Thanks so much for responding back Rami. I appreciate it must be an extremely stressful time for you.
You did the right thing Rami, you investigated it thoroughly.
Did Nissan drop the oil by any chance? Was it the correct one is what I'm getting at?
And did they give you the fault code/s the car was throwing up.
I note that yours was an earlier model as well, I haven't heard of any of the v2 CVT's having the issues - anyone?
A bit off topic, but just to clarify, I no longer own a GT-8, I sold it because of our circumstances and the trans issue played no part in the sale and although it took a long time, I still got the price I wanted. I did however feel I had a responsibility to tell the potential new owner about potential issues with the CVT as have been reported here over the years, but for me, I otherwise just drove, maintained and sold it as a normal car. However it was easily the best car I ever owned and the potential CVT issues were just another puzzle that I got hooked on cracking. It may be fine for some to just give in and spread the rumour and just blame the CVT and in the process effectively kill other owners resale values without proof. You really need to watch what some of you guys say in these forums. Think about how you would feel if someone was trashing your investment. Why not be constructive instead? By all means post the facts of issues, but lets work together to definitively work out what goes wrong and how to help others prevent it.
