Has the 2021 Nissan Qashqai's Transmission Been Improved?
1 Answers
Transmission improvements are relatively slow, usually involving only minor modifications to some vulnerable parts. Currently, there is no news indicating that the 2021 Qashqai's transmission has been improved compared to the 2020 model. Below are the relevant details: 1. Transmission: The Qashqai is equipped with a CVT transmission consistently supplied by Jatco. Jatco's CVT transmissions have two common failure points. One is the valve spool in the control valve body, which is prone to wear due to quality issues, necessitating regular transmission fluid changes to prevent excessive metal debris from accelerating wear. The other is the CVT steel belt and cone pulley, which are also prone to wear, requiring drivers to maintain good driving habits. 2. Precautions: It is advisable to accelerate gently and regularly inspect the transmission while frequently changing the transmission fluid to effectively extend the lifespan of the components. Generally, the CVT transmission fluid should be replaced every two years using the gravity drain method.
