@FarmCraft101 fun fact about these kind of transmissions, in the early '60 Daf made a car with a variomatic transmission wich works similar to this but with weight distribution. It's said that they drove backwards at the same speed they could drive forwards.

This will be a life-changer for some high school kid! As a teacher in WV, it's not uncommon to have kids that don't have a family vehicle and I've had quite a few who have never left our county (yes, county not country). Something many of us take for granted could be the ticket for making a kid successful in life.

Thanks! Good luck to the lucky student that needs a car God Bless for what you are donating your time for a stranger My 2015 nissan sentra with 40000 miles cvt went out it was 4800 bucks wwith labor to get a factory cvt with year warranty and i drive in rural area and at 52 yrs old i dont horse it unreal when they took it apart. Never get a cvt trans go manual
How does one person know so much!!!! John you are unbelievable to me. From electrical, to mechanical, to timber and construction to operating to farming and raising cows. I’m just blown away by what you know and what you can do. Plus you know how to film and edit and post videos and you are a great teacher.
One thing you might want to consider doing too, is checking with the school to see if they would do a driver training course, my high-school had a car that students could use after school to learn how to drive, with a driving instructor of course, also teaching in a classroom saftey and what not, and it would help them get their license aswell, might not be a bad idea.
The half shaft you're dealing with has 2 CV joints. An outboard Rzeppa joint that has 6 balls riding in grooves and an inboard plunging Tripod joint. The inboard plunges to accommodate the change in required length as the suspension swings through its range of motion. This configuration is very common in modern passenger vehicles. Each style joint has its own pros and cons and when used in this combination, you get a pretty good solution. Thank you for tearing into the CVT, it was fun to see it's internals!
Nice work on taking this cvt out. Would like to offer my 2 cents and share some of the common issues with these cvt transmissions...1) the pump flow valves on the pump itself usually get scorched up and or jammed and need to be updated. 2) the secondary pulley does most of the work in this unit. You have to dismantle it with special tools otherwise you risk hurting yourself. The 2nd half of the pully that slides up and down to change the gear ratio, it slides on 3 small ball bearings grooved into the shaft which usually eat out the shaft. You can upgrade those ball bearings to solid pins. 3) Behind the secondary pully theres a piston with a big black Teflon ring which usually get chewed up and embedded with metal filings from the wear and tear and stops holding pressure. The pulley works at about 500-800psi of pressure. Depending on damage, both might need changing. 4) sometimes when you take apart the Pulleys you discover they have snapped inside and need replacement. 5) Since the secondary pulley is the most used, the secondary pulley valve in the valve body gets worn out. It should be inspected. 5) The belt has small vertical grooves on it's edges of the elements. They usually get scorched and belt starts to slip and requires replacement. 6) Make sure to inspect the surface of the Pulleys as they should be smooth without any grooves. 7) Depending on the type of driving and mileage, might be a good idea to replace the torque converter. 8) Make sure you get the Nissan cvt oil when it's all said and done. Hope this helps!
CVT trans. are the worst auto inventions of the last 50 yrs....why ,,engineers whyyyyy????What was wrong with the regular automatic trans??? Well i know what the answers are gonna be ...!!!!
Thanks! That CVT drive, is also called a Reeves Drive. I see them a lot, on older Jet (and other) wood lathes. My antique Cast Iron ShopSmith Model 10 had one as an option. (Funny, ShopSmith has been going downhill since 1954.) Give this youngster a decent running car. Ask me if you want a real Craftsman ratchet or 3 to give as well. 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2. steve

@@videodistro USA has shitty public transportation. There should be a high speed train system like in china, japan. In rural areas you can jump on a high speed train to the capital city 500 miles away, for 20 dollars.
@@tallswede80 It's not a rural area if there's a train station within walking distance. Some of us like being as far away from those sorts of things as possible.
@@unitedgray that's not true though. Even in the united states, a train route may connect two cities, but along the way, there are optional stops in the middle of nowhere to serve rural areas. 10-20 miles can be covered easily on a bicycle. there has been little investment in trains however. There should be a high speed train around the great lakes connecting green bay and milwaukee with new york city.
@@tallswede80 97% of the US landmass is rural and 10 miles is nothing in a rural area. These stops would be significantly farther than 10 miles apart. Additionally people that live in rural areas aren't traveling from city to city...they're traveling to other rural areas. And if it's anything more than a day trip, they're certainly not going to do it by some combination of train and bicycle. That's incredibly inconvenient and down right impossible in many areas. No one is going to lug a suitcase on their bicycle for 10+ miles in the middle of winter in the Midwest to get to a train.

Thank you massively for doing this, and for making people aware of geographic isolation, because city people just can't understand.
Hey Farmcraft. Car detailer here. If you want to fix those headlights (get rid of the oxidised plastic) use 1500 grit wet sandpaper in a side to side motion spraying water on it. Then 2000 grit up and down (all over) then use a polish compound and machine polisher (neumatic drill/hand) to finish. Makes the car really pop for the lucky kiddo. Great job :)

One more thing we need is more people like you man! This is really a true statement of the kind of people you are....one of the good ones ! God bless you and thanks for helping those in need to make that so difficult first step.
As far as I know CVT "belts" don't stretch as nothing pulls on them. The belt is comprised of elements held together with bands, their only job is to hold the elements together. Torque is transmitted though the element stack by pushing on the stack. It's possible that it's just the pulleys and belt that have just worn down, replacement sets aren't that expensive online... Good luck and happy new year!
You’re doing a good thing, I commend you. FYI it’s a good idea to secure the steering wheel anytime the column shaft is disconnected so the airbag clockspring doesn’t get damaged.
You never cease to surprise and impress, John. And you're absolutely correct that rural areas have no easy fixes for transportation. One thing, if I'm not mistaken, the Rogues need entire driveshafts when u-joints go. Had a friend with a circa 2010(?) that found that out the hard way to the tune of $1000.
You can replace the inner cv boot on the drive shaft. There's a spring clip on the inside of the housing. Flick that out and the shaft will separate, leaving the three bearings held to the stub with an external circlip.
Talk about a motivating video! About time someone reminds us what life is all about. Giving back….remember when you needed help? I know I do, and I sure wish I had more people in my life who lifted me up. My sons loved this video, informative and powerful. Way to go John!! Supporter for Life!!
I would strongly recommend adding additional transmission fluid cooling. I had a 2012 Altima that went through a couple of CVTs one under warranty, and another on my dime. I added an additional oil cooler with the third trans and it did much better. That generation of Nissan CVT had a horrible issue with the fluid getting hot and then the torque converter lockup was inconsistent which if you are lucky puts you in limp mode, if you are not causes all kinds of stress on the rest of the transmission. The torque converter continuously slipping is not ideal but does not really damage anything. Having it lockup randomly after slipping and when your RPMs are way up kills those belts. Kinda like popping the clutch on a manual all the time, and not just from a standstill. Half the milage of the vehicle was on that last transmission and it was going strong when we sold it. The thing looked brand new inside and out and if it had a manual transmission somebody in the family would still be driving it.
I hope that he sees your post. This is the sort of feedback he was asking for and he sounds like he has the funds to do this sort of thing as well. Maybe give some more specifics of the way that you set it up and hopefully you will get some more thumbs up and he might notice your post.
In all, I’ve read so much about Nissans and the 4 cylinder cut transmissions that are horrible. So you wouldn’t recommend anyone purchase a used vehicle in you opinion?
Good job sir! Actually a friend from church gave me Nissan rogue 2013 because I didn't have a car and I couldn't afford one but now it needs transmission, I'm driving it with the transmission challenge and trusting God for a miracle of some kind.

I had a 2011 Nissan Rouge I did the Same thing I gave the car away then I paid haft of the new Transmission witch was 5200 dollars so a stranger got a car with 90 k on it for 2600 dollars. Will never purchase another vehicle with a CVT transmission. Love what your doing!!!

You are a gem sir! Giving a boost to a kid ! Is commendable! I had a transmission guy explain about this type of trans. he described it an educated snowmobile trans? I was borrowing a friends car to discuss my Chevys trans and he made a comment so I passed on info and my friend sailed that vehicle to the trade in lot !
In my area Nova Scotia 🇨🇦150,000 miles( 241,000KM) with the salt they use on the roads and the last few years brine as well. You would need a torch for almost every bolt or nut. If it was even worth fixing with the amount of rust. Undercoating is our friend. 👍

38:45 it’s always humbling to do it the old way. Even though I have a zero turn I take out the old Honda and walk around to put into perspective how nice the zero turn is.
With a few more bolts, could drop engine/transmission together. It will be lot easier putting back in car. It was put in as a drive unit on factory line.

The problems is not CVT....99.9999% people who owned them never changed transmission fluid....you suppose to read owner manual when and under certain condition at what mileage to change the fluid.....get it!
@@peterta5035 I don't know if it's the case with these, but I know thst other manufacturers (I'm looking at you, Toyota) are advancing the lie that you don't *need* to change transmission fluid. They seal the transmission and declare it to be filled with "lifetime fluid". And they're right...if you don't ignore the OEM and change the fluid, it *will* last the lifetime of the transmission. In fact, it will *define* the lifetime of the transmission...and that "lifetime" will be much shorter than it the owner will think it should be.
If you do proper maintenance on them , and don't ignore transmission fluid and filter change every 25,000 to 30,000 miles you will be fine , did you see the color of the fluid he pulled out of that transmission ? It was never changed from the looks of it , nothing lasts forever !
Of all the videos I watch on youtube I enjoy yours the most. You now have taken on a project that is over the top. Giving back is the best act of kindness known to man. Thank you and I look forward to watching the progress on the vehicle.
I bought my 17 yo daughter a 2014 Mazda 6 with about 100k miles last year in mint condition, paid 10k for it from a private seller (absolute steal at the time). She got into an accident, where the front was moderately damaged, car still ran and kind of drove but the insurance company totaled it still. Got a check from them for almost 15k, point is there was a not ton of damage and they still totaled it because it costs an absolute fortune nowadays to repair these more modern cars.
It is very expensive to repair modern cars but that's almost completely because the modern cars are designed to absorb The energy from a crash preventing your body from having to absorb it. What was a moderate accident with I'm assuming pretty minor injuries in that car could have been a tragedy in a car made 40 years ago.
@@FarmCraft101 Often, cars that are "totalled" end up being repaired and body cleaned up overseas where they are sold and used again. Many countries don't have the same safety standards as the USA. They are sold for more then parts in the US, but still a lot cheaper then a new vehicle.
I was looking at all the donations for the car. I don't think it'll take that long for the car repairs to be paid off. And I'm so glad that I could finally help with something I can believe in!
This is by far my favorite channel on RUclips. Love the content and your drive to not only learn, but teach others as well. I'm a mechanical engineer myself and am always impressed by your affinity to understand various mechanisms, you have a great grasp on many topics. Humble selfless acts like this are just the cherry on top, keep up the good work!
The ball bearings that allow for the clutch to go in and out get out of round. Causing the belt to slip. And can be remedied by using a couple of drill bits welded into place of the ball bearings. Then the cones can go up and down the way it did from the factory. Good luck with your project.
I fixed a Subaru Justy CVT with the same issue, couldn't afford the parts so I welded stuff, it ran for a week and blew up again but I got to see the inner magic workings of the CVT, it was worth it. I enjoy all your videos because I have mostly been there & done that, keep up the good work.
I have a Murano with 90K and the most important thing you can do to increase the transmissions life is to change the oil just like you would on a normal automatic, every 30K and you must use the expensive Nissan transmission fluid. I do agree that these are not the best, especially compared to the 7-9 speed automatic’s that are out now. Jon, your the best, living the golden rule. Thanks for all the knowledge you have share on this channel. Keep it up!!!
100% truth in changing the fluid and using Nissan fluid. My company had a fleet of Nissans and the only CVT failure in that fleet happened on a 10 year old Altima with close to 190k miles on it. Fluid changed every 30k with Nissan fluid.
My husband and I really enjoy your vids. You're a very talented man & obviously take a lot of pride in your work.

Cheers, Susan & Dennis
some of these comments astound me. Definitely entitled people who have no clue that there are people out there who drive cars in much worse condition than this one with far more problems and they rely on them to get them to school, work, etc. There are SO MANY people who would greatly appreciate a decent vehicle that has had some maintenance on it (including a MAJOR repair like new transmission) if it will get them reliably to and from where they need to go for any length of time (week, month, year, 5 years, etc.). I applaud this initiative and was happy to see the follow up video with the give away. There person truly appeared to appreciate it. I would like to see more of this type of video from you, but given there have been none since, I assume you determined it was not a good use of your time (that's sad actually).
It was just far more difficult to do than you might think. Liability, release forms, taxes…I know it seems like it would be easy to give a car away but there’s a lot involved. I’ll probably do some more in the future though. We’ll see. Cheers.
Thought I would share my experience repairing a Murano RE0R09A 4wd CVT gearbox which was shuddering when you came to a stop. Also shuddered when you pulled away causing it to go 9into limp mode. RE0R09A is basically a stronger version of the Roque CVT RE0R010A. CVT's operate with a high fluid pressure which is key the belt not slipping. With my repair I initially removed the valve body only, leaving the gbox in the car. I stripped the Valve body down, removed and cleaned the pistons in the valve body, cleaned the valve body sections and reassembled. Installed a new oil filter and new fluid and took it for a 150 mile run. Intially it ran perfect for for about 1.5hrs just cruising it. I cam to an intersection. When I pulled away I began accelerating harder and harder and when I hit about 5000rpm and still accelerating harder the belt suddenly slipped. It kept running fine when I backed off accelerating hard and no slippage occured. Next time I cam to a stop about 15 minuted later the gearbox started shuddering. I managed to limp home. I determined the valve body was fine because the CVT had shifted seamlessly. However the slipping belt would have created metal and contaminated the new fluid, the torque converter and maybe not good the have metal that might damage the seals inside each variator. The car had done 130,000 miles. I reasoned that the CVT oil pump was worn and accordingly oil pressure was less than required to prevent slipping. I bought another CVT from a wrecked Nissan Maxima 2007 with the same CVT RE0R09A but in a two wheel version only. I reasoned because the car was pranged the CVT was working ok at the time of accident and mileage was only about 84,000 miles so assumed gearbox was working fine. However theres a lot of work to change over one of these gearboxes so I purchased from Amazon a Transgo Flow Control valve JF010E/RE0R09A Repair kit. This is a drop in valve that goes into the oil pump to correct wear / low pressure in the pump without requiring the pump to be machined or modified in any way. The kit was about $30. I then sat the old and the new gearbox side by side on their ends with the spline facing upwards. The old box was 4WD so the transfer case came off during removal of the CVT from the car. In order to convert the replacement 2WD CVT to 4WD you have to swap the front section / bell housing over from the old trans to the new because the shape is different on account of the transfer case. Remove both bell housings, remove the oil pump in the new gearbox and recondition oil pump by installing the new flow Control valve and reinstall oil pump into bell-housing. Swap the crown wheel and pinion over (because the driveshaft receiver is different for the 4WD version). Apply silicon to mating faces and bolt bell housing on. Install replacement torque converter that came with replacement CVT (because the old torque converter is contaminated with metal from CVT belt slipping) onto input shaft. Reassemble gbox to engine. When I did this it worked perfect and has been trouble free for just over 15000km. No belt slippage what-so-ever. This repair would be identical for the Roque gearbox. Hope this is useful in the future. Im convinced the flow control valve replacement is a mandatory replacement if the CVT is being taken out because its a cheap part but will extend the life of the CVT. Best regards.
Thanks for sharing you always impress me with how simple you can explain complex matters, I've always stayed away from CVT as I see it go bad on Subaru Nissan Mitsubishi and even on some Toyota's I really like the Idea and will send a contribution and hope to see this project completed best advice is to change CVT oil every 30000KM for it to last longer but it will surely fail again
The inner CV boot is regularly changed alone here in Ireland (I've seen American mechanics changing the whole drive for some reason so maybe they're not available there) but to change it is pretty easy remove the boot (make sure to support the rollers so the bearings don't fall out (a rubber glove does the trick) then there should be a circlip on the end of the shafts holding the rollers on once removed it'll slide off without any force (no hammer needed) then just slide on the new boot replace all and your done
A boot used to cost between $10 and $30 and a CV joint alone would have been around $110 and the labour is pretty much the same for either job 🤷♂️ Guess it's just the way the industry is going leaving less and less serviceable parts
Love it. One of the best acts of being human is being kind and caring to your neighbour. This is why I subscribe to your channel, you're showing us how to do things.
Would it have been easier to remove both engine and transmission together? We do that quite often when we work on a lot of front wheel drive sidewinders
Do you mean like to lift the car off the engine and trans? Unbolt strut mounts, disconnect harness, unbolt subframe etc etc? That sound easier then all the steps he had to take. I've personally been lucky enough to not get stuck with one of these junk trannys. Is that best way to attack this beast?
Good on you for doing this. I recommend changing the struts, the starter, and alternator just to ensure trouble free operation as you already have it all apart. My experience has been with older cars that as soon as you do 1 thing, the next thing fails. Easier to just do it now, then deal with a problem every 5k miles.
Thank you John, well done, good cause. Consider donating it to the school as a share car, doesnt Uber run a share car program. We have this in AUS. The hybrid motor now replaces the transmission, starter, alternator, regen, braking etc, no shifting etc. Love your work mate and great time lapsing/ editing, i know how hard it is.😊
If you are planning to run this car 50k+ more then plan on 2 CVT fluid and filter changes, or every 25k. Use Castrol CVT fluid and OEM filters (pan and cooler) and an OEM pan gasket. It's easy and cheap to do to make sure the money spent on the new CVT is not a waste. Also look into all the wheel bearings too, Japanese sourced ones go about 100-120K before they start to fail, and then the struts/shocks/control arms/ball joints.
@@erikcourtney1834 I serviced the Mitsubishi I shipped to my daughter with OEM fluid (read $$$$) because she might go to the dealer for servicing and used Castrol in my new to me 2014 Mitsubishi. I have no issues with the Castrol
FYI most of these CVT transmissions are pusher belts, not puller like rubber belts. The belt is probably worn out or the large seals on the pistons in the sheave (pulley) that hold the sheaves position are wore out and that allowed the belt to slip either way the belt should be replaced
My only experience with cvt drives is snowmobiles and for that, they work fairly well. Lightweight, simple, easily accessible. The belt is treated as a wearable and easily replaced part. It is difficult to believe Nissan thought it was a good idea to make the trans and sub assembly needed to be dropped for a belt change. From what I've heard of these , the car is the expected good quality nissan has worked hard to earn. All but this darn cvt Transmission. Great on you for taking the time and effort and pay it forward to this lucky rural kid!
Cool idea and as always very good video! I would look through every part that you removed and check them for slack, like the axles and all the other moving parts. Specially the ball joints and rubber parts will be shot after that milage.
You are a good man. That is a job and a half ooh wee. I was thinking about buying a Rogue, maybe not now. Remember the old days, rear wheel drive. I use to pull the engines and transmissions out together through the top.

Thanks! for paying it forward. Love ya here's mine man. CAR FOR KID
One thing you might want to consider doing too, is checking with the school to see if they would do a driver training course, my high-school had a car that students could use after school to learn how to drive, with a driving instructor of course, also teaching in a classroom saftey and what not, and it would help them get their license aswell, might not be a bad idea.
The half shaft you're dealing with has 2 CV joints. An outboard Rzeppa joint that has 6 balls riding in grooves and an inboard plunging Tripod joint. The inboard plunges to accommodate the change in required length as the suspension swings through its range of motion. This configuration is very common in modern passenger vehicles. Each style joint has its own pros and cons and when used in this combination, you get a pretty good solution.
Thank you for tearing into the CVT, it was fun to see it's internals!
Pretty sure it needs a new johnson rod... ruclips.net/video/Bu-A8YfC4w0/видео.html
Nice work on taking this cvt out. Would like to offer my 2 cents and share some of the common issues with these cvt transmissions...1) the pump flow valves on the pump itself usually get scorched up and or jammed and need to be updated. 2) the secondary pulley does most of the work in this unit. You have to dismantle it with special tools otherwise you risk hurting yourself. The 2nd half of the pully that slides up and down to change the gear ratio, it slides on 3 small ball bearings grooved into the shaft which usually eat out the shaft. You can upgrade those ball bearings to solid pins. 3) Behind the secondary pully theres a piston with a big black Teflon ring which usually get chewed up and embedded with metal filings from the wear and tear and stops holding pressure. The pulley works at about 500-800psi of pressure. Depending on damage, both might need changing. 4) sometimes when you take apart the Pulleys you discover they have snapped inside and need replacement. 5) Since the secondary pulley is the most used, the secondary pulley valve in the valve body gets worn out. It should be inspected. 5) The belt has small vertical grooves on it's edges of the elements. They usually get scorched and belt starts to slip and requires replacement. 6) Make sure to inspect the surface of the Pulleys as they should be smooth without any grooves. 7) Depending on the type of driving and mileage, might be a good idea to replace the torque converter. 8) Make sure you get the Nissan cvt oil when it's all said and done.
Hope this helps!

USA has shitty public transportation. There should be a high speed train system like in china, japan. In rural areas you can jump on a high speed train to the capital city 500 miles away, for 20 dollars.
@@tallswede80 It's not a rural area if there's a train station within walking distance. Some of us like being as far away from those sorts of things as possible.
@@unitedgray
that's not true though. Even in the united states, a train route may connect two cities, but along the way, there are optional stops in the middle of nowhere to serve rural areas. 10-20 miles can be covered easily on a bicycle. there has been little investment in trains however. There should be a high speed train around the great lakes connecting green bay and milwaukee with new york city.
@@tallswede80 97% of the US landmass is rural and 10 miles is nothing in a rural area. These stops would be significantly farther than 10 miles apart. Additionally people that live in rural areas aren't traveling from city to city...they're traveling to other rural areas. And if it's anything more than a day trip, they're certainly not going to do it by some combination of train and bicycle. That's incredibly inconvenient and down right impossible in many areas. No one is going to lug a suitcase on their bicycle for 10+ miles in the middle of winter in the Midwest to get to a train.

Hey Farmcraft. Car detailer here. If you want to fix those headlights (get rid of the oxidised plastic) use 1500 grit wet sandpaper in a side to side motion spraying water on it. Then 2000 grit up and down (all over) then use a polish compound and machine polisher (neumatic drill/hand) to finish. Makes the car really pop for the lucky kiddo. Great job :)
Coat the polished headlight assemblies with 2K clear coat to make the headlight assemblies remain clear over a long period of time.

As far as I know CVT "belts" don't stretch as nothing pulls on them. The belt is comprised of elements held together with bands, their only job is to hold the elements together. Torque is transmitted though the element stack by pushing on the stack. It's possible that it's just the pulleys and belt that have just worn down, replacement sets aren't that expensive online... Good luck and happy new year!

You’re doing a good thing, I commend you. FYI it’s a good idea to secure the steering wheel anytime the column shaft is disconnected so the airbag clockspring doesn’t get damaged.
You never cease to surprise and impress, John. And you're absolutely correct that rural areas have no easy fixes for transportation. One thing, if I'm not mistaken, the Rogues need entire driveshafts when u-joints go. Had a friend with a circa 2010(?) that found that out the hard way to the tune of $1000.
You can replace the inner cv boot on the drive shaft. There's a spring clip on the inside of the housing. Flick that out and the shaft will separate, leaving the three bearings held to the stub with an external circlip.
Yep, I figure that out later. thanks!
You are awesome thank you lol

I would strongly recommend adding additional transmission fluid cooling. I had a 2012 Altima that went through a couple of CVTs one under warranty, and another on my dime. I added an additional oil cooler with the third trans and it did much better. That generation of Nissan CVT had a horrible issue with the fluid getting hot and then the torque converter lockup was inconsistent which if you are lucky puts you in limp mode, if you are not causes all kinds of stress on the rest of the transmission. The torque converter continuously slipping is not ideal but does not really damage anything. Having it lockup randomly after slipping and when your RPMs are way up kills those belts. Kinda like popping the clutch on a manual all the time, and not just from a standstill. Half the milage of the vehicle was on that last transmission and it was going strong when we sold it. The thing looked brand new inside and out and if it had a manual transmission somebody in the family would still be driving it.
I hope that he sees your post. This is the sort of feedback he was asking for and he sounds like he has the funds to do this sort of thing as well. Maybe give some more specifics of the way that you set it up and hopefully you will get some more thumbs up and he might notice your post.
In all, I’ve read so much about Nissans and the 4 cylinder cut transmissions that are horrible. So you wouldn’t recommend anyone purchase a used vehicle in you opinion?
Good job sir! Actually a friend from church gave me Nissan rogue 2013 because I didn't have a car and I couldn't afford one but now it needs transmission, I'm driving it with the transmission challenge and trusting God for a miracle of some kind.

With a few more bolts, could drop engine/transmission together. It will be lot easier putting back in car. It was put in as a drive unit on factory line.

A CVT one. I have a 2000 Nissan with 242,000 and never a problem, yet.
The problems is not CVT....99.9999% people who owned them never changed transmission fluid....you suppose to read owner manual when and under certain condition at what mileage to change the fluid.....get it!
@@peterta5035 I don't know if it's the case with these, but I know thst other manufacturers (I'm looking at you, Toyota) are advancing the lie that you don't *need* to change transmission fluid. They seal the transmission and declare it to be filled with "lifetime fluid". And they're right...if you don't ignore the OEM and change the fluid, it *will* last the lifetime of the transmission. In fact, it will *define* the lifetime of the transmission...and that "lifetime" will be much shorter than it the owner will think it should be.
If you do proper maintenance on them , and don't ignore transmission fluid and filter change every 25,000 to 30,000 miles you will be fine , did you see the color of the fluid he pulled out of that transmission ? It was never changed from the looks of it , nothing lasts forever !

I bought my 17 yo daughter a 2014 Mazda 6 with about 100k miles last year in mint condition, paid 10k for it from a private seller (absolute steal at the time). She got into an accident, where the front was moderately damaged, car still ran and kind of drove but the insurance company totaled it still. Got a check from them for almost 15k, point is there was a not ton of damage and they still totaled it because it costs an absolute fortune nowadays to repair these more modern cars.
It's a shame really. But hopefully they at least parted it out so it didn't all just go to waste.
It is very expensive to repair modern cars but that's almost completely because the modern cars are designed to absorb The energy from a crash preventing your body from having to absorb it.
What was a moderate accident with I'm assuming pretty minor injuries in that car could have been a tragedy in a car made 40 years ago.
Nobody takes care of stuff better than those who bought it them selves.
I was going to say something like that - hopefully it is a donor now
@@FarmCraft101 Often, cars that are "totalled" end up being repaired and body cleaned up overseas where they are sold and used again. Many countries don't have the same safety standards as the USA. They are sold for more then parts in the US, but still a lot cheaper then a new vehicle.
I was looking at all the donations for the car. I don't think it'll take that long for the car repairs to be paid off. And I'm so glad that I could finally help with something I can believe in!

The ball bearings that allow for the clutch to go in and out get out of round. Causing the belt to slip. And can be remedied by using a couple of drill bits welded into place of the ball bearings. Then the cones can go up and down the way it did from the factory. Good luck with your project.
I fixed a Subaru Justy CVT with the same issue, couldn't afford the parts so I welded stuff, it ran for a week and blew up again but I got to see the inner magic workings of the CVT, it was worth it. I enjoy all your videos because I have mostly been there & done that, keep up the good work.
I have a Murano with 90K and the most important thing you can do to increase the transmissions life is to change the oil just like you would on a normal automatic, every 30K and you must use the expensive Nissan transmission fluid. I do agree that these are not the best, especially compared to the 7-9 speed automatic’s that are out now. Jon, your the best, living the golden rule. Thanks for all the knowledge you have share on this channel. Keep it up!!!
100% truth in changing the fluid and using Nissan fluid. My company had a fleet of Nissans and the only CVT failure in that fleet happened on a 10 year old Altima with close to 190k miles on it. Fluid changed every 30k with Nissan fluid.
CVTs have been powering snowmobiles since at least the 1960s. And I always think about how much I like manual transmissions every time I see a CVT.
My husband and I really enjoy your vids. You're a very talented man & obviously take a lot of pride in your work.

some of these comments astound me. Definitely entitled people who have no clue that there are people out there who drive cars in much worse condition than this one with far more problems and they rely on them to get them to school, work, etc. There are SO MANY people who would greatly appreciate a decent vehicle that has had some maintenance on it (including a MAJOR repair like new transmission) if it will get them reliably to and from where they need to go for any length of time (week, month, year, 5 years, etc.). I applaud this initiative and was happy to see the follow up video with the give away. There person truly appeared to appreciate it. I would like to see more of this type of video from you, but given there have been none since, I assume you determined it was not a good use of your time (that's sad actually).
It was just far more difficult to do than you might think. Liability, release forms, taxes…I know it seems like it would be easy to give a car away but there’s a lot involved. I’ll probably do some more in the future though. We’ll see. Cheers.
Thought I would share my experience repairing a Murano RE0R09A 4wd CVT gearbox which was shuddering when you came to a stop. Also shuddered when you pulled away causing it to go 9into limp mode. RE0R09A is basically a stronger version of the Roque CVT RE0R010A. CVT's operate with a high fluid pressure which is key the belt not slipping. With my repair I initially removed the valve body only, leaving the gbox in the car. I stripped the Valve body down, removed and cleaned the pistons in the valve body, cleaned the valve body sections and reassembled. Installed a new oil filter and new fluid and took it for a 150 mile run. Intially it ran perfect for for about 1.5hrs just cruising it. I cam to an intersection. When I pulled away I began accelerating harder and harder and when I hit about 5000rpm and still accelerating harder the belt suddenly slipped. It kept running fine when I backed off accelerating hard and no slippage occured. Next time I cam to a stop about 15 minuted later the gearbox started shuddering. I managed to limp home. I determined the valve body was fine because the CVT had shifted seamlessly. However the slipping belt would have created metal and contaminated the new fluid, the torque converter and maybe not good the have metal that might damage the seals inside each variator. The car had done 130,000 miles. I reasoned that the CVT oil pump was worn and accordingly oil pressure was less than required to prevent slipping. I bought another CVT from a wrecked Nissan Maxima 2007 with the same CVT RE0R09A but in a two wheel version only. I reasoned because the car was pranged the CVT was working ok at the time of accident and mileage was only about 84,000 miles so assumed gearbox was working fine. However theres a lot of work to change over one of these gearboxes so I purchased from Amazon a Transgo Flow Control valve JF010E/RE0R09A Repair kit. This is a drop in valve that goes into the oil pump to correct wear / low pressure in the pump without requiring the pump to be machined or modified in any way. The kit was about $30. I then sat the old and the new gearbox side by side on their ends with the spline facing upwards. The old box was 4WD so the transfer case came off during removal of the CVT from the car. In order to convert the replacement 2WD CVT to 4WD you have to swap the front section / bell housing over from the old trans to the new because the shape is different on account of the transfer case. Remove both bell housings, remove the oil pump in the new gearbox and recondition oil pump by installing the new flow Control valve and reinstall oil pump into bell-housing. Swap the crown wheel and pinion over (because the driveshaft receiver is different for the 4WD version). Apply silicon to mating faces and bolt bell housing on. Install replacement torque converter that came with replacement CVT (because the old torque converter is contaminated with metal from CVT belt slipping) onto input shaft. Reassemble gbox to engine. When I did this it worked perfect and has been trouble free for just over 15000km. No belt slippage what-so-ever. This repair would be identical for the Roque gearbox. Hope this is useful in the future. Im convinced the flow control valve replacement is a mandatory replacement if the CVT is being taken out because its a cheap part but will extend the life of the CVT. Best regards.
Thanks for sharing you always impress me with how simple you can explain complex matters, I've always stayed away from CVT as I see it go bad on Subaru Nissan Mitsubishi and even on some Toyota's I really like the Idea and will send a contribution and hope to see this project completed best advice is to change CVT oil every 30000KM for it to last longer but it will surely fail again
Jon, this is a fine, fine undertaking on your part. My hat is off to you kind Sir. Some kid out there is going to be eternally grateful. I hope.
The inner CV boot is regularly changed alone here in Ireland (I've seen American mechanics changing the whole drive for some reason so maybe they're not available there) but to change it is pretty easy remove the boot (make sure to support the rollers so the bearings don't fall out (a rubber glove does the trick) then there should be a circlip on the end of the shafts holding the rollers on once removed it'll slide off without any force (no hammer needed) then just slide on the new boot replace all and your done
Here in the states they have axles more available than boots and almost as much money to replace the boot counting the labor as to just replace it
A boot used to cost between $10 and $30 and a CV joint alone would have been around $110 and the labour is pretty much the same for either job 🤷♂️
Guess it's just the way the industry is going leaving less and less serviceable parts
Love it. One of the best acts of being human is being kind and caring to your neighbour. This is why I subscribe to your channel, you're showing us how to do things.
Would it have been easier to remove both engine and transmission together? We do that quite often when we work on a lot of front wheel drive sidewinders
Do you mean like to lift the car off the engine and trans? Unbolt strut mounts, disconnect harness, unbolt subframe etc etc? That sound easier then all the steps he had to take. I've personally been lucky enough to not get stuck with one of these junk trannys. Is that best way to attack this beast?
Love the shout out to Eric O! This is a fantastic project, bless you for your kindness 👍
Good on you for doing this. I recommend changing the struts, the starter, and alternator just to ensure trouble free operation as you already have it all apart. My experience has been with older cars that as soon as you do 1 thing, the next thing fails. Easier to just do it now, then deal with a problem every 5k miles.
Thank you John, well done, good cause.
Consider donating it to the school as a share car, doesnt Uber run a share car program. We have this in AUS.
The hybrid motor now replaces the transmission, starter, alternator, regen, braking etc, no shifting etc.
Love your work mate and great time lapsing/ editing, i know how hard it is.😊
If you are planning to run this car 50k+ more then plan on 2 CVT fluid and filter changes, or every 25k. Use Castrol CVT fluid and OEM filters (pan and cooler) and an OEM pan gasket. It's easy and cheap to do to make sure the money spent on the new CVT is not a waste. Also look into all the wheel bearings too, Japanese sourced ones go about 100-120K before they start to fail, and then the struts/shocks/control arms/ball joints.
Castrol fluid/oil is the only one I will ever use.
@@erikcourtney1834 I serviced the Mitsubishi I shipped to my daughter with OEM fluid (read $$$$) because she might go to the dealer for servicing and used Castrol in my new to me 2014 Mitsubishi. I have no issues with the Castrol
Bedankt
FYI most of these CVT transmissions are pusher belts, not puller like rubber belts. The belt is probably worn out or the large seals on the pistons in the sheave (pulley) that hold the sheaves position are wore out and that allowed the belt to slip either way the belt should be replaced
My only experience with cvt drives is snowmobiles and for that, they work fairly well. Lightweight, simple, easily accessible. The belt is treated as a wearable and easily replaced part. It is difficult to believe Nissan thought it was a good idea to make the trans and sub assembly needed to be dropped for a belt change. From what I've heard of these , the car is the expected good quality nissan has worked hard to earn. All but this darn cvt Transmission.
Great on you for taking the time and effort and pay it forward to this lucky rural kid!
Cool idea and as always very good video! I would look through every part that you removed and check them for slack, like the axles and all the other moving parts. Specially the ball joints and rubber parts will be shot after that milage.
You are a good man. That is a job and a half ooh wee. I was thinking about buying a Rogue, maybe not now. Remember the old days, rear wheel drive. I use to pull the engines and transmissions out together through the top.
