Part 2
We open up the CVT JF011E transmission and diagnose the problem, in my case, it was a bad bearing and race, $37 part! If yours is grinding while driving, this may be the same issue. I did replace both of them on that shaft, just to be safe.
I also open up the other side to have a look at the metal push belt. Pretty weird design, but really simple and easy to work on. I point out torque specs, key things to look for, and mistakes to avoid.
If this is helpful please, let me know below! Dont forget to SUBSCRIBE!
This tranny is used in Nissans and who knows what else. Part 3 will be the installation and final drive!

Hey John, thanks so much for posting this. I have a Jeep 2008 that I can't afford to lose right now so this video helped with a lot of insight. Mine is reading a p0777 code high which says the pressure solenoid B is stuck open. I'll try to replace that myself. No one here with the 12 shops close by will touch a CVT transmission. I just hope this solenoid is the cause and not just an effect of my poor acceleration

@jeremylucas9143 3 жыл бұрын

Weld a bead around the center of the race where the rollers would normally be. The race will shrink after it's welded, then you can easily drive race out with a punch from backside. Then use that same race to install new race. It's the same process that is used on aluminum hubs on semi trucks. Aluminum expands differently than steel so if you're not careful knocking your old races out the new races could be loose and spin in the case. I've seen that several times.

@jackcallahan2799 6 жыл бұрын

John, If you have a bearing race pressed into a blind hole and can't pry behind it, weld a bead all around the inside of the race, on the flat bearing surface. Let it cool completely. After it cools ,it should practically fall out, or maybe with a little help. Watch out for weld spatter on critical parts. I learned this 40 years ago. It works on steel housings, not sure about aluminum? Enjoyed your video, hope this helps for next time. Jack from upstate N.Y.
