Just brought my first car ever so i am new to all this car talk.
I got a 2008 versa SL, for a good price and now i realized why. (private sale)
The transmission wasn't engaging occasionally and after reading all the extended warranty things on here thought i could get it replaced.
However, the dealer just told me that whoever had the car before has put the wrong transmission fluid in, its pink not green. Therefore the warranty is void, and thats what is causing the problem.
Ive been quoted by the dealer $4,300 +tax for a new tran or $3,300+tax for a used one.
My questions are:
A) Can you replace the CVT transmission with a non-CVT automatic? (they are less expensive)
B) Can you flush out the old fluid with new fluid to fix it?
C) Is it a job that I could potentially do myself?
d) Is $4,300/$3,300 the usual price or is it too much?
Thanks
