then its the later type cvt, with a conventional torque converter (not a magnetic clutch)
Hi Frank. Thanks for that info. I wonder if I can pick you brain please, as you clearly have good knowledge for Micras. I started another post previously regarding my 2002 K11
https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/k11-over-reving.67308/#post-748143
The car drives but has sometimes slips gears or goes into limp mode. I then have to turn the car on and off for it to continue its journey, it does this a few times and then drives but changes gears sluggishly and on higher revs. I have taken the car to 3 mechanics, one of which was an old school Nissan specialist who run an official Nissan diagnostic machine on the car. I have attached the read out.
All mechanics have said it is a gear box issue and that ultimately it will need to be replaced, but I am looking for other options first, hence the reason I am looking to see if it could have been the carbon brushes.
Now when the Nissan specialist cleared the fault, my car RAN LIKE A DREAM again, then 5-10 minutes later the problem came back again. So by that rationale, if it is indeed a gear box issue, why would clearing the fault simply make the car run better for 5-10 minutes?
This is why I think the problem may be something more simple, like a faulty sensor or maybe even the gear box oil or CVT Filter. But bearing that in mind I would imagine if it is something as simple as that, then the mechanics would have told me.
Do you have any suggestions before I end up scrapping the car? Lastly, when I fill the car on a full tank it seems to run a bit better. Don't know if that info helps, and I would greatly appreciate any help you may have on this.
Cheers,
Ian.
