About NISSAN Transmission Assemblies Spare Parts

Your Nissan's transmission assembly is the component joined to the engine that allows the vehicle to be driven at different speeds. If it isn't functioning properly, you might find yourself unable to shift gears smoothly, or in some cases, at all.

The four main types of transmission assemblies include manual, automatic, automated manual transmission (AMT) and continuous variable transmission (CVT). The AMT, like the manual transmission, uses a mechanical clutch. What makes the two different is in how the clutch is controlled - it's electronically, pneumatically or hydraulically controlled automatically instead of with a clutch pedal. The CVT has a continuously variable drive ratio rather than normal step gear ratios, which allows for much smoother acceleration without breaks required for gear changes. Nissan was the first car manufacturer to offer CVTs for engine displacements as large as 3.5 liters in the form of its XTRONIC CVT. The XTRONIC is able to achieve a top-of-class final gear reduction ratio of about 6; what this provides for Nissan owners is better acceleration and fuel efficiency.
