IMPORTANT: The purpose of ACTION (above) is to give you a quick idea of the work you
will be performing. You MUST closely follow the entire SERVICE PROCEDURE as it
contains information that is essential to successfully completing this repair.
Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are
properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job
properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO
NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: Repairs performed for this bulletin require CONSULT-III plus Diagnostic
result reporting function-Setting to be ON and Diagnosis (All Systems) to be performed. If
not done, it may result in a repair being non-warrantable.
E.
Precautions when Disassembling a CVT Assembly
Transmissions are vulnerable to particles (dust, metal, lint, etc.).
When disassembling a CVT, make sure your work environment (shop, workbench, etc.),
transmission area (sub-frame, oil pan, harness connector, etc.), and your hands are free of
contamination.
To avoid damage to the CVT:



Wash and clean the exterior of the CVT assembly prior to disassembling to prevent
debris and contamination from entering.
Cover all air breather and drive shaft holes to prevent water intrusion.
Make sure all parts are clean prior to assembling / installing to prevent debris and
contamination from entering.
HINT:
 Refrigerating oil seals may help in assembly (axle and T/C seals).
 Unpack service parts just before installation.
 Apply rust penetrant to locator / dowel pins on the torque converter housing and side
cover of the CVT and allow to soak to help with disassembly.

Store the related parts that have
been removed separately to prevent
being mixed up; small cups can be
used.
Figure 7

NTB19-076a
HINT: The CVT unit wiring harness
connector will be reused during this
procedure. The wiring harness can be
disconnected from the control valve at the
wiring harness connector and remain in the
CVT.

AND INSTALLATION - CONTROL VALVE.
HINT: The number ‘7’ is on the head of all bolts that need to be removed for control
valve removal. Do not remove any bolt that does not have the number ‘7’.
To prevent damage to the CVT, never allow any chemicals or fluids other than
NS-3 CVT fluid or equivalent to enter the CVT assembly. Never allow any
foreign debris, dust, dirt, etc. to enter the CVT assembly.

Sealant:
 Loctite 5460 (see PARTS INFORMATION on page 95)
 Color: Pink
IMPORTANT:
 Confirm that the mating surfaces are clean before applying sealant.
 Make sure that the starting point and the ending point of the sealant is between
two bolt holes. Overlap both ends of the bead by 3 – 5 mm.
To prevent possible leaks, be careful not to contact or contaminate the sealant. If the
sealant has been disturbed or contaminated in any way before case assembly,
thoroughly clean the mating surfaces of the CVT case and re-start from step 73.

IMPORTANT:
Before continuing, it is recommended that you review and understand the instructions on
pages 51 through 55.
The sub-assembly will lower into the CVT case without applying extra vertical force.
IF THE SUB-ASSEMBLY DOES NOT LOWER COMPLETELY,
INTERFERENCE IS PRESENT.
! PHYSICAL
Key Technique: Raise to remove weight on interference, adjust as necessary, and
then lower again.
Use the “visual gap size” below (Figure 106 and Figure 107), between the sub-assembly
and the CVT case, to determine the cause of interference.

Carefully, lower the Lifting Fixture to install the sub-assembly into the CVT case until a

Figure 112 on page 53.

Look into the bearing bore to confirm the output gear is centered (Figure 109).

Place hands on top of the sub-assembly to keep it level and guide it into the
CVT case.

If the sub-assembly will not lower farther than 44 mm (1.75 inches) the
output gear did not clear the bearing bore (Figure 108).
Sub-assembly will not lower past 44 mm (1.75 inches)?

occur. If the sealant has been disturbed or contaminated in any way, remove the sealant
completely and re-start from step 73 on page 48.
78.
Align the parking rod with the parking pawl as follows:
IMPORTANT: Perform step 78 while there is a 38 mm (1.5 inch) gap between the
sub-assembly and CVT case (Figure 112).
1. Rotate the shift select lever clockwise on the side of the CVT to adjust the parking
rod to the highest position.
2. Use a magnet, or similar tool, to align the parking rod in the CVT case (
in
Figure 111) with the opening in the parking pawl (
in Figure 110) in the side
cover.
HINT: If the parking rod is not located correctly it will keep the case from lowering.

Continue to slowly lower the sub-assembly into the CVT case.

If the primary and the secondary pulley bearings do not align properly with their
bores (Figure 113) or are at an angle, a gap of 19 mm (0.75 inches) may be
present.
 As needed, level the sub-assembly as it is lowered into the CVT case to help the
primary and the secondary pulley bearings align in their bores.
 MINOR LEVELING ADJUSTMENTS with limited weight on the sub-assembly will
help the installation. Vertical force is not needed.
 Once the sub-assembly is LEVEL, the primary and the secondary pulley bearings
will smoothly align while lowering.
Sub-assembly will not lower past 19 mm (0.75 inches)?

If this occurs Do NOT force the sub-assembly into the case.
a. Raise the sub-assembly slightly.
b. Level the sub-assembly (visually check the gap between case and sub-assembly
side cover and confirm that it is even all around).
c. Gently lower the sub-assembly.
d. Gently shake the sub-assembly horizontally, lower, raise and repeat as needed
to help align.
e. Lower to engage the dowel pins and a 6 mm (0.25 inch) gap is between the subassembly and CVT case.

without a gap before installing the bolts. The bolts CANNOT be used to draw the cases
together. DO NOT APPLY VERTICAL FORCE.

Once the dowel pins are cleared, ease the sub-assembly down onto the CVT case
until the case halves are flush.

Confirm the dowel pins are clean and aligned and are not catching on the subassembly case cover.
To avoid personal injury, ensure your fingers are not between the CVT case and the subassembly. They may become pinched while seating the components together.
Sub-assembly will not lower past 6 mm (0.25 inches)?
If the sub-assembly will not lower past 6 mm (0.25 inches), the primary pulley splines are
not aligned.

If this occurs Do NOT force sub-assembly into the case.
a. Raise the sub-assembly slightly so the weight is not completely on the primary
pulley splines.
b. Slightly rotate the primary pulley through the bottom of the CVT and then lower
the sub-assembly.
c. Repeat as needed.

originally installed in the CVT. Pay careful attention, REASSEMBLY MAY NOT BE
IDENTICAL TO DISASSEMBLY.

Confirm that the QR label, control valve and CD part numbers all match before
installing the control valve (refer to NTB12-103).

For additional information, see video # 547: “CVT Belt and Pulley Replacement” and
fast forward to minute marker 20:09. This video is located under the TECH TRAINING
