Rotate the crankshaft clockwise as viewed from front of engine
for access to drive plate to torque converter nuts.
5. Put matching marks on the drive plate and torque converter alignment stud. CAUTION:
For matching marks, use paint. Never dama ge the drive plate or torque converter.
6. Remove the transaxle to engine and engine to transaxle bolts.
7. Separate the transaxle from the engine.
8. If necessary, remove the following from the transaxle: • CVT fluid charging pipe
• Engine mounting bracket (LH)
• Fluid cooler tubes
• Air breather hose
• Any necessary brackets
INSTALLATION Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• When replacing an engine or transmission you mu st make sure any dowels are installed correctly

• Improper alignment caused by missing dowels m ay cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drive
train components.
• Do not reuse O-rings and copper washers.
• When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
• When tightening the nuts for the torque converter while securing the crankshaft pulley bolt, be sure
to confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley bolt. Refer to EM-160 .
• After converter is installed to drive plate, ro tate crankshaft several turns to check that transaxle
rotates freely without binding.
• When installing the torque converter to the transaxle measure dis- tance A. WCIA0616E

TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
• When installing the cooler outlet tube (1) to the transaxle assembly (2), align the cooler tube bracket (A) against the transaxle as
shown.
• When installing the transaxle to the engine, align t he matching mark on the drive plate with the matching
mark on the torque converter alignment stud.
• When securing the transaxle to the engine, attach the bolts in
accordance with the following standard.
• When installing the drive plate to torque converter nuts, tighten them temporarily. Then tighten the nuts to the specified torque.
• After completing installation check for fluid level, fluid leakage, and the positions of CVT. Refer to CVT-17," Checking CVT Fluid " ,
CVT-175, " Adjustment of CVT Position " and
CVT-175, " Checking of CVT Position " .
• When replacing the CVT assembly, erase EEP ROM in TCM. Refer to CVT-12, " Service After Replacing
TCM and Transaxle Assembly " . WCIA0618E

PRECAUTIONS
Rotate bayonet ring counterclockwise, pull out CVT unit harness
connector upward and disconnect it.
INSTALLATION
1. Align CVT unit harness connector terminal body marking with bayonet ring marking, insert CVT unit harness connector, and
then rotate bayonet ring clockwise.
2. Rotate bayonet ring clockwise until CVT unit harness connector terminal body marking is aligned with the bayonet ring marking
(linear slit) as shown.
CAUTION:
• Securely align CVT unit ha rness connector terminal body
marking with bayonet ring mark ing (linear slit). Do not
make a half fit condition as shown.
• Do not mistake the bayonet ring marking (linear slit) for
other dent portion.

CVT FLUID
CVT FLUID
Checking CVT Fluid INFOID:0000000004305570
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 ° to 80 °C (122 ° to 176 °F).
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle to warm up the CVT fluid. When ambient temperature is 20 °C (68 °F), it takes
about 10 minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 ° to 80 °C
(122 ° to 176 °F).
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
4. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move the selector lever throughout the entire shift range and return it to
the “P” position.
5. Press the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to release the lock and pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charg-
ing pipe.
6. Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Then rotate the CVT fluid level gauge 180 ° and re-insert it into the CVT charging pipe
as far as it will go.
CAUTION:
Always use lint free paper towels to wipe fluid off the CVT
fluid level gauge.
7. Remove the CVT fluid level gauge and check that the fluid level is within the specified range as shown. If the fluid level is at or
below the low side of the range, add the necessary specified
NISSAN CVT fluid through the CVT charging pipe.
CAUTION:
• Only use specified NISSAN CVT fluid.
• Do not overfill the CVT.
8. Install the CVT fluid level gauge to the CVT fluid charging pipe until it locks. CAUTION:
When CVT fluid level gauge is in stalled into the CVT fluid charging pipe, make sure that the CVT
fluid level gauge is securely locked in place. SMA146B

CVT SYSTEM
mand to the step motor, and control the flow-in/flow-out of line pressure from the primary pulley to determine
the position of the moving-pulley and control the gear ratio.
NOTE:
The gear ratio is set for every position separately.
“D” POSITION
Shifting over all the ranges of gear ratios from the lowest to the high-
est.
OVERDRIVE-OFF MODE
Use this position for the improved engine braking.
“L” POSITION
By limiting the gear range to the lowest position, the strong driving
force and the engine brake can be secured.
DOWNHILL ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL (AUTO ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL)
When downhill is detected with the accelerator pedal released, the engine brake will be strengthened up by
downshifting so as not to accelerate the vehicle more than necessary.
ACCELERATION CONTROL
According to vehicle speed and a change of accelerator pedal angle, driver's request for acceleration and driv-
ing scene are judged. This function assists improvem ent in acceleration feeling by making the engine speed
proportionate to the vehicle speed. And a shift map which can gain a larger driving force is available for com-
patibility of mileage with driveability. SCIA7958E

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
• Inspect for fluid leakage and check the fluid level. Refer to CVT-196, " Checking CVT Fluid " .
Fluid Condition Check
Inspect the fluid condition.
STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil. Replenish the engine oil if necessary.
2. Drive for about 10 minutes to wa rm up the vehicle so that the
CVT fluid temperature is 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F). Inspect the
amount of CVT fluid. Replenish if necessary.
3. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test. •It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D” position.Fluid status Conceivable cause Required operation
