Nissan Rogue Transmission Swap - Part 5 -Conclusion!

[@jacobusa4727]

Ivan I enjoyed your installation and reprogramming the transmission most of all, you surprised your wife when she saw her baby picking her up, now that was a genuine surprise , your wife was really surprised great smile and a genuine moment captured on film good show Ivan your hard work paid off Sal

How does this channel only have 17,000 subs? This is quality material you won't find anywhere else!

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

I think the name change will help the channel. Looking for time to watch all of the videos!

[@pookatim]

I always wonder about people who complain about the cost of repair vs Blue Book Value. It's like they are mini-hedge fund managers. The BBV only matters if you are selling or buying a car. If you have a high mileage car that you have taken good care of and it needs an expensive repair, what are your options? Buy a new car for 10 times the cost of the repair or buy another used car that probably wasn't taken good care of? You made the right choice, Ivan!

[@lorrinbarth1969]

Well said!

[@THEGAMINGHELP101]

It's actually a bit more complicated situation to determine which is the better option. First, you need to consider how well the car was maintained overall, and compare to a slightly newer vehicle that hase a good maintenance history (they exist), next you need to get your current car fully inspected to determine how much you need to spend to get it up to snuff, next you need to find a "new car" with good maintenance and for a good price then do a cost per mile analysis of the two situations. People that look at KBB vs cost to repair don't know what they are talking about. The cost per mile plus a risk factor is how you determine the correct desition.

[@steveboone5450]

@@THEGAMINGHELP101 True. The KBB value of a 2010 Rogue represents a vehicle with a largely unknown history and all the associated risk. The value of a 2010 Rogue that you have owned, maintained, and understand for years is far higher if the vehicle has been reliable and well maintained. That extra knowledge can be worth thousands of additional value. That's why I hate to sell a reliable, well-maintained vehicle -- I know it is worth much more than book. Better to keep it or pass along to family members.

[@Reaper1947]

Congrats on getting it all done . I still think that the kind of miles your wife has driven that car , and no service ever being done on the CVT was darn good . Especially since so many Nissan CVT's have gone out with 50 to 60K on the clock . On another note , I don't care what manufacturers say , I do a complete flush every 30,000 miles on all my automatic transmissions now . Dirty fluid , excess heat , carrying or pulling to much weight , jackrabbit take offs and a lot of stop and go city driving destroy automatic transmissions . IMO the filters can go 100K or more , so if that's all you can do is pump out 4 quarts a couple of times a year and replace it do it . Keep it clean and cool . TheReaper!

[@kwamelewis6488]

Exactly well said bro

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

Well said. At 10,000 miles the fluid and filter should be changed, and the magnets inside the pan cleaned. All the break-in material floating around in there is not helping anything. There is a reason why it only has a one-year/12,000-mile warranty. And like this fellow said, if you got 50K from one of these CVT units, you got lucky.

[@murphy1772]

I watch all five parts at same night today. You are real hero. No many people starts this kind of swap and could film it.. Ten stars to you from Finlahd. (I have Nissan Qashqai with manual box).

[@bborkzilla]

Why would you pay half its blue book value to repair it? Because buying a new or even a used one is far more expensive and all you end up with is a new set of problems.

[@TechOut]

plus if you can fix things problems arent a big deal

[@gmoneyb5559]

hoppes9 exactly people never realize this. You never truly know a used cars history

[@dil6969]

Great point. I only see a new car or used car justified when the car's already trash and the repair cost exceeds its value. Your bank account will know when it's time. And every new car you bring into your life is usually a mystery. How well it was built, or how the previous owner treated it will determine your experience with it. With a car like this, any problems it had right out of the gate would have already made themselves known at this mileage. It's a known quantity.

[@workingshlub8861]

true..i spent 2k getting tranny rebuilt on my 92 chevy work van...id be lucky to get 750$ if i sold it. that being said i know the history because i have done all the work to it..water pump,alternator, steering box etc..it is reliaable and always passes inspection. taking a chance on another used one is more of a gamble and a new one wil run me 400-500$ a month. i dont like payments on anything.

[@satamanschmidt3428]

This is particularly true out here in the West where rust doesn't enter into the equation. I had replaced all of the mechanical parts on my Grand Prix and since it was entirely rust free there was no reason for it not to go another 200,000 miles. When the steel in the car is like brand new what's to be gained by replacing it so that you've got to go with the intake maniforld change, alternator change, radiator change, power steering rack change etc. etc. all over again.

[@gmwrenchead]

Very good series. You have a good attitude to go along with your growing knowledge and skills. A great combination that seems to be harder to find in today's young technicians.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Thanks, Ron! Comments like this are truly motivating to keep moving forward and learning as much as possible along the way!

[@paulkirkland1535]

Ron Jenkins: my thoughts exactly, Ivan you're really going places, God bless and keep up the good work. IMO you're living the American dream!

[@jdeltoro518]

I swapped 3 transmissions on my Chevy Impala. Their pretty easy all by myself. This one looks like took a long time. Great job.

[@joshr8176]

Great job Ivan, Thank you for making these videos as they are informative and entertaining. I must say your camera skills have vastly improved as well as your video production. Keep up the good work.

[@twinsonic65]

Just finished part 4 of the series this morning and then BOOM! part 5 shows up. This is great!!!!

[@zoidberg444]

Thank you for taking the time to share Ivan. All this information will be very useful if i ever have to do a CVT on a Nissan which i suspect i might in a year or two. I have seen other people change regular automatic gearboxes on YT but having only ever pulled manual boxes i did wonder what else the job entailed. Seemed pretty standard actually. Judging whether to keep a car based on book value is silly. Firstly buying a new car is crazy. It loses half its value just because you buy it. You still got to pay 10 times what most repairs cost plus a car payment/interest and dealing with dealers. If you buy a second hand car, you never really know if its been looked after. Best to run what you have into the ground. Glad to see Mrs Ivan making an appearance again. Mrs O hated the camera at first and now she's on Eric's videos all the time!

[@amadafaka]

the random bolt on the battery tray was probably for the broken braided ground strap

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Ha! You are absolutely correct! Thank you for jogging my memory ;)

[@lightningsmokerXx]

IVAN go to Krown Rust Control with that Rogue. You can't "drive it till the wheels fall off " if it rots out first. Rust is the work of the devil & iron & oxygen. The Juice is worth the squeeze Ivan. I live in Canada and use it yearly. www.krown.com

[@throttlebottle5906]

which he should replace with a new one!

[@DavidAKTA]

What a hellish ordeal! You've convinced me to plan on trading in my 2016 Rogue when it reaches around 100k miles for a Toyota or something with a better current reputation for longevity and reliability. Mine has just under 50k miles now and I recently noticed some odd behavior from my CVT that has me wanting to learn more about these transmissions. A couple times recently on cold mornings my CVT stayed in low and revved the engine up much longer before it finally "shifted" to a higher ratio. I see on some sites this is normal but it didn't do this last winter or the winter before. I always let it idle and warm up a bit before driving and then take it easy until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. I'm deeply concerned that so many Nissan owners say their CVT failed before reaching 60k miles. I plan on changing the CVT fluid soon even though the manual says 60k miles and will have my local Nissan dealer do a complete check of everything before the Powertrain warranty expires. I've found that my '16 Rogue has a later evolution of the Jatco CVT than your '10 Rogue did. It's the RE0F10D and has a slightly improved design that appears aimed at avoiding the ball bearings and worn out grooves problem that doomed your original RE0F10A CVT's primary pulley and so many like it. Looks like Nissan sold you the D version to replace your A version. The last time I dropped a tranny to make a repair was for the 5 speed in a '91 Eagle Talon I had. That was frickin' child's play compared to the hellish nightmare you had to do on your Rogue. Whoever said on a different video you were complaining too much is a troll just trying to amuse themselves at your expense. You had every right to curse Nissan designers and all their decedents until the end of time. I would have dropped a couple hundred F-bombs just when I realized the exhaust pipe had to be removed. Thanks for sharing your very informative videos!

[@int53185]

Someone is getting lucky tonight!

[@Chrismanningdrums]

Nothing beats Night driving!

[@aussiebloke609]

15:11 That bushing doesn't look to have gone all the way across the shaft. I think your coupler is just a little twisted in relation to the shaft and not sitting squarely on the locating dowel and is causing the bushing to bind. That would also allow the nut to pull tight against the pinch as the bushing would be out of its way, so you wouldn't need to get funky with the welder.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

That's just the way it's designed. Everything lined up perfect and torqued down the way it was before disassembly :)

[@aussiebloke609]

Whew. Wouldn't want the missus could lose her steering after a while. Thanks for a great vid series, Ivan. :-)

hi Ivan that's the best sequence of video's I've seen you film well done looking forward to the next, thank you.

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

MegaGrahamo Agreed. This may be the crown jewel to date. This was right up there with SMA from a technical standpoint. Entertainment wise Eric O and AvE just have more years under their belts. No matter. I for one watch for information first, entertainment second. So don't try too hard and that will grow organically.

After watching 5 boring episodes of a CVT swap I'm really excited to see the teardown 😎

[@dil6969]

Nice job, Ivan. I think you made the right call here. You and your wife have owned this car long enough to be very familiar with its behavior and little quirks. If it had any major problems from the beginning, they would have already made themselves known. It saves you from the teething problems that always come with a new vehicle.

[@alexb.1320]

Now that was a winning smile! Great job Ivan.

LOL loved it, "We'll see if we make it home!" What a great wife you have, full of fun and smiles. You're a blessed man like me as well. My wife always tells the ladies . "He's a keeper", when they tell her, "You're so blessed to have a husband that can fix things for you!" Then they ask her where'd you find him, does he have a brother that can fix things too? Love being my wife's hero too. I love that you don't give up on your equipment and explore all options before just taking someone else's word on it.You did a fine job thanks for sharing your expertise and fun with us.

[@johnaclark1]

Excellent video series, Ivan. I've got 171K on an 08 Odyssey and not looking forward to replacing that transmission but, as Eric O says, if you can do it, I can do it! I wonder if the old Autel DS708 (that's what I have) would have done the same calibrations on the Rogue. By the way, I don't subscribe to any premium channels but I'm more than happy to pay a small one time fee to help you recover the possible lost core charge for the teardown video. I think that's pretty reasonable.

[@wk7060]

I have a 2015 Rogue and would be real happy to get 186,000 miles on the CVT. Great video series.

[@QueenCityHistory]

so awesome to see your wife so happy! all the frustration was worth that smile I'm sure!

[@techpro6642]

Ivan, I watched all of your videos, on the swat and the tear down. I have a 2013 Nissan Altima S, 2.5L that sometimes will not engage in drive or reverse. When it engage I only get the most 20 mph. I originally got the codes read by the Nissan Dealer and they pull P0776 and P0965. I flush the fluid and got about 5 quarts, then I drop the transmission oil pan and change another 6 quarts. On the first change, the oil was dark and there was metal filings on the two magnets on the oil pan. The second flush, was also dark but not as dark as the first, but there was also metal filings on the two magnets on the oil pan. I soaked the valve body in gasoline overnight and re-install the oil pan and put back the same oil because it was new oil. The car drove a little better even giving me 40 mph sometimes, and it will take off when I come a complete stop. However, after driving it for about 20 minutes, when you come to a stop it will not move until I shut it off and let the engine cool down for about 10-20 minutes. I read online that when the solenoids on the valve body are defective, they will fail when the get hot, and cause the vehicle not to move. I keep clearing the P0776 code, but it keeps coming back. I do not get the P0965 only the P0776 code. I found a set of 5 Solenoids in China for about $95, and I wanted to by them and try that first before buying a new CVT which I cannot afford right now. If I buy the Solenoids, can you help me clear the TCM like how you did with your wife's car? If you or anyone can help me out, please email me at: [e-mail] thanks.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Definitely sounds like a solenoid fault. Make sure there is no connection issues and ohm out the solenoid before replacing it.

[@techpro6642]

How do you ohm out the solenoid, and will have to take it to the dealer to have the clear the TCM?

[@toledotom57]

Congrats for doing such a Tremendous JOB!!!!! I am Impressed. You are a professional mechanic in my opinion!

[@Krillekris]

I enjoyed this series so much. It was awesome. I see that you decided to tear down the old CVT, but if I was you I would not bother. But the curiosity got to you I guess. Your wife seemed to be in a good mood, so happy ending :-)

[@paullenzen2562]

43:31 Speed Limit 25 Mad Russian 55 ! LOL Nice video Ivan. I especially liked the fact that it was all done on the floor on jack stands in a garage with basic tools most of us have, with the exception of the scanner, but that is a tow trip to dealer for re-flash.

[@fieldsofomagh]

That is the happiest woman I've seen in a long, long time. Ivan, you know to charm the Mrs !!

[@ericcorse]

Well done Dork.IMO any auto transmission that goes 180 K has done OK. Changing the fluid periodically is cheap insurance. I would love to see inside the CVT but to the tune of $800 if you screw something up I say no its not worth it.

[@stewtube1240]

Job very well done ! You made it look a lot easier then it actually is ! Thanks for sharing .

[@FarmCraft101]

Thanks for this series of videos. It really helped me as I'm doing the same repair. I have 2 questions. Is it necessary to get a front end alignment after? Did you have any problems programming it yourself or would you recommend I bring it to the dealer? They told me they would be installing new software or something, possibly made up to pressure me. I would much rather do it myself if that works, but I also don't want the new transmission to have problems just to avoid the dealer fee.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Only my SnapOn scanner could reset the TCM calibration parameters 👍

[@felmar39]

very good ivan , you never give up and always find the right buttons, keep the good work my friend

[@cbsctomh]

awesome video Ivan...I figured the Versus could reset the TCM. Even the warden was happy and that's what matters...

[@barrymccaulkiner7092]

if the car doesn't have an external cvt oil cooler there is a fluid cooler kit available through the dealership to retrofit onto the car to help prevent premature fluid degredation and thus premature trans failure.

[@throttlebottle5906]

when filling rebuilt/new transmission, I don't let the pump suck air, it's hard on them, best to run engine in very short bursts and keep rechecking, until full. filling the torque converter as full as possible helps too.

[@testosteroneinc.3800]

*PART 5!! My life can resume now* 😂

[@ginsoakedbeau]

so enjoyed this series of videos, very informative. this really meant a lot to me. become a big fan ivan. i do wish on the rebuild you had started recording from scratch and not skipped so far along the job to where you were just reconnecting some clips on top and attaching the battery plate, etc got me up to speed enough to where i have decided to go ahead and diy myself on my 11' murano. nissan's in general are solid cars but the jatco cvt trans are a very big issue and something everyone should be aware of. if i can drop a reconditioned cvt in for 2,500 or less and get another 134k out of the murano be very happy. they are very good cars. the sticker shock of 4.5k -5.5k finally got me to take action and i learned a great deal along the way and was highly entertaining too. and no swearing. big bonus points.

[@williegillie5712]

Nice job Ivan. You weren’t afraid to go a little further in your diagnosis. Wife will be happy for sure

[@motorcyclesandridingfree2899]

Great video. I have a 18 rogue and I am going to have my fluid changed at 50k. I have 40 on it now and so far no issues. Thanks again. On another note I am surprised they only guarantee this a year. The factory should give a longer warranty than a year.

[@Wookiemonsterfreak]

Did I missed a little speech on the device you are using for diagnostics? Do you won this thing, or can rent? My Mits dealer is 3hrs away. So far I just check codes from my phone, but I would live to get better data and control. I need to get a flash from the dealer too, to learn the CVT codes for the swap. I am thinking of just swapping and use my old chipset attached to the Solenoid body inside.

Good work man I have a red 2011 Nissan rouge I love mines I learned a bit but I have a little rattle noise wen I hit the gas pedal sometimes

[@TURBOSHANE101]

i bet you might need to get it programmed at the dealer to get the warranty?

[@DarrelllCampbelll]

Please update. Did it ever throw a code? How long did the new trans last? Did you fill the trans level cold or operating temperature? I can see a big difference when mine is cold vs hot.

New trans has over 40k miles on it and running smooth, no complaints :)

Thanks for tutorial videos... Looking into purchasing CVT transmissions from orielly (remanufactured)... Does the TCM recalibrated required? Thanks

I got 90000 miles on my rouge and transmission is gone, don't buy that CVT thing, anyway this kid is a professional with a very happy wife, that happiness when she saw the car is worth gold

"very important to find the right hole"

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Wow. Sounds identical to my 2007 Altima, same whine when you rev it up, same jittery cold start idle. It sounds identical.

Customer Response Rating / -5 to +5 scale: She smiled when you showed up at her work. +2 "You really are a big dork!" This is a typical wifely response to many situations ranging from eating her last yogurt cup to stepping out of the bathroom with enough soap suds in hair to simulate a space alien, "Nanu Nanu", so gets a neutral score: 0 She didn't call you a dork again at the mention of "Mr.Launch" +3 Showed actual surprise and interest that you could reset the unit yourself. +5 "We'll see if we make it home" -3 She dissed the MPV (missing gear and all). -2 Played along with the interview without rolling her eyes into next week and still refrained from the D-word. +1 Overall the experience was positive and you may be allowed another yogurt cup without comment. Go Ivan!

My sister in law's ex-BF (ex being key here lol) insisted on buying a thoroughly trashed and repainted '09 Altima with 180k of what I assume were some hard miles, to do Lyft rideshare driving with, against my strongest of advice against doing so. Not sure if it's been lasting so far or what but talk about a ticking time bomb. He got the car for $3600 I think, the CVT trans going would totally send that car to the crusher.

Have you ever replaced a Heater Core? It was a royal pain in my Dakota.
