No solution I know of other than getting a new car! I first replaced the CVT in my 2009 Altima around 90K miles and have started having the same problems at 144K. We have a new highway here in TX with a speed limit of 85 mph but I can only do 80 mph on hot days or the CVT goes into safe mode. Safe mode restricts speed in excess of 70 mph and if I don't pull off the road to let it cool down I am forced to after 15 minutes but the CVT disengages completely. After 15 minutes it cools down and I can get back on the road so long as I don't exceed 75 mph. Do I think there's a design flaw? Absolutely. After several trips to the dealership all I get so far is they have examined the transmission fluid and do not yet have any signs there's a problem. Last time I had to time it so a mechanic was ready to jump in and drive the car before it had a chance to cool down.

The cvt transmissions have become a known issue, and nissan (in canada, not sure about usa) has since offered an extended warranty to 200000 KM ( 120000 M ).

Testimonial: "Thanx for the advice. I shall make inquiries re an extended warranty "

    how did you make out? were you covered?

  • JukieMcJuke Jan 14, 2011

    The statistics do not support what Ottawa Tech is saying. Not all CVTs have become "known issues". Their performance has varied greatly depending on make and model. Some have been problematic, but overall the transmission is of at least average reliability (as per consumer reports long term survey). There is a false perception of CVT being unreliable. You aren't any more likely to have a problem vs. traditional automatics, but if there is a problem, you will definitely be paying much more for repair/replacement.

    My 2010 Rogue has a very high pitched whine as I decelerate less than 60 km and a grind/whine
    Every time I coast. Will replacing the CVT get rid of the whine?

How do i replace the transmission fluid of 2009 nissan altima
two ways to do it
1-- drop the pan and drain half the oil and check / clean the filter
2---take it to an accredited auto transmission shop and have it changed with the engine running--- changes all the oil including what is in the torque converter with no need to drop the pan
method 2 is more expansive as you have to use more oil but the result is better as it removes any contaminants from the torque converter that method 1 does not do

Troubleshooting oil leaks on Nissan Altima
    Your Altima uses a variety of different oils to lubricate various components. Normally, these oils won't leak. But when you do find a leak, you will almost always need to have extensive work done on your Altima to correct the problem. However, before you can replace anything, you need to know what kind of oil it is
    Check for brown or black oil leaking on the ground or on the side of the engine. This is engine oil. It lubricates critical engine components. A leak means that an engine seal has failed and needs to be replaced

    Check for red oil. Red oil is trans fluid. On your Altima, it most likely means that you have a rear main seal on the transmission that has failed. However, any seal on the transmission is possible. Transmission leaks need to be fixed immediately. A transmission can fail catastrophically in 20 minutes of driving if there is insufficient oil in the transmission

    Check for amber or brown oil leaking from your trans. This is transmission gear oil found only on the manual version of the Nissan Altima.

What would be the over all cost to replace the automatic transmission on a 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5s including a second hand transmission would it be around $5000.00
It will really depend on the geographic area you live in but that's a bit more than what I would consider to be average. The last one my dad had done for him was a common NA car with inexpensive parts, so the bill was $2700 plus taxes.

Ihave code p0731 stuck in 1st ratio .. what mean that code?
obviously refers to auto trans , could just need the trans fluid level topping up or even changing , if this does'nt resolve the problem then a more in depth diagnosis would be required at a repair shop as could be the ECU for example but do the fluid checks and go from ther ,keep me posted

Transmission won't get out of first gear.
Take it back to the dealer. With only 1000 miles on it they will have to repair it.

1993 Nissan Altima Gearshifter or Transmission problem
Sounds like a neutral safety switch in problem #1 and a sticky or faulty solinoid in problem #2
The tranny has quite a few solinoids that are electronic which sometimes burn out or fail with high mileage.
Hope this helps
