    I'm very impressed by the mileage tbh. I was under the impression that most CVT's begin to fail sometime between mile 60,000 and mile 120,000 on an Altima. Maybe I'm off on that? I was planning on selling mine somewhere around 60-70,000 mark because of that transmission expense.... and I've heard it's often above $6k.

    I've heard many of them suffer greatly immediately after the fluid service and end up failing. Damned if you don't, damned if you do. Awesome low HP transmissions while they work, though.

    If you had time or a teenage boy you could probably part it out on ebay.

    You are absolutely on the mark.
    We did CVT transmission fluid change with Idemitsu fluid (forum people said oem). It was very simple. If she still kept the vehicle, I would have done 36k fluid change.
