See This guy toying with his transmission , am sorry for you

Not toying with it actually! that's why I am here to seek advice from experts. Like I said earlier, I know next to nothing about cars, this is my first, and you'll agree with me that am not happy am passing through this, owning to the fact that i didn't buy the car cheap at all. If you must know, the cost + all I have spent trying to put it in good shape is more than what I would have spent buying a direct Tokunbo of same car.

Many thanks to all that have contributed so far, you guys are collectively saving me a lot, and more importantly, am really learning from you all....

Rserbert, go buy another good gearbox. QED

In case that happens to be the last result, pls do you have any idea how much the gear box cost? NOTE; its a CVT.

Am thinking if am buying another gear box, it must also be CVT or any other will work (DON'T BE ANGRY IF THAT SOUNDS SILLY, PERSON WEY ASK NO DEY MISS ROAD)

Costee:

Have you done a scan? Usually when the cvt light flashes (16 times) there's problem with the step motor in valve body of the transmission. Soon enough the car would hardly move. It could also be that your rev sensor(s) is gone bad.
What do you mean by boiling water? Is the car overheating?

NO I HAVEN'T... AM SORRY I DONT KNOW WHAT "step motor in valve body" is, I'll ask my mechanic to check that sha, or if you have access to or use same car, you can pls do me a BIG favour by snapping and posting here, so that i know and direct my mechanic (gear specialist) to check that too.

The rev sensor, maybe that's whats the brother called C-sensor. lol

Thanks...but, flashes 16 times..., I must say you seems to know that car very well, do or have you use(d) the same model?

Hey bro... I think you might just have to get your tranny changed. Nissan CVTs are not exactly very tolerant of non-CVT fluids nor easy to fix (as are all CVTs)- My fiancee had a tranny problem with her Primera, and at the end of the day, we just had to get a new one- with the help of nissparts.
ONLY a similar CVT box, with the corresponding Ns-1 fluid will work.
I suggest you get in contact with nissparts or any other PROPER nissan specialist you might know for further guidance.
You're looking at a bill of 80k ish or thereabouts

Do nothing until you've scanned the car.

Costee, he does not need to even bother with scanning.
He used Oando ATF for his CVT, nothing but transmission replacement will work here.

oops, but I have drained and replaced with NS-1 as you suggested ooo + its not every time it behave like that, like 2-3days or depending on the distance I drive. It will drive normal at first, and changes normally.

Changing the fluid afterwards will not solve it.
It will get worse

Hi, that's my only line and I've been getting calls on it.
What's your number?

please are u a Nissan mechanic. Or do u know a good one as it appears there are no decent mechanics at ife where I am located. My 1999 altima is giving me hell. The engine and gear are new and don't really give me issues. But the legs, brakes everything else is really wrong with car. The alignment is never OK. The fan runs without stopping. I need to know the oil for engine and gear. Can't say Wat I have been running it on so people don't laugh at me
