Please, can someone educate me on why Murano transmissions are such a nightmare for Nigerians? Last week, I heard an owner sold his for 300k after transmission issues.

big boss, no once once we dey sight u..... like buhari lol...but anywia I see u ehn I go turn paparazzi.


the problem with that tranny is lack of technical know how. the infrastructure and knowledge for handling such tech isn't too rampant in Nigeria.

exactly what I have been shouting about.

only a select few can maintain such Tech and it's not nationwide.

bring that kinda vehicle to abakaliki without relocating people or persons that will be servicing it for u ehn and that's the end
first service, kazeem will want to help u fill the fluid to the brim with jezco atf... and that's how u will spend 200k to change it then still sell it 250k

Because Nissan cvt oil which is same thing as Abro is too expensive...

Kashif:

Do they also bungle replacement units?.

Kashif:


Nissan CVTF same as Abro? I don't understand.

Kashif:


LOL! Buhari ke Your boy dey o.

I am curious. Is it not the same CVT we have in other Nissans? Maybe they use ATF instead of CVTF on those?

I know there are problems with the flow control valves but the failure is just too much. Do they also bungle replacement units? No one wants to near them.

diportivo:

that's what ogakazeem will tell u na
that one is just costly for nothing
oyel na oyel

u wan try??

that's how a friend in ibadan was trying to hammer home his point of the CVT being worthless by stating that a mecho close to him changed the trans,and the car didn't even move up to 2km before the gear packed up..... summary is the CVT is a bad thing to own

ofcos they poured abro after installation and were expecting a miracle

na there and then dem decide say na nissan quest transmission sure pass

Kashif:


Abro in a CVT?! What a shame.

latest one I saw last week Thursday was engine oil in a CVT tranny honda city 2007 to be exact.

normally the cvts are very sensitive machines which make them very very difficult for the average car driver to maintain on the long term. they are made for people with a keen understanding of how a car works or those who read manuals and ensure strict compliance..... how many Nigerians read their car manuals? Dem Neva read frsc road signs finish., dem go come carry ababio manual begin read?

secondly it has zero tolerance to abuse... a simple unplugged stuff here and there can cause severe irreparable damage

thirdly the trans does not accept just any fluid like u mentioned. here in SE once u mention gearbox oil, my broda they can even put palm oyel for u inside anything and name it atf.

fourthly the lack of mechanics, technicians and techniques to handle it. the moment u take ur car to a techie for something as unrelated to the gearbox, as; engine not revvingpast 3000rpm, he will just open ur gearbox after opening ur engine - there, right there ..... the trauma begins. like doctor treating cough by performing eye surgery.

lastly and most importantly, the persistent myth about murano and it's gearbox tranny.... when u buy a murano the first thing ur friend tells u is: why na guy... u wan dey buy gear every 6months? they have instilled fear in u already so when something totally unrelated to gearbox... like car not starting occurs.... they invoke that myth into their subconscious and if they manage to fix it by the rough quack and inexperienced hands of a Kareem, after spending a fortune; they will just sell it off immediately @ a devastatingly incredibly cheap price.... even the buyer.... broda; is buying to fix whatever he was not told, drive for six months and resell again.

I would drive a murano, only when:
1. I'm in Lagos full time.
2. I don't give the car to anyone for any reason @ all.
if u r going to the hospital and that car is the only one available and I can't drive, I'll beg Gazuzz to lend u that his premium customer service car that he leases.
3. u r my next door Neighbor That is owing me like 1m that I know u can't pay back. so service is free, from the debt also all vehicle related fees will be handled from that same fee.

OR

4. I'm ur apprentice

1,2 and 3 stand together, 4 stands alone

There is a Murano up for sale now in PH at 270k. I would charge 30k for the information to purchase. Engine and transmission not guaranteed.

The Murano issue is simple. The transmission is a CVT. NS-2 fluid is required during service but a whole lot of mechanics will buy either seahorse or abro ATF and use it in servicing it.

Issue is compounded by owners who feel 'transmission is not changing' when in actual fact, the CVT is just doing it's job.

Readonee35L:
i was scrolling through autos section and i found a 2004 murano for sale
i opened and the car body looks average, interior needs a little touching based on the seats,
I scrolled for more pictures of the hood, then i saw a Toyota 2MZ-FE V6 Motor instead of the 3.5L VQ35DE V6

...
The owner must have been frustrated because of the cvt transmission issues ,and thinks the solution is an engine and transmission swap,
Is the engine swap worth it?
The regular engine produces 245hp while the 2mz-fe produces 200hp, 45hp lost

Based on the pictures of the hood, it looks like a neat job , everything in place, if i didn't see the body , i would have argued its a Toyota
because it still uses Electronic Fuel Injection, most local swaps here uses Carburetor .

seller also said it has AC

i think the person that did the conversion tried based on look of things, but a test drive speaks a lot,
if properly done , his car should have a better mpg because the engine is smaller,

Murano is available in AWD and Fwd, i think this one is FWD

You guys should share your thought and what you feel about it

Hi, can any of the genius auto expert tell me if
1. the 2016 Nissan Murano comes with the same type of engine in the 2004 model?
2. if the engine sitting system is similar?
3. If the 2mz engine can be fitted into the 2016 model Murano the way this was fitted into the 2004?

I understand all the comments about engine swap, fabrications etc... Just need this information to make some informed decisions.
thank Y'All..
