Nissan questions we answer every week

Straight answers from our techs

Why does my Nissan CVT shudder or whine?

Nissan's CVT in the Altima, Rogue, Sentra and others can judder, whine or hesitate as it wears — worn fluid makes it worse.

Warning signs

Shudder  ·  Whine  ·  Hesitation  ·  Limp mode

What we do

We scan the CVT, check the fluid and for updates, and tell you whether it needs service or repair.

Why is my Pathfinder or Frontier coolant pink and foamy?

On 2005–2010 Frontiers, Xterras and Pathfinders, the radiator's internal transmission cooler can fail and mix coolant into the transmission — damaging it.

Warning signs

Pink, milky coolant  ·  Slipping transmission  ·  Shift problems

What we do

We test for cross-contamination and repair the radiator — and the transmission if it's been affected.

Why does my 4.0L Nissan whine?

On many 4.0L V6 Frontiers, Xterras and Pathfinders, a whine that rises with RPM is often worn timing chain guides.

Warning signs

Whine with RPM  ·  Cam timing codes

What we do

We confirm it and replace the chains, guides and tensioners together.

Why does my Titan tick when it's cold?

A tick on a cold start on the Titan and Armada V8 is commonly a cracked exhaust manifold.

Warning signs

Tick on cold start  ·  Exhaust smell

What we do

We find the crack and replace the manifold and hardware.

How often should Nissan CVT fluid be changed?

Nissan CVTs rely on clean fluid. Servicing it on schedule — and sooner with towing or heavy use — helps it last.

Signs it's overdue

Shudder  ·  Delayed engagement

What we do

We service the CVT with the correct Nissan fluid.
