Just went to dealer with 2014 Versa they say we need a new transmission. $7000 canadian dollars. Car over revs sometimes.
They say trans prob. Anyone have this prob? Anything we can do? The car still works great have to part with it.

You might want to check around and see if you can get a better price from a good independent repair shop.

If CVT trans and you look, you will find countless other Nissans with the same or similar problem. It is often normal to change CVT transmissions on Nissans before you do the spark plugs.

Just get a 5-speed manual, and never have to deal with this nonsense again.

Yes, I like my 5-speed manual transmission. I'm the Transmission Control Module!!

Just ridiculous what junk Nissan CVT can be. Wondering how much impact on more expensive BMW models that made the mistake of using Nissan Jatco CVT in some of theirs. They are likely not real happy about it.

Not to derail the thread, but who makes a dependable economy car with a good automatic transmission??

The word is that both Honda and Toyota do CVT quite a bit better than Nissan. I for one cannot say.

I have two Ford Focus and both are the normal 4 speed ATX before Ford went stupid to go to the DSP6 trans that has given them enough grief to match Nissan and CVT. My Versa is also the 4 speed ATX. All of those will run forever if you just change the fluid once in a while. Got over 200K miles on each Ford and 120 on the Versa and all run fine. Of course you don't get that last 10% mileage because they are not the latest design but at $5K to change trans ahead of time that mileage gain is largely something that does not exist when you put it next to a car that keeps on running forever, that is where true savings lie.

Yes... eventually, my girlfriend is going to need a new (automatic transmission) car. I tried to teach her to drive stick, but it was a lost cause.

What is wrong with American women? Many people (I am old) told me that they were driving manuals earlier in their lives, but because of their wives/girlfriends they drive automatics now. Some tried to teach them to drive manuals, but gave up.
I guess it is less applicable now with a new generation of drivers, who never drived a manual car.

I’m with you all the way Slick, the wife has age and bad knee so it just got too much for her with the clutch.
