this is the second transmission i have put in this.. these cvt's are complete garbage and nissan is aware of it. Stand behind your product for once and replace this transmission on your dime. Will drive perfect sometimes and then randomly 3k-5k rpms and wont shift. sometimes i can shut it off and restart it and it will work fine again. sometimes it wont and i have to drive around with excessively high rpms. Also what is this annoying air suction noise i hear under throttle, sounds like an intake or blow off valve. there are zero vaccum leaks,

Codes p1778 (sep motor function) and p00845 (transmission fluid pressure) for the CVT transmission. In researching these, I found many complaint trails concerning these transmissions and various related codes. Nissan's answer is always to replace the transmission at high costs to owner. Mine continues to run but in a kind of crippled mode called "safe mode" that is an attempt to reduce major transmission damages. Codes occurred during driving on side streets under 45 MPH. Vehicle can no longer be used at highway speeds as the "safe mode" limits RPM and speed.
