Finally fixed, with a re-manufactured transmission.
*** Update 22 June 20: St. Tammany Transmission attempted to service and just change the Stepper Motor out, as I requested, and it still had problems with slippage. So that means that the Pressure Regulator valve or the little balls on the pulley shafts were binding up or both. So I had to change it out with a re-manufactured transmission, NOT REBUILT. They did not charge me for the Service but did charge me the $150.00 for the Stepper Motor and that is more than fair. I asked them to try the service and stepper motor at a approximate cost of $389.00 plus tax. So they ended up eating the fluid and filter and I ended up eating the Stepper Motor, which I assume they would keep clean up and re-use, a fair trade. The total cost of the transmission and the stepper came out to $4,077.00 dollars with a 36 month 50,000 mile warranty. If you knock off the $150.00 that's $3,927.00. Really not bad, as the dealer wanted $5,200.00 to put a new one in, with the same warranty. Lesson learned, DON"T SKIP THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE ON YOUR CVT & don't drive it like a dragster jumping off the line at the drag races.
** Update 11 June 20: I had St. Tammany Transmission [ Ссылка ] take a look at them. They pulled the pan and found virtually almost no metal shavings at all in it. I told them as soon as it gave me trouble I babied it home, NOT over revving it, meaning when I saw the revs going up I backed off the throttle. They said that probably prevented the tranny from excessive damage and probably saved the rest of it. The pulled the code 1776 on it and the computer said the Stepper Motor was bad. So they are going to service the transmission, put a Nissan Stepper in it and see if that fixes it. I should find out around Tuesday afternoon.
* Update 03 June 20: Nissan of Slidell says I need a new transmission, $5,200.00 dollars. Oh nooooo!!!
So I'll look into getting it rebuilt or look around for a good used one. I'll keep you all informed of what I find out!
This is my 2014 Murano on the way home from work I was driving at approximately 70 mph. Take note of the tachometer, the RPM's slowly changing up and down between 2K & 4K.
Here are some more symptoms:
1. The transmission does not want to move or moves slow from a dead stop, like pulling out from a stop sign it doesn't want to move. It acts like it's in neutral at first then slowly pics up speed.
2. Once it starts to move it almost drives normal except RPM's vary.
3. Once moving pressing harder on the accelerator the transmission acts like its shipping or moving into a lower gear. Meaning the RPM's go up but the car doesn't go faster right away.
4. If you take off to fast you'll get a couple of big bumps from the acceleration.
- What to do if you have these symptoms:
A. Gently, not over revving it, take it home and PARK IT IMMEDIATELY.
B. Set up an appointment with a transmission shop, NOT the dealer! The dealer will tell you it can't be fixed, IT CAN in some instances.
C. If you didn't tear it up and keep driving it you MAY get by with:
- A service & a Stepper motor replacement, about $400.00 dollars vice $4,000.00 non-dealer replacement, or a $5,700.00 dealer new transmission.
- A service & a Solenoid Pack replacement. about $1,200.00
D. If you tear it up some but not to bad it will need a rebuild, or a refurbished transmission. They run anywhere from $3,600.00 to $4,200.00 depending on who you have do it.
E. If you tear it up beyond repair by driving it and over revving it, you'll have to replace it. That will cost you around again, $3,700.00 to $5,700.00.
F. You may get a used one from the junk yard for around $1,200.00 plus shipping.
G. You can rebuild it yourself for around $1.500.00 to $2,200.00 depending on how bad you tore it up. That's provided you have the skills and tools to do the job. Price listed
