Beautiful South Martin 24 Posted November 5, 2022 Just bought a 45k Nisan Note 1.4 petrol auto and when driving it back from auction noticed a grating/catching noise. Thinking something had come adrift on the suspension or brakes booked into my local repairer. He has rang today to say everything is ok underneath but he thinks its a noise from the gearbox? I never had much to do with these Note auto's as normally buy them in manual. Ive got a good contact for gearbox repairs but he doesn't touch auto boxes. Any clues anybody to what it might be?...........Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halfpenny 114 Posted November 6, 2022 What model year? I think first gen. (up to 2012) had a conventional 4 speed Jatco. Later had the Jatco CVT7 - troublesome... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halfpenny 114 Posted November 11, 2022 On 11/7/2022 at 6:30 PM, Beautiful South Martin said: Yes its a 2014 ok. It has the Jatco CVT7 ('7' because its 7th generation, not 7 speed). Its also known by various other Jatco designations depending on pulley size, belt width fitted... e.g. JF011E. JF015E etc etc. Its been fitted to various cars from Nissan, Mitsubishi, Suzuki etc. But NOT Toyota or Honda (who make their own much better CVTs). The CVT7 is my least-favourite CVT because they have lots of weaknesses and realistically you will struggle to get a decent long term repair done in the UK. My suggestion is either a dealer recon unit (expensive!) or a known good secondhand unit.
