Install CVT Assembly
NOTE: When installing a replacement (new) CVT assembly, follow the IMPORTANT
statement below.
IMPORTANT: Record a video (15 seconds maximum) of the Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) on the F.M.V.S.S. certification label (VIN label) and either no or dissimilar damage to
the reduction gear bearings (page 8, step 2a) or the outer bearing race that can be moved
by hand (page 8, step 3b). Attach the video to the CVT Pre-Authorization Form.


Include showing no or dissimilar damage to the reduction gear bearings or the
movement of the race by hand (whichever applies) in the video.



The VIN label is located on the bottom of the driver side “B” pillar just inside the
driver door.

1. Install the CVT assembly in the vehicle.


Refer to the Electronic Service Manual (ESM), section TM-Transaxle &
Transmission, for CVT installation.

2. Flush the CVT cooler.
IMPORTANT: A CVT Cooler flush is required after a valve body or CVT assembly
replacement. Refer to bulletin NTB15-013 to perform CVT Cooler flush.
3. Connect both battery cables, negative cable last.
4. Reset / initialize all applied systems i.e., radio, power windows, clock, sunroof, etc.


Refer to the ESM as needed.

5. IMPORTANT: Install Write IP Characteristics to the TCM.


Refer to TM – Transaxle & Transmission / RE0F10D / BASIC INSPECTION, and
perform ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN REPLACING TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY.

6. For repaired CVTs only: perform Flush CVT Assembly on the next page.


Check for fluid leakage.



For replacement CVTs only: Do not perform a CVT flush. Go to step 7.

7. Verify the CVT operates normally and no abnormal noises are heard during a test drive.


Vehicle repair is now complete.

43/48

NTB15-102a

Flush CVT Assembly, Verify Repairs
CAUTION: DO NOT USE any aftermarket transmission flushing equipment. For
CVT flushing, use ONLY the procedure below.
1. Top off the fluid level with up to four (4) quarts Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid or equivalent. See
PARTS INFORMATION, footnote (3) and (7).


Add as necessary.

2. With the vehicle still lifted on the hoist (wheels off the ground), run the engine in Drive
for five (5) minutes at idle speed.
3. During step 2, verify no abnormal noise is coming from the CVT.
IMPORTANT: In the next step, the wheels must be braked gradually to a stop to allow
proper CVT “downshift” ratio change. If this step is not performed properly, the CVT may
start in an incorrect ratio.
4. After five (5) minutes, gradually brake the wheels to a stop, put in Park, turn the engine
OFF, and then drain and properly discard the CVT fluid.
WARNING: CVT fluid will be HOT.
5. Reinstall the drain plug.
6. Repeat step 1 - 5.
7. After performing step 6, fill / top off with CVT fluid for the last time.


Refer to the ESM, section TM – Transaxle & Transmission / RE0F10D,
for CVT fluid filling.



Drain plug torque: 34.3 N•m (3.5 kg-m, 25.3 ft lb)



Fluid filler plug torque: 10.0 N•m (1.0 kg-m, 89 in lb)
