Automatic transmission Nissan Almera 2016
The 2016 Nissan Almera is equipped with two automatic transmission options:
Jatco 4-speed automatic
* Type: Hydraulic transformer machine
* Number of gears: 4
* Drive: Front or full
CVT (variable transmission) Jatco
*Type: Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
* Number of gears: Continuously variable
* Drive: Front
Gearbox Features:
*Both transmissions offer smooth shifting and fuel economy.
* The 4-speed automatic transmission is more reliable and has a longer service life, but is less efficient and does not provide as smooth a ride as a CVT.
* CVT provides smoother, more efficient acceleration, lower fuel consumption and better handling.
Reliability:
*Both transmissions are considered fairly reliable, but the 4-speed automatic transmission has a longer history of trouble-free operation.
* Timely maintenance (oil and filter changes) is critical to ensuring transmission longevity.
Service:
* The manufacturer recommends changing the oil and filter in a 4-speed automatic transmission every 60,000-90,000 km.
* CVT oil and filter should be replaced every 40,000-60,000 km.
* Regularly checking your transmission fluid level and condition will help prevent costly repairs.
