Can't accelerate

[just]

Suddenly my latio (5.5yrs) cant accelerate above 60km/h. Pressing the acceleraor, the rev go up to 4 but the car cant go faster, stuck around 60km/hr. Anyone experience this problem before ? What is the cause ?

Any chance tat OD or Sport mode was activated?

[just]

Checked , the od/sport button is not activated . The engine noise is very loud than normal driving .

Have you been travelled or jammed for long hours? Has your battery changed? off engine for 10mins and try again.

Sound like valve body got problem. Something to do with gearbox. However,  part can be change . No need change gear box. Symptoms.. like cannot change gear in manual  car. Stuck in gear two or third.. of course car cannot run.

Can share where you went for repair? Recon gearbox? Not overhaul right? Cause CVT cannot overhaul... my reverse gear engage also jerky.. now monitoring... see need to change anot ...

I faced the same problem too.. But after restart the car it seems to be ok but sometimes a bit jerky.. I found out that this incident only happened when there is a traffic jam, you will find the rpm to shoot up suddenly when u try to accelerate. Anyway, do you mind to share more about your repair or replace work? I heard of overhaul cvt gb with warranty but not sure how good is it... Thanks!!

After reading all above post.. I think my past thread might be useful to all.

1.  If possible, dun anyhow change CVT GEARBOX. It can be overhaul. Parts can be replaced
2.  It is not always a malfunctioned gearbox fault. But the support parts/sub parts tagged along,  like valves body or whatever lead to the problem.

Unidentified recon gearbox.. minimal 5 years already, first model till now.Yes, some may say it is a imported recon from Japan..just doubtful.

Get some gearbox workshop expert and not normal workshop opinion.  Most workshop will suggest change gearbox because they are not gearbox expert. they can only replace it.

Nissan CVT should last. al least in Yankee's state.

Just my 2¢.

If some of you guys suspect your gearbox problem irregardless AT or CVT, let me know so that I can arrange a free check and diagnose on your car's gearbox with my friend who is specialises in gearboxes overhaul.

You can sms/whatsapp to my mobile with your name, contact, vehicle number and gearbox type and I will arrange the timing for you to go down.

hi bro, any recommendation of workshop that can repair gearboxes for the benefits of bros who might need this service in future?

Erm I did some research on gearbox changing though...

Ellipse quoted 2.8k before gst. There is another company @ Loyang called Jackson Powertrain (you can google it), they quoted me only 2.0k (if you need the contact I think I took the lady's namecard).

Instead of changing the gearbox, I went down to Autobacs@Loyang to change CVT fluid and it seemed to work? . The gearbox functioning more smoothly.. there will still be abit of jerking but it is much better suddenly.. still monitoring though...

According to the lady I talked to at Jackson powertrain, she said that CVT cannot be "overhauled". They will just take a recon version and put it in. There is no parts to replace because Nissan does not provide the parts? Yea, I took her words with a pinch of salt though.

Ya funny, if CVT unable to overhaul, so how they take recon, short for re-conditioned gearbox for replacement.
