Murano is a fine SUV and you wont have gear box isssues if you use the right fluid which is specially recommended
for its Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) system and it is available at Nissan motor dealers. Before buying, make
sure you check underneath the engine for signs of oil leak. Run away if such is evident because it could be a problem
you would find hard to solve.

murano is a wonderful car but the parts are very expensive.

that is why pple run away from it and you see pple selling it cheap.

Murano has serious problem with the gearbox unless a special fluid is used, it costs 300$
However Nissan didnt say it till many complaints were made in US. I dnt know how can u know whether the owner used dat fluid or nt
The gearbox costs 4k- 6k $

Murano CVT transmission oil only cost about $20. However, you need about 5-6 bottles to change the whole quantity. Transmission fluid replacement is only need possibly every 30k miles or so (or as needed if the fluid changes color)

Otherwise just top it off as needed with the right oil. There is a Nissan dealership in Victoria Island. It shouldn't be a big deal as long as you don't cut corners.

Good luck

Nissan said it all in Murano's Owners Manual with a warning that the gear box will not tolerate another type of fluid but the recommended one.
However, most of our mechanics, including those, who by virtue of the companies they work for, have no idea about this and the resultant effect
is rampant damage to Murano gear boxes and their stigmatization as unreliable contraptions.

Murano is a nice car(CUV).
Its a CUV thus its maintenance is a bit higher than regular cars. As per the gearbox, like everyone said, you need to use Nissan CVT fluide to refill. The gear fluid dries up a bit fast and also gets dirty after about 30kmiles. Two things you have can do to prevent gearbox issues; top up frequently and change fluid once dirty.
You will always know when its time to top-up or change the fluid, the performance of the gear goes down,

thanks to you all for your contributions.is this gear issue with all year models and which will be better an FX35 or a Murano(pls the year model.
thanks)
