FLUID LEAKAGE
• Check transaxle surrounding area (oil seal and plug etc.)for fluid
leakage.
• If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts and adjust
CVT fluid level. Refer to TM-229, "
Adjustment".
ReplacementINFOID:0000000012431173
CAUTION:
• Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN
CVT Fluid NS-3 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the (NISSAN new vehicle limited) war-
ranty.
• Always use shop paper. Never use shop cloth.
• Replace a drain plug gasket with new ones at the final stage of the operation when installing.
• Use caution when looking into the drain hole as th ere is a risk of dripping fluid entering the eye.
• After replacement, always perform CVT fluid leakage check.
1. Select “Data Monitor” in “T RANSMISSION” using CONSULT.
2. Select “FLUID TEMP” and confirm t hat the CVT fluid temperature is 40°C (104° F) or less.
3. Check that the selector lever is in the “P ” position, then completely engage the parking brake.
4. Lift up the vehicle.
5. Remove the drain plug and overflow tube and drain the CVT fluid from the oil pan. TM-242, "
Removal and
Installation".
6. Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the drain hole.
CAUTION:
Tighten the charging pipe by hand.
7. Install the ATF changer hose (B) to the charging pipe. CAUTION:
Press the ATF changer hose all the way onto the charging
pipe until it stops.
8. Fill approximately 3 liter (2-5/8 lmp qt) of the CVT fluid.
9. Remove the ATF changer hose and charging pipe, then install the drain plug.
NOTE:
Perform this work quickly because CVT fluid leaks.
10. Lift down the vehicle.
11. Start the engine.
12. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to the entire position from “P” to “L”, and shift it to the “P” position.

CVT FLUID
• During adjustment of the CVT fluid level, check CO
NSULT so that the oil temperature may be main-
tained from 35 to 45 °C (95 to 113 °F).
• Use caution when looking into the drain hole as th ere is a risk of dripping fluid entering the eye.
1. Check that the selector lever is in the “P ” position, then completely engage the parking brake.
2. Start the engine.
3. Adjust the CVT fluid temperature to be approximately 40 °C (104° F).
NOTE:
The CVT fluid is largely affected by temperature. Therefore be sure to use CONSULT and check the
“FLUID TEMP” under “TRANSMISSION” in “Data Monitor” while adjusting.
4. While depressing the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to the entire position from “P” to “L”, and shift it to the “P” position.
NOTE:
Hold the lever at each position for 5 seconds.
5. Lift up the vehicle.
6. Check that there is no CVT fluid leakage.
7. Remove the drain plug. Refer to TM-242, "
Removal and Installation".
8. Install the charging pipe set (KV311039S0) (A) into the drain plug hole.
CAUTION:
Tighten the charging pipe by hand.
9. Install the ATF changer hose (B) to the charging pipe. CAUTION:
Press the ATF changer hose all the way onto the charging
pipe until it stops.
10. Fill approximately 0.5 liter (1/2 lmp qt) of the CVT fluid.
11. Remove the ATF changer hose from the charging pipe, and check that the CVT fluid drains out from the charging pipe. If it
does not drain out, perform charging again.
CAUTION:
Perform this work with the vehicle idling.
12. When the flow of CVT fluid slows to a drip, remove the charging pipe from the oil pan.
13. Tighten the drain plug to the specified torque. Refer to TM-242, "
Removal and Installation".
CAUTION:
Never reuse drain plug gasket.
14. Lift down the vehicle.
15. Stop the engine.

WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and
turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing it down
and turning it all the way.
CAUTION:
• Perform these steps after the coolant temperature has cooled sufficiently.
• When replacing the transaxle, perform "ADDI TIONAL SERVICE WHEN REPLACING TRANSAXLE
ASSEMBLY". Refer to TM-127, "
Description".
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/line, etc. , cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-
ing.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the engine and transaxle assembly. Refer to EM-87, "Removal and Installation".
2. Disconnect the harness connectors and harnesses. • For CVT unit harness connector.
• Transmission position switch harness connector

CAUTION:
When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
4. Remove the bolts (engine to transaxle) that fasten the transaxle assembly and engine assembly.
5. Remove transaxle assembly from engine. CAUTION:
• Secure torque converter to prevent it from dropping.
• Secure transaxle assembly to a suitable jack.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse O-rings.
• Apply Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3 to the O-rings.
• When installing the transaxle assembly onto the engine assembly,
check the engagement of the dowel pins ( ).
• When using suitable tool (A) for alignment, install it to the align- ment stud bolt used to align the torque converter to the drive plate.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check the following items:
• For CVT position, refer to
TM-232, "
Inspection".
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels incl uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-
age at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, che ck again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
ADJUSTMENT AFTER INSTALLATION
• Adjust the CVT fluid level. TM-229, "Adjustment".
• Perform "ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN REPL ACING TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY". Refer to TM-127,
"Description".
