Can Using ATF Fluid In Place Of CVT Cause No Gear Change by MizteaTee: 7:19am On Sep 10, 2018 |
I have being using ATF fluid in place of cvt fluid ns1.Now, my nissan primera does not move more than 30minutes, that is, when it is hot. It wil not change gear again. Its Automatic gear. Different mechanic has check the fuel pump and gear and they say its fine. Someone now said it can be the ATF fluid causing it. Please, do anyone have idea if it can cause it as i heard d CVT fluid is very scarce. Please, i need advise on what might be wrong |

I'll flush that atf immediately. Ns1 has been discontinued but ns2 is available in Nigeria and it's backward compatible. I don't know how long u have been using the ATF and amount of damage caused so better wait let the experts come. Using ATF in place of ctv is a major major transmission killer. 2 Likes

Which Primera is this? P11 or P12? Or which year model and what is your location? |

MizteaTee:Sorry let me ask a seemingly silly question. Why do you think your car has a CVT? Could you post the VIN or send it to the number in my signature? |
Re: Can Using ATF Fluid In Place Of CVT Cause No Gear Change by MizteaTee: 10:13am On Sep 12, 2018 |
Costee:the name of the fluid, cvt ns1, is written on the cover of the gear oil |
Re: Can Using ATF Fluid In Place Of CVT Cause No Gear Change by Nobody: 12:00pm On Sep 12, 2018 |
MizteaTee:By "cover of the gear oil" I presume you mean cover of the dip stick on the transmission. You certainly have in the wrong fluid, which is at cross purposes with the fluid temperature sensor in the valve body of your transmission. Hence the symptoms you're have when the temperature of the transmission is beginning to get warm. I can't say for certain if the fluid temperature sensor has become defective, but perhaps the only way that can be established is for you to drain the present fluid and refill with the correct one. Yes, NS-1 has become extinct hereabouts but it seems it's safe to go on NS-2. Now cost implications. If you decide to experiment with drain and refill, it might be necessary to do that twice. You'd certainly need three 4-litre cans of NS-2 fluid. That would set you back 60k in the least. Juxtapose all this with changing the transmission. I don't know the cost of one, but when you install you'd need about 6 litres, i.e., 11/2 can, but strictly two cans. Now you have two options: the first is less expensive but experimental; the second is more expensive limited only by luck prospects of getting a good transmission. Wish you luck whichever option you choose. PS. I still wouldn't mind the VIN if you feel disposed. 1 Like |

@Costee, I saw that transmission in Ladipo for around 80k thereabouts a few years ago. Interestingly never replaced one before. Those things don't die easily it seem. Many people got away with your first method. OP, the choice is yours, the risks attached are also yours. Pick carefully. 1 Like |

MizteaTee: Just curious, is it possible to run a scan on your transmission at your location? 1 Like |
