What actually fails on the Sentra and Versa, and what we do about it
The smaller CVT7 in these cars slips the same way its bigger siblings do, and the judder feels identical. On an economy car the numbers matter more than anywhere else, because the cost of a new transmission has to be weighed against what the car is worth. We will give you that number straight, and we will tell you if we think the answer is no. What we will not do is rebuild the CVT to make the quote look better, because a rebuilt unit fails again and you would be back. If any CVT warranty coverage still applies to your car, we will help you find it first.

Worst-case rebuild, and they had it done in a day and a half. The guys worked late and came in early to get me back on the road.
