Fantastic demonstration, now I feel better about buying a car with a CVT. Your video will be my technical go to if I ever have open one of those, or even understand what is going on driving with one.
Make sure you keep up with maintenance the fluid and there two filters on them that need to be changed. Do your home work and get this done by a qualified trans shop that KNOWS these transmissions inside and out. If they tell you you don't need to do this walk out the door.... they don't know what there talking about.
Your video was super helpful to me. My Mitsubishi Outlander broke down with P0868. I didn't want to spend $20k on an overpriced used car so I bought a junkyard transmission. I have never worked on a transmission before but I was able to follow your steps and replace the transmission pump and flow control valve. My car is running great now for about $2k and my labor.
the one thing they didn't show is the bearing that goes between the forward clutch drum and the reactor plate. it is VERY important to get that bearing installed correctly or you will tear up your reactor plate...ask me how i know...
Thank you for the tear down and inspection for these CVT's. You have renewed my hatred for CVTs. Its simple enough but still got a headache just watching. The CVT-8 is a little different but similar enough
It is an incredible video, all details, information, reminds, very well explained, put the time to do all this, no rush, and what a great instructor. It worked for me as a reality check, that not being a mechanic, I will never be able to do this on my altima 2009 with bad transmission. Thanks very much.
I've been stumped with the stepper motor alignment with the follower pulley listening to backyard mechanics lol now I know the proper way to line it up 😆 thank you
Great video on the disassembly process of JATCO CVT. I personally would never buy another car with a CVT transmission after owning Subaru with one. Never again.
Really nice job of explaining the entire rebuild process start to finish. I have a bad Nissan Jatco in a Cube and I hope I dont have to rebuild it, but could with your video. Thank you!
Uffda...make one mistake and it's junk....just the parts to do a complete rebuild are $1200-1500. A rebuilt one is $2-3 thousand, depending on the model. 3 grand may seem like a lot, but really only 4 monthly payments on the average new vehicle.
I have owned two Dodge Calibers w/CVT and absolutely love these transmissions. They are a very safisticated and mis-understood piece of technology. I wouldn't use these trans missions in a high performance application but as far as I'm concerned for the daily driver looking for economy with a little bit of care and propper maint schedule I've gotten plenty of mi out of them both. My 2009 was sold with 185k mi and my current 2008 has 175k mi and works great. This video was nice to see how they work and the actual what there made of. Again the proper application of this trans it is a marvel to me to see what it is made of. Ty
Hi. Fantastically informative. Thank you. I am in Australia and we have a 2012 Suzuki Swift Sport with CVT. Car has had a young mother and our grand daughter, a novice (but very careful) female as owners of this car from new. Car has only 80K Kilometres on the clock. Within 12 months of our girl getting the car the CVT started slipping and got to the point where it is undriveable. We took it to the Suzuki dealer for diagnosis and quote and the only thing they would contemplate was replacement with a new transmission at a cost of a little over $9K AUD. They refused, or could not give details why the transmission had failed. The car is in beautiful condition but is not worth that much. Other transmission specialists were contacted and all reports were very negative. We were told that these transmission are "Throw away", cannot be repaired, and that the parts are not available anyway. So now we have a nice bright yellow monument sitting on the back lawn. I am an experienced mechanic and your video has given me the incentive to have a shot at repairing it myself. But if the parts I need are not available or prohibitively expensive, I would be wasting my time. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you. Gert Roewer, Jindera NSW Australia.
Thanks for watching the video. 5-7 years ago many shops had the same attitude about rebuilding cvts here in the states. Now many shops are rebuilding these because there are so many out there. I guess in your situation, you’d want to do research to see about parts availability. You might find out how much it would cost to have parts sent from the us to you. Slauson.com has a ton of good used belts and pulleys. The transgo drop in flow control valve is a good product and I’m sure it’s available through parts suppliers worldwide. When you pull it apart, the pulleys might look bad if the belt was slipping, but it’s likely build up and the material will probably clean up. I wrote an article for gearsmagazine.com for their January issue. You can read the magazine online and that issue includes a buyers guide. Download that mag and learn more about the cvt and check out some of the suppliers. You might find what you need!
@@CM-ch5vc No Clive not yet. Granddaughter has another car and this car is gathering dust. I don't have a lot of time but hope to get to it before too long. Has your trans failed too?
@@gertroewer152 no mine hasn't failed, its shuddering on deceleration and sometimes won't up shift if revving around 3-4k rpm, i can also feel what seems to be a slight slip. I think the last person to service the transmission has used the wrong oil type(pink color) I have been sourcing service parts for it from the dealer, all coming from over east or Japan. This sort of explains why the CVT in this has a bad reputation, I think people don't service them or if they do, they dont use oem spec stuff as it's hard to source them locally, also pricey. From what I've gathered, it's very easy to damage with the wrong fluid and recommended is the expensive Suzuki green fluid. I did a drain and fill over the weekend with correct fluid but not much change. I intend on getting a full drain and fill as fluid is still coming up pink when new fluid is green. There is also an external filter which according to suzuki is not a serviceable item, wrong! I had a look at mine and that thing was is extremely dirty for a filter(100k km on car). I have called a number of wreckers around and this transmission is known for its scarcity and quick sell, so even when they have them, they sell them for close to 4k because of this. There's a specialist in NZ that reconditions them and sells them worldwide including Aus. He also supplies parts/guidance to guys that rebuild them here. He wants ~$3,400(2,800 + 600shipping) excluding GST.
Great video explaining and showing how these work, my daughters Mitsubishi CVT just died, I suspect pump or seal, went from working fine to the very next morning a loud whine and low pressure code. As mentioned in other comments the lack of parts to do a full rebuild is what is most scarey in owning one of these, and even more scarce is a new one at a reasonable cost. Feels like 150k is about it. If I owned a lift and unlimited time I would go ahead and pull it out just to do it but sadly not many people do. It seems there is a huge niche for a shop that just does these transmissions and ships them back but I suspect the lack of parts is keeping this from happening.
this is call, professional instructor!!! thank you very much sir, now I know, & I learn a lot from you, how to test valve body, because in honda always recommended replace valve body if there's something problem in gear shifting & have D.T.C. code. now I know, what I will I'm going to do, to test the main valve body. once again thank you very much sir.!!!! God bless you and your house hold, for your sharing with us.
By far the most helpful video yet, my ‘13 3.5 Altima has been doing the classic stuttering since I bought it 20k km ago, haven’t been sure what to do when the trans goes as I’m broke, but I think this might give me the courage to try and take my time rebuilding it when it goes
@@emmancastillojr.5938 yes, helped a bit with the noise coming from manually shifting. The owner before me said it had EVERY fluid changed when I bought it, found out that was all except trans and it had never been done until I did it at ~9.5 years and 135k km. So I think damage is sort of done
@@emmancastillojr.5938do you have any tips on best fluid to put back in these cvt transmissions? Any miracle additives help? ,,mine has started sliping,,only goes 5mph!,,,Help with any advice 😢
If it's slips just do a CVT flush at Valvoline. Do it every 60,000-80,000 miles. Bring your own Nissan CVT fluid then it runs the best. My CVT has 300,000 mile (I drive Uber).
Sean - the no#1 issue with these trannies is wear in the flow control valve in the pump, and the bore can get worn too. This can lead to low pressure and damage to the pulley assemblies. The aftermarket has a fix for this.
Yes sir, I have a video on rebuilding essentials that covers this. One thing I didn’t cover yet is how the inside of the pulley wears like the inside of a barrel. Some builders put .035” piano wire under the seal to take up that lost space. Thanks for watching!
Hi How to come to Saudi Arabia to fix my CVT gearbox for nissan altima L33 😂 Transmission suddenly malfunctions without warning 😂 I contacted with Nissan Saudi Arabia They checked transmission and the problem was the chain was broken.😢 I asked them to fix it but there is no professional technician and the only solution is changing the all cvt gearbox 😭 it costs 9000$ Then i bought used Transmission The i changed the Oil and Filter I see the transmission is good is pure with normal driving but when i put half race the car is sutter sometimes on 4.5 to 5 RPM but with full race it's clear 🤔 I checked out all the car's cumputers are normal every thing is normal So that what do you think about this problem?
I'm astonished to find out that the pulleys don't have threads on them. It's weird that the belt grabs against the flat walls of the pulleys and won't slip. That really blew my mind.
Great, thank you! One question: this wasn't shown in the video, but you obviously took this piece of welding wire (holding the ratio control valve link) out before putting the pan back on? And what happens if you miss this step, do not put anything in that hole? The linkage can fall apart when assembling? And what does it result in, car would not move, or just not shift? Because I have a strong suspicion that the shop which replaced the solenoids on my valve body forgot or didn't know about this step. Thank you!
Thank you for your content, I was wondering about the below: 1. what is the exact purpose of Neutral? Is it just for emergencies such as towing the car, or should we engage neutral at traffic lights etc? 2. Would it be harmful to the transmission to engage in sport mode while on the move i.e for overtaking or for driving uphill? 3. Finally, I was curious on the effects of start/stop systems on CVT's Thank you.
Hello, I have a question. There is a humming sound in the Nissan X Trail 2016 automatic transmission. Everyone says it is normal between 20/40 km/h. What is the solution? It does it even when you slow down.
Have you done a video of 17' honda cvt transmission overhaul? This trans looks very similar but also different in a few ways. Mine has a nasty shutter on acceleration, like a clutch pack gone bad or something. The push belt looks great and the fluid is super clean.
I notice this CVT does not havé any Accumulators. Is that because Accumulators are unique to conventional Linear automatic transmissions in that they are needed for e.g. soft apply unt release timing, where as this CVT has a simple planetary gear set that just needs clutches for reverse (carrier held) und forward clutch only ?????
Where is the lifting points on the transmission for a chain hook up or hook? If the torque converter drop out the bell housing during installation and hit the ground. Can internal damage happen inside of the torque converter?
At 1:08:50 you put in a new oil cooler filter along with a fresh o-ring. Could you list the company and part numbers for the filter and o-ring? Thank you. Happy Motoring.
Wow, outstanding, thank you so much! When they say not to chnage the transmission oil in an older car (200k miles and older), if it was never changed previously, which parts could be impacted in a negative way by the fresh oil?
The main reason people say don’t change the oil on high mileage transmissions is because the new fluid has great detergents that will break loose varnish and gunk and potentially hang up some valves. Varnish doesn’t really build up in transmissions like they used to, so it really shouldn’t make a difference. If your fluid is really dark though, you might be taking a risk.
Done rebuild using the Jatco manual and then found your video, I done everything you explained very well, however no matter how many times I’ve checked behind myself. The forward clutch doesn’t seed flush. What is most common reason for this issue? Thanks Barbara
Good afternoon. I had a secondary rotor failure and changed the complete variator. After the replacement, the vehicle drove 100 miles without any problems, without jerks, it mostly worked great until the pump hummed and suddenly lost power. Now the vehicle runs normally and only suddenly loses power. Do you know what it could be and what to check. Thank you!!
buenos dias, la caja cvt 7 m4m de un spark usa la polea de 29 o 30 dientes, creo que es una jatco jf015e, gracias good morning, the 7 m4m cvt box of a spark uses the 29 or 30 tooth pulley, I think it is a jatco jf015e, thank you
Thank you for this wonderful explanation and dismantling of the CVT transmission , these transmission normally makes whinning noise, where is the whinning noise coming from? ? And what is the best CVT fluid for Nissan Transmission that may make transmission last longer ? ?
Did or does this trans typically have shims in the cover that holds the pully assys? We just took one apart and it has shims. Do we simply put those back?
I'm getting codes for A and B pressure control solenoids. Could that be the valve body? Its a 2014 nissan rogue AWD. It goes in gear then when it time to go to what would be 2nd gear it loses it. Like its slipping.
I've been avoiding Nissan since mine died. Bought an Outlander hoping for the best and now I'm learning this Jatco is also used in my Mitsubishi??? I've ended up here because the car is losing power and I'm 99% sure it's the tranny playing up.... this looks like a marvellous piece of engineering, perhaps still in early stage, and us drivers end up coping the price!
Is there anyway to prolong life on these cvt's ? like flush change filters every year , deeper pan add an aux tranny cooler like on my 4l60E ? I just got a newish mitsubishi with a JFO11E . no issues but i want to try to make it last.
I would like to see a similar video of the K312 transmission for the Toyota C-HR - and find out where the defect is in it. The Turkish CVT transmissions are not holding up well for some reason. There are many reports of this transmission failing in 2018-2020 C-HR models
I'm currently reassembling my transmission and trying to get the cover on the pulleys. What is the length and diameter of the PVC pipes being used for getting the cover back on at the 38min mark?
I am wondering a Sentra 2013 REO11A CVT transmission which other transmission from other Nissan vehicle could work meaning with the part number being different because most of them are same just different numbers my local shop said the juke push to start can’t work due to my Sentra not being push to start put the part number are the same REO11a
Hi i got jeep patriot 2013 mk 2x4 has transmission problem it's says secondary solenoid stuck on . So which solenoid should buy can suite my car please
@@siuautomotive Hello. I work in IT at Parkland, know JR . Done my share of wrenching. My son just ate 5K on his Pathfinder with a CVT which brought me to the video. I'm just amazed at transmissions. Wish I could learn and try a rebuild/repair some day. My sons Pathfinder had the low speed shudder etc. Nice video you guys did. Getting ready to retire in a few years. Maybe I'll drive south and take a auto class. LOL.
Great video. I am hoping you respond. I have a 2009 Nissan Murano with a transmission range sensor issue and when you the gear selector Park and Reverse show on the cluster but no N or Drive and but it does move just limp power. P0705 is the code so I am trying to figure where the trans Range sensor is or the nuetral switch is? I did replace the stepper motor but did not check that the rod it connects to that springs and moves freely but i plan to go back in and check it out. Can i send you a video of my valvebody so you can see it operate without the pan on to see what my problem is? Do you have an email? Your thoughts? Thank you
Thanks for the great video ; Ihave a 2007 4x4 Patriot the rpm jumps after 140km/h but no more speed.That started after I flushed the cvt oil and changes the filters. what do you think the problem is thanks
My CVT transmission on my Mitsubishi doesn’t shift gears automatically while on drive (D)mode it remains on 1st gear. When I use manual mode (+/-) gears shifts smoothly. Do you have an idea how to solve this issue ?
I have to ask, I have a 2016 jeep compass that I believe has a plugged up valve body. But all the mopar recommended remain valve body are pushing 1,000$ could I get away with using one Im searching for a Nissan rogue? They look exactly the same but Im not sure if they are.
Nissan still uses jatco cvt? Do they have more reliable cvts recent batches? 2020 was the worst year of nissan because of many faulty cvts reported. Please share your thoughts on jatcos cvt after 2020, have they improved the reliability?
I swapped out the stepper motor on mine yesterday but since my transmission is stuck in high ratio I don't think the stepper motor lever engaged properly 😕 I did the pin trick to hold it in place but again, I'm guessing that doesn't work if it's stuck in high ratio. Anyone have any tips? Can I move the high ratio pulley to the low spot manually?
How durable is the belt? Mine in Dodge Caliber 2.4L is currently at 220_000 km. Fluid changes every 30_000 km with full flushing and filter replacement. Still works super smooth and super quiet (as for CVT), never slips, never overheats. But I'm afraid a bit about sudden belt snap in most unconvenient situation. Are there any warning signs that the belt is going bad?
238,000 mile cvt, transmission fluid and filter was never changed, started throwing codes U0402 & U0101 and going into limp mode, clearing codes with scanner and transmission worked perfectly for a few miles to a hundred or so miles. Transmission temperature warning dash light blinked once,a minute or two later check engine light illuminates and trans goes back into limp mode until cleared with scanner. Changed fluid and filter, now trans stays in low gear. thinking I might put old fluid back in transmission. Does anyone have an idea what is causing the problem ? Checked all wiring bundles and TIPM
Good morning.I would like to know at what mileage it is advisable to partially or completely replace the oil and filters. Congratulations for the video that is made and explained really well. Many thanks
I'd change (part-flush!) the oil at half the maker's recommended interval and do the filters at the rec'd interval. You must use the recommended oil. Also watch The Wizard on u tube.
thank you for the valuable advice. I have one last question: excuse me but where do I find the Wizard on you tube. can you point me a link. thank you and have a good day.
I have a 2009 2.4 Lancer CJ VRX CVT with 150k. When an manual mode (paddle shifters) is it normal for the transmission to not follow the engine rpms? (Accelerate hard at 4k rpm, engine and transmission go for a bit, but then, revs fall back and go up again... ) Not sure if the ECU is cutting power to the engine or the transmission cannot keep up and slips until it finally catches on and the car accelerates. Thanks.
In manual mode, they will not typically bounce off a rev limiter. It will continue to adjust ratio when you're engine RPM has picked up to a point. Many newer vehicles simulate gear shifts this way. I'm not sure if what you are experience is a problem. I suspect it's not slipping, or the TCM would set a code.
@@siuautomotive Many thanks, I have been told that it is the TCM/ECU cutting power to avoid damage to the CVT belt. It can only be solved via tuning. I will continue to save up to buy a DCT car 👍
Is the output sensor the primary or secondary sensor? My transmission is misbehaving and I was informed to change them first before I changed the whole trans
To report back, I changed the gearbox speed sensors and shifting is back to normal. My remaining problem is that of low transmission pressure when I cruise the vehicle. I am worried about having to remove the whole trany to just change the oil pump as the local mechanic says if it doesn't work we have to buy another gearbox.
The tiptronic pads completely stopped working right. I may have worn it out as most overtaking I used pads shifts to accelerate faster. Don't install pad shifts on weak transmission 🤗😁
Hi. Great video! I been messing with my moms cvt using this video as a guide. I wanna rebuild it in the future but I have a question. Where do you source a kit to overhaul all these parts on these JF011e's? Finding stiff online but some of it doesn't seem to trust worthy.
Great video I have a 2004 Nissan Murano. And I would like a quote from you how much to rebuild one or do you have one already built. And if so how much
Does anyone know a fix for p0722? My transmission does not change between any gears P R N D. Attempting to fix a 2011 Suzuki Kizashi with this transmission. Will swapping the solenoids or output speed sensor fix the issue? Thanks in advance and great video!

Awesome job of explaining The entire rebuild procedure, Thank you Sir!
If it's slips just do a CVT flush at Valvoline. Do it every 60,000-80,000 miles. Bring your own Nissan CVT fluid then it runs the best. My CVT has 300,000 mile (I drive Uber).
Honestly man, this stuff needs to be changed in the Nissans every 20 to 30 K and you’ll have no problems with them
Quite an educational video. Masterful display of the technique. Congratulations!
Good job explaining the details, gave me the confidence as far as the jf-1 puller, good luck finding it available. The posi lock 210 worked great.
Sean - the no#1 issue with these trannies is wear in the flow control valve in the pump, and the bore can get worn too. This can lead to low pressure and damage to the pulley assemblies. The aftermarket has a fix for this.
Yes sir, I have a video on rebuilding essentials that covers this. One thing I didn’t cover yet is how the inside of the pulley wears like the inside of a barrel. Some builders put .035” piano wire under the seal to take up that lost space. Thanks for watching!
Very skilled with that speed handle.
Hi
How to come to Saudi Arabia to fix my CVT gearbox for nissan altima L33 😂
Transmission suddenly malfunctions without warning 😂
I contacted with Nissan Saudi Arabia They checked transmission and the problem was the chain was broken.😢
I asked them to fix it but there is no professional technician and the only solution is changing the all cvt gearbox 😭 it costs 9000$
Then i bought used Transmission
The i changed the Oil and Filter
I see the transmission is good is pure with normal driving but when i put half race the car is sutter sometimes on 4.5 to 5 RPM but with full race it's clear 🤔
I checked out all the car's cumputers are normal every thing is normal
So that what do you think about this problem?
I'm astonished to find out that the pulleys don't have threads on them. It's weird that the belt grabs against the flat walls of the pulleys and won't slip. That really blew my mind.
Great, thank you! One question: this wasn't shown in the video, but you obviously took this piece of welding wire (holding the ratio control valve link) out before putting the pan back on? And what happens if you miss this step, do not put anything in that hole? The linkage can fall apart when assembling? And what does it result in, car would not move, or just not shift? Because I have a strong suspicion that the shop which replaced the solenoids on my valve body forgot or didn't know about this step. Thank you!
Outstanding video the best I saw so far Mark Mangano dependable auto thank you so much
Thank you for your content, I was wondering about the below:
1. what is the exact purpose of Neutral? Is it just for emergencies such as towing the car, or should we engage neutral at traffic lights etc?
2. Would it be harmful to the transmission to engage in sport mode while on the move i.e for overtaking or for driving uphill?
3. Finally, I was curious on the effects of start/stop systems on CVT's
Thank you.
How did I not see your channel before .. fantastic, thank you subscribed!
This man is a national treasure.
Hopefully I don’t need all of this, but this video should be very handy in the coming months when I go to do a mild recondition on my JATCO CVT.
Hello, I have a question. There is a humming sound in the Nissan X Trail 2016 automatic transmission. Everyone says it is normal between 20/40 km/h. What is the solution? It does it even when you slow down.
So these transmissions can be repaired. I'm about to dig into mine this week
Great video Sr and super easy to understand, thank you for being good human being and shearing your knowledge
Have you done a video of 17' honda cvt transmission overhaul? This trans looks very similar but also different in a few ways. Mine has a nasty shutter on acceleration, like a clutch pack gone bad or something. The push belt looks great and the fluid is super clean.
✴ BUEN DIA GRACIAS POR SU APORTE , SALUDOS DESDE MONTERREY MEXICO ✴
very good this is a complete training thank you for your time
I notice this CVT does not havé any Accumulators. Is that because Accumulators are unique to conventional Linear automatic transmissions in that they are needed for e.g. soft apply unt release timing, where as this CVT has a simple planetary gear set that just needs clutches for reverse (carrier held) und forward clutch only ?????
Where is the lifting points on the transmission for a chain hook up or hook? If the torque converter drop out the bell housing during installation and hit the ground. Can internal damage happen inside of the torque converter?
Have you done a stripping down and rebuild of a 2000 Honda logo sportic Ts transmission please thanks
At 1:08:50 you put in a new oil cooler filter along with a fresh
o-ring. Could you list the company and part numbers for the filter and o-ring? Thank you. Happy Motoring.
Wow, outstanding, thank you so much! When they say not to chnage the transmission oil in an older car (200k miles and older), if it was never changed previously, which parts could be impacted in a negative way by the fresh oil?
The main reason people say don’t change the oil on high mileage transmissions is because the new fluid has great detergents that will break loose varnish and gunk and potentially hang up some valves. Varnish doesn’t really build up in transmissions like they used to, so it really shouldn’t make a difference. If your fluid is really dark though, you might be taking a risk.
Done rebuild using the Jatco manual and then found your video, I done everything you explained very well, however no matter how many times I’ve checked behind myself. The forward clutch doesn’t seed flush. What is most common reason for this issue? Thanks Barbara
Good afternoon. I had a secondary rotor failure and changed the complete variator. After the replacement, the vehicle drove 100 miles without any problems, without jerks, it mostly worked great until the pump hummed and suddenly lost power. Now the vehicle runs normally and only suddenly loses power. Do you know what it could be and what to check. Thank you!!
Can I find the data sheet of the jatco transmission model number used in the Qashqai j11 2016 model cvt?
buenos dias, la caja cvt 7 m4m de un spark usa la polea de 29 o 30 dientes, creo que es una jatco jf015e, gracias
good morning, the 7 m4m cvt box of a spark uses the 29 or 30 tooth pulley, I think it is a jatco jf015e, thank you
where are you all finding just the pulleys and chain/belt for a JF017E?
Can you replace the valve body and the.gears with the belt without taking off the transmission from the engine???
Thank you for this wonderful explanation and dismantling of the CVT transmission , these transmission normally makes whinning noise, where is the whinning noise coming from? ? And what is the best CVT fluid for Nissan Transmission that may make transmission last longer ? ?
Hi how to identify the right position of the drive sprocket...I tried to look for during the video but I can't see that ...
Did or does this trans typically have shims in the cover that holds the pully assys? We just took one apart and it has shims. Do we simply put those back?
I'm getting codes for A and B pressure control solenoids. Could that be the valve body? Its a 2014 nissan rogue AWD. It goes in gear then when it time to go to what would be 2nd gear it loses it. Like its slipping.
Interesting video on CVT
I've been avoiding Nissan since mine died. Bought an Outlander hoping for the best and now I'm learning this Jatco is also used in my Mitsubishi???
I've ended up here because the car is losing power and I'm 99% sure it's the tranny playing up.... this looks like a marvellous piece of engineering, perhaps still in early stage, and us drivers end up coping the price!
Been around 50 yrs or so.
Can you tell me what all the torque specs are for doing this rebuild? With a 2010 nissan altima cvt?
Is there anyway to prolong life on these cvt's ? like flush change filters every year , deeper pan add an aux tranny cooler like on my 4l60E ? I just got a newish mitsubishi with a JFO11E . no issues but i want to try to make it last.
Unbelievable! This video is a Godsend! Thank you sir.
Can you do a Jatco re4r01a tranismission overhaul video? They are pretty common in a lot of Nissan/Infiniti cars/trucks
I would like to see a similar video of the K312 transmission for the Toyota C-HR - and find out where the defect is in it. The Turkish CVT transmissions are not holding up well for some reason. There are many reports of this transmission failing in 2018-2020 C-HR models
I'm currently reassembling my transmission and trying to get the cover on the pulleys. What is the length and diameter of the PVC pipes being used for getting the cover back on at the 38min mark?
@siuautomotive could you tell me the lengths and diameter of the PVC pipes used to help position the pulleys to help get the case on? Thanks!
How do you know if belts are damaged in cvt transmission, will it move or any noises
a tech for aamco needs to watch this since he couldnt fix mine for 5 times and a total of 7 weeks within 3k miles
The reverse piston spring is there another name for it or a part #? I looked it up cant find it
I am wondering a Sentra 2013 REO11A CVT transmission which other transmission from other Nissan vehicle could work meaning with the part number being different because most of them are same just different numbers my local shop said the juke push to start can’t work due to my Sentra not being push to start put the part number are the same REO11a
My jeep compass 2008 2.4l is only driving with one gear and not changing to other gear what could be the problem?
Thank you for your time and knowledge.
Does one have to coat belté in Trans Gel beforé Assembly ????
Will a 2006 Nissan Altima CVT interchange with a 2013 Jeep Compass CVT???
Hi i got jeep patriot 2013 mk 2x4 has transmission problem it's says secondary solenoid stuck on . So which solenoid should buy can suite my car please
Very nicely done! Thank you!
Thank you very much for your time and knowledge. Great Video !! Here Carlos from Brazil
Well done. very informative and detail. You make it look easy but I know it is not.
Greetings from your neighbor of the north - Parkland College. Nice video !
Hello there Mark! Thanks for watching and say hi to everyone for us. I was just talking about AJ Ross today. Hope things are going well for you all!
@@siuautomotive Hello. I work in IT at Parkland, know JR . Done my share of wrenching. My son just ate 5K on his Pathfinder with a CVT which brought me to the video. I'm just amazed at transmissions. Wish I could learn and try a rebuild/repair some day. My sons Pathfinder had the low speed shudder etc. Nice video you guys did. Getting ready to retire in a few years. Maybe I'll drive south and take a auto class. LOL.
Great video. I am hoping you respond. I have a 2009 Nissan Murano with a transmission range sensor issue and when you the gear selector Park and Reverse show on the cluster but no N or Drive and but it does move just limp power. P0705 is the code so I am trying to figure where the trans Range sensor is or the nuetral switch is? I did replace the stepper motor but did not check that the rod it connects to that springs and moves freely but i plan to go back in and check it out.
Can i send you a video of my valvebody so you can see it operate without the pan on to see what my problem is?
Do you have an email?
Your thoughts? Thank you
Thanks for the great video ; Ihave a 2007 4x4 Patriot the rpm jumps after 140km/h but no more speed.That started after I flushed the cvt oil and changes the filters.
what do you think the problem is thanks
Nice job, I work in this field, my favorite job.
My CVT transmission on my Mitsubishi doesn’t shift gears automatically while on drive (D)mode it remains on 1st gear. When I use manual mode (+/-) gears shifts smoothly. Do you have an idea how to solve this issue ?
I have to ask, I have a 2016 jeep compass that I believe has a plugged up valve body. But all the mopar recommended remain valve body are pushing 1,000$ could I get away with using one Im searching for a Nissan rogue? They look exactly the same but Im not sure if they are.
Nissan still uses jatco cvt? Do they have more reliable cvts recent batches? 2020 was the worst year of nissan because of many faulty cvts reported. Please share your thoughts on jatcos cvt after 2020, have they improved the reliability?
I hear grinding from from where the axel fits into the drive gear at stop and go crawling speeds. Is this normal?
I swapped out the stepper motor on mine yesterday but since my transmission is stuck in high ratio I don't think the stepper motor lever engaged properly 😕 I did the pin trick to hold it in place but again, I'm guessing that doesn't work if it's stuck in high ratio.
Anyone have any tips? Can I move the high ratio pulley to the low spot manually?
If I was able to Get a New CVT would it be easyier to just take my TCM out and switch them so I don't have to deal with Nissan for a Flash???
How durable is the belt? Mine in Dodge Caliber 2.4L is currently at 220_000 km. Fluid changes every 30_000 km with full flushing and filter replacement. Still works super smooth and super quiet (as for CVT), never slips, never overheats. But I'm afraid a bit about sudden belt snap in most unconvenient situation. Are there any warning signs that the belt is going bad?
If you swap the bell housing can you put a Nissan Roque CVT in say a Suzuki kizashi?
Do you know how many teeth are on the drive pulley for the JFE011 in a Chevy Spark? It should be either 29 or 30
238,000 mile cvt, transmission fluid and filter was never changed, started throwing codes U0402 & U0101 and going into limp mode, clearing codes with scanner and transmission worked perfectly for a few miles to a hundred or so miles. Transmission temperature warning dash light blinked once,a minute or two later check engine light illuminates and trans goes back into limp mode until cleared with scanner. Changed fluid and filter, now trans stays in low gear. thinking I might put old fluid back in transmission. Does anyone have an idea what is causing the problem ? Checked all wiring bundles and TIPM
Good morning.I would like to know at what mileage it is advisable to partially or completely replace the oil and filters. Congratulations for the video that is made and explained really well. Many thanks
I'd change (part-flush!) the oil at half the maker's recommended interval and do the filters at the rec'd interval. You must use the recommended oil. Also watch The Wizard on u tube.
thank you for the valuable advice. I have one last question: excuse me but where do I find the Wizard on you tube. can you point me a link. thank you and have a good day.
I have a 2009 2.4 Lancer CJ VRX CVT with 150k. When an manual mode (paddle shifters) is it normal for the transmission to not follow the engine rpms? (Accelerate hard at 4k rpm, engine and transmission go for a bit, but then, revs fall back and go up again... ) Not sure if the ECU is cutting power to the engine or the transmission cannot keep up and slips until it finally catches on and the car accelerates. Thanks.
In manual mode, they will not typically bounce off a rev limiter. It will continue to adjust ratio when you're engine RPM has picked up to a point. Many newer vehicles simulate gear shifts this way. I'm not sure if what you are experience is a problem. I suspect it's not slipping, or the TCM would set a code.
@@siuautomotive Many thanks, I have been told that it is the TCM/ECU cutting power to avoid damage to the CVT belt. It can only be solved via tuning. I will continue to save up to buy a DCT car 👍
Is the output sensor the primary or secondary sensor? My transmission is misbehaving and I was informed to change them first before I changed the whole trans
To report back, I changed the gearbox speed sensors and shifting is back to normal.
My remaining problem is that of low transmission pressure when I cruise the vehicle. I am worried about having to remove the whole trany to just change the oil pump as the local mechanic says if it doesn't work we have to buy another gearbox.
The dashboard blinks A then the current gear position.. Tried changing transmission range sensor but not gotten a good one yet.
The tiptronic pads completely stopped working right. I may have worn it out as most overtaking I used pads shifts to accelerate faster.
Don't install pad shifts on weak transmission 🤗😁
Can you do a video on the re0F10E way different than the a/b
Hi. Great video! I been messing with my moms cvt using this video as a guide. I wanna rebuild it in the future but I have a question. Where do you source a kit to overhaul all these parts on these JF011e's? Finding stiff online but some of it doesn't seem to trust worthy.
Which solenoid that causes the po776 code its called the B solenoid which one? Thanks
This gentleman is very good. Have a lot of patience. And knows how to explain
He should become an instructor. Lol
Great video I have a 2004 Nissan Murano. And I would like a quote from you how much to rebuild one or do you have one already built. And if so how much
I'm rebuilding a RE0F09B I need pulleys and belt can I use them from a RE0F09A?
Does anyone know a fix for p0722? My transmission does not change between any gears P R N D. Attempting to fix a 2011 Suzuki Kizashi with this transmission. Will swapping the solenoids or output speed sensor fix the issue? Thanks in advance and great video!
