Hello,, I have a 2009 Nissan altima with cvt transmission 2.5L,my question is my car always sound like it’s struggling when driving even after a oil change I took the car in nothing is wrong with it but the when I drive the engine has a medium to loud sound like a cat purring…is it the CVT transmission. Thank you very much
Mileage? Also can you please make a YouTube video of the noises and post the link here?
Hi yes mileage is 64000
Are you meaning the transmission is slipping? I am not sure of your mileage, but the transmissions Nissan uses are junk. Most likely your transmission is starting to fail.
Cars with CVT transmission sounds like a boat when you floor them. Is that what you are experiencing?
Yes exactly like a boat..sorry for late response
No worries. Just make sure you take care of that transmission by changing the fluid regularly. Change it now and then every 30k miles.
Ok thanks , so it is a normal sound? It’s just the fluid ?
The sound is normal. Do the drain and refill for the transmission fluid.
