013 le cae una transmision 2015 ? porfavor me pueden costestar?
If some young cat became an expert at these he’d be set for life. Be like a million Rogues out there on da road. Young peeps don’t like to work these days though.
Thank you guys for doing this!! 😳
My luck, some tiny ball bearings come shooting out from nowhere and set me into a panic.
Freaking funny as hell!!!LOL. I'm the same way and it has happened to me several times.LOL
Hello bro
I ask about open coils solenoid style and close coil solenoid it is the same item action?
Thank you for answer
Excellent job
Has Nissan improved CVT reliability recently compared to years sub 2020?
I have a friend that works in a local Nissan Service Warranty. He mentioned that no matter the millage 39m, 80m, 125m this CVT destroys itself. He recommends the manual one's.
These guys are good, but I wanted to see more.
Have you had to replace the Tom module for DTC code p0845? On the scan tool primary pressure shows zero volts at all times. If I induce 12 volts to the correct wire, scan tool will show 5 volts. Have tripled check my wiring and all ok! There is a technician service bulletin for the programming! We installed a known good trans and still the same problem! Please help
Look at all the bolts below the pan filter WOW!!
Hi guy, I got a question when I do a semistop going around the corner the transmision makes a noise like if gears are ingageging what that could be???
I have 2012 nissan sentra 128,000 miles,sometimes reverse not have power especially when is too cool,what you recommend to fix ot? ,change fluids and filters? Or some sensor? Thanks i hope you can help me.por cierto que buen video.
