Nissan Cube CVT: What You Need to Know

The Nissan Cube's CVT transmission is known for potential issues at higher mileage. If you're shopping for a replacement CVT, consider these tips:

  • Look for CVTs with under 80,000 miles for best longevity
  • Always get warranty coverage (30-90 days minimum)
  • Change CVT fluid every 30,000 miles to extend life
  • Used CVTs: $400-$1,200 | Rebuilt: $1,500-$2,500

Why Buy Used Nissan Cube Parts?

Out of Production

Nissan stopped selling the Cube in the US in 2014. Used parts are often the only affordable option for keeping your Cube running. New OEM parts are increasingly scarce and expensive.

Significant Savings

Used Cube parts cost 50-70% less than new. A used engine costs $600-$1,500 vs $3,000+ new. Used CVTs run $400-$1,200 vs $2,000+ for rebuilt. Smart savings for a quirky ride.

Parts Sharing

The Cube shares many parts with the Nissan Versa. The 1.8L engine, many suspension components, and electrical parts interchange. This expands your parts options significantly.
