Imagine any CVT with problems.

@@kenputt1750 Nah, it is mainly Nissan. Suzuki and Mitsubishi use the same CVT brand, and they don't have too many problems.

@@ronaldderooij1774 If you look up the cost of a used transmission for a 2019 Outlander, you will see them at $3,500+. Any time used engines/transmissions cost that much, it is either something like a Viper or Jaguar, or they are piles of crap. There's a 2012 Suzuki SX4 for sale locally that I want, but the CVT transmission is pooched and there is only one within 200 miles of home, and even then, it is $2,000 with 126,xxx miles. Not that the SX4 is a common vehicle, though. These are all Jatco units. The same manufacturer as the ones used in the Ford Freestyle and DaimlerChrysler used them for awhile as well. The Subarus don't seem to have much trouble, despite being made by Jatco. The honda civic CVT transmisisons can be had for really cheap, and the Corolla ones aren't terribly expensive, either. I dunno. Mazda is seemingly the only one still using a slush box transmission. Dual-clutch and CVTs are everywhere, making a Hybrid one of the theoretically most reliable drivetrains available in the new market right now. I think Infiniti is still using slush boxes as well.

I Used Castrol red cvt fluid on my 15 Rogue Sv awd. Spill and fill twice exect amount method 50k&60k . Significantly better than oem and mobile one 75-90w axel. All oem fluid including brake was pure shit.

@@ronaldderooij1774I wonder if that’s just because Nissan sells 4Xs the number of cars as Suzuki or Mitsubishi so you hear of more problems.

Thanks but no thanks. NO CVT's. I'll stick to well proven tech or a Manual. At least both of those can be SERVICED.

The 'ol Marquis has a 4R70W transmission that at 470,000 miles still shifts like it did when I bought the car new. I will continue to drive it.

Every diag is short most mechanics know within a few minutes what is wrong with your vehicle but you don’t want to guess you want accurate information so you go through the process of elimination.

@@keysautorepair6038 I disagree. "most mechanics" misdiagnose in this area of the country. If the identifix silver bullet doesn't fix it, they say "it'll have to go to the dealer, we don't have the whatever-tool you need for the job". And of course the dealers seem to be only able to fix cars half a dozen years old at most. But the quick diags like these, that call for major component replacement, they're valuable to see. I find I can easily get too caught up in tracking every possibility.

The customers really like the short diags too. :)

Correct 💯 These people are out here just trying to beat you out of something for nothing. Doesn't matter what business you're in.

Had a guy do something similar wrote him a estimate on a head gasket job he agreed I got done he called me and asked if I put a new water pump on it while I was there no I didn’t it was a exotec 2.2 I said that is another 4 hours labor he said since I was there he called the police told them I stole his money I showed them the gasket and the bill and explained that he was trying to get one over on me the old since your their bit.

​@@keysautorepair6038Don't know why some people don't just say what they want done, Instead of making everything sound Stupid at the end of a Job, My guess is this idiot person just wanted a n excuse not to pay is what it sounds like to me, Don't people realize how much actual time it takes to do a Headgasket job properly, Not just everyone can pull it off successfully in the first place.

I forgot to add that he showed up with coils and plugs and told me it was jerking. I asked if he had flashing check engine light. He said no so I told him to take the coils back because changing them with those elcheapo coils would be going backwards. Hew brought car couple days later and that aboce is what happened. Far as I know he drove the car home pouting and parked it and it hasnt moved. It laterally only needs a axle seal and OEM fluid change.

@@eddiereichel9354 I believe You, Why don't people just allow Professional to take care of problems like this instead of being 💯% Stupid instead, Now it's probably the Car manufacturers fault if asked.

Ha diagnostics from the driver's seat ;)

That would be terrible on the highway 😂

But no parts required!

Which vehicle are you referring to? Ivan showcased 3 vehicles 😅

@@ricebikeALL of them 😂

Hmm don't think so... What was the exact label of the test that you saw? 🤔

Yeah every 3rd Gen Acura TL owner, too. I do a drain and fill every oil change on my 05 TL (every 6 months basically, since I don't put a lot of miles on it).

Turkey baster works like magic

Agreed

They are quiet, handle well, etc. Unfortunately, if the transmission doesn't work it really isn't much good.

Usually the heater element burns up before the sensing element goes bad... They can last well beyond 200k miles. 👍

Wideband O2 sensor = Air/Fuel Ratio sensor...very common on Asian and Euro cars.

It's at 262k now, fluid change every 60k miles 👍

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics Thanks. So no problems with the cvt transmission?

​@@dogsplantscarsneatstuff176only if you change that CVT fluid frequently it seems... Still a crapshoot with the jatco 😢

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics How do you get your wife to drive a car with that many miles?🤣😂

At least not a Nissan or Jeep CVT haha

CVT....CANNOT VECTOR TORQUE

Unless you get it dirt cheap and plan on manual swapping it.

Except Toyota they seem to be ok

@@neilmurphy845 AISIN

I have same vehicle and I'm not big fan that transmission, sound like CVT and wants to be CVT, then I drove Corolla with CVT that wants to be 6 or 8 speed auto 🤔 go figure 😅

@@fibonaccisequence2891 an 8 speed auto shift and does not act like a CVT LOL!

@@Jazc-mp889 When I drove trough Smokies in Tennessee, up and down hills sounded like CVT, reving, holding and hunting trough the gears, I preferred 6spd auto from previous generation it was more refined.

@@fibonaccisequence2891 a CVT does not have physical gears and cannot "hunt". So that statement makes no logical sense. The geared/stepped 8 speed auto, can hunt for gears, but it does not feel like a CVT. My neighbor has a 21 Camry 8 speed and it hunts, but does not and can't feel like a CVT. A CVT has just two pulleys and either a metal belt or chain that changes tension/ratios.

@@Jazc-mp889 I'm aware and understand all technical aspects of everything you say and state, I service all our vehicles myself in my garage, oil, coolant, brakes, transmission fluids, belts, etc, I didn't have intention to educate masses about technicalities of certain machines or their physics , it is only my opinion, that's all, We are all different and we see things differently 😉.

What you should have said was "anyone who owns a Nissan should be thinking about a Toyota 24/7"

Didn't look like it on the dipstick...

Yup I only drain and fill 👍
