Can I drive with a transmission problem?
If your Nissan Murano can still make it up and down the road, you might say “It’s fine, I’ll just drive it until I can get it fixed”. But that is not always a good idea, depending on the symptoms. You see, there are a lot of (very expensive) moving parts inside of a transmission, and if something isn’t right, continuing to drive with a transmission problem could damage something else.
How often does a Nissan Murano transmission need to be replaced?
The overall lifespan of a Nissan Murano transmission largely depends on how well it was maintained. Factory design flaws also factor into this equation, along with how/how hard you drive. But on average, we’ve seen the Nissan Murano transmission last for between 130,000-180,000 miles. A high quality replacement transmission however, can last considerably longer if all of the factory design flaws have been addressed and the vehicle has been maintained.
How are Nissan Murano transmission issues diagnosed?
It is fairly easy to guesstimate what the root cause of your Nissan Murano transmission problems might be, but you won’t truly know unless you have the right tools and experience. A good mechanic or transmission repair center will be able to connect your truck to a computer and find out which diagnostic trouble codes (DTC’s) have been stored. Once they know what to look for, they can perform a visual inspection to verify the problem.
How is a Nissan Murano transmission replaced?
In order to replace your Nissan Murano transmission, the truck has to be lifted from the ground in order to gain access to all of the parts that will need to be unbolted. Then the transmission can be lowered to the ground (typically with a transmission jack), so the new transmission can be installed. Once it is in place, for the 6L80, the vehicle PCM will have to be reprogrammed / reflashed to accept the new transmission using the latest GM subscription.

How to Solve Nissan Murano Transmission Problems
Solution A: Buy a Used Nissan Murano Transmission
The quickest way to fix your transmission problems is to simply buy a used transmission or used transmission. These can be found at most junk yards, and they often come with a 30-90 day warranty. However, there’s no way to determine the actual condition of the internal components, so you could be spending a bunch of money to have the exact same problems. Plus, that warranty only covers the transmission if it’s defective, not the labor costs that you’ll have to pay.
Solution B: Buy a Rebuilt Nissan Murano Transmission
Another option would be a rebuilt transmission or rebuilt transmission. A local repair shop will remove your transmission, then install a bunch of new parts during the rebuild. The problem here is, the skills and experience of each transmission rebuilder will vary widely from shop to shop, so you could have problems from something that wasn’t adjusted properly. And the 1-2 year warranty might only cover you at certain transmission repair shops, in a specific geographical area.
Solution C: Buy a Remanufactured Nissan Murano Transmission
What Transmission Do I Have?
Many owners depend on their vehicle to commute and get things done. Their gasoline engines are designed to go 100’s of thousands of miles, so it makes sense to invest in a remanufactured transmission.
2006 2 wheel drive Murano, 129,500 miles. Transmission failing. Po463, Po868 ‘Fuel Level Sensor, Secondary pressure drop. cost to replace. $3345.60 rebuilt — 2073.50 labor plus tax and fluids = $6,000. ANYONE HAVE A BETTER IDEA?
It’s drive good until I warm up then when you stop and go to drive again the transmission quits working
I just had the transmission replaced in my 2009 Nissan Murano last month. 2 weeks later the battery died.i had the battery replaced. 2 weeks later, the car won’t move and won’t start.
I have the same problem. I have a new battery, alternator, and starter replaced recently as well. I am now giving up and will be parting out or donating this pos. Too much time has been spent on this car…
It’s stuck in overdrive how do I get it out and why
I have a 2017 Nissan Murano SV. At 81,000 Miles my transmission went out or started going out. It’s throwing a current code for p0965 and two past codes for p 0776, and p1715. I contacted North Atlantic Nissan dealership to request a claim. They contact me back a couple days later said that there’s nothing they could do for me. It’s nearly $5,000 to get this replacement fixed a year and a half after I bought the car for $21,000. Is there somewhere else I can still file a claim or get assistance or anything from Nissan or the manufacturer of the transmission to get a deduct on a new one or covered for new one. I regularly maintenance through an auto shop two transmission fluid changes at 30,000 miles and 60,000 mi and I have the records for those. At 82,000 miles my transmission just boom suddenly went out. I can’t afford to cost of $5,000 to fix it. If I knew how to diagnose and fix the solenoid and it didn’t take an advanced knowledge mechanic to do so with some guidance I would do that. Is there anybody out there that has some ideas for me? The warranty was only for 60,000 miles on powertrain transmission went out at 82,000 miles. Is there still some kind of partial claim I can get to help cover the transmission or anything like that does anybody know?
Can you tell me if a 2008 Nissan murano transmission will interchange with a 2013 Nissan Rogue 2.5 L
I have a P0845 error in our Nissan Murano. Does it really require a transmission replacement?
If you check fluid levels and wiring to trans and they are good you probably have a trans fluid pressure sensor that has gone bad
Hi I own a 2013 Nissan Murano SV with 110 k miles, there is a sound like trrr noice coming from the transmission when moving forward, It is not loud but it is audible at up to 50 mph, no lights or codes showing and there are no failures whatsoever Or shaking.
But I am afraid that the noise in time might become a bigger problem.
The location of the noise was identified By the mechanic.
Have a 2011 murano with 76000 miles transmission and engine signal came on went to dealer of course can’t do anything till Monday they said it is trans does Nissan cover anything I know it’s a 2011 but only 76000 stuck here in Oklahoma City nice place but we were on our way to Boulder City NV I guess just because your heading to Vegas doesn’t mean you will have great luck any info would be greatly appreciated
Where are you located in ilorin,have you fix CVT transmission problem?
I have a 2013 SLV Nissan Murano that had <80,000 miles and the transmission went out on it. Now, <4,000 miles later the starter and battery went out. I understand the second issue but seems like a manufacturering issue to me. Thoughts?
You should inspect your starter wire to the solenoid for corrosion or breaks
The CVT in my 2005 Murano finally gave it up at the 150,000 mile mark. But I’m not complaining. The last two Chevy Suburbans we have owned both required a new transmissions around 120,000 miles. Drive conditions and usage was about the same between the Murano and the Suburbans. Go figure.
I’m looking at a 2010 Nissan Murano with 207,000 miles is that to many miles should I buy it
Just sold my 2010 Nissan Murano a few months ago with 180000 to my mechanic because the radiator exploded. He sold it as is to someone else. The transmission went shortly afterwards. I would not buy a high mileage Murano with original transmission. Way too expensive to repair.
Get a Toyota. Stay away from Nissan . I have 101000 on my Murano 2013 and the transmission went on me. The lift gate also will not open. Sucks.
my 2013 Murano SV AWD, the trans crapped out at 106,000, and I also have problems with the lift gate. Nice looking vehicle, but wondering if I should spend the $4k or just by a new suv?
I have a 2007 Nissan Murano a couple of days ago the transmission will only shift in first and reverse not 2nd and 3rd today I drained the transmission fluid strained it through a strainer put the transmission fluid back in and it shifted fine for about 45 minutes now it is back to doing the same thing only first gear
Why are these problems popping up, does NISSAN tests all their vehicles before putting out in the market?
Because of CVT transmission designs never being meant to take the stress of a V6. GM never got it to work right on anything over a low powered 4 cylinder.
I have a 2010 Nissan murano transmission started leaking an I think its internal its leaking right where the breath hole is what do I do
It’s definitely the transmission. Just had the same thing Happen to me. If your under 120k Nissan will cover it.
Is that on any year Nissan with 120.000 or less miles.
Does Nissan cover 2007 if it is under 120,000
I have a 2011 murano Sv 76000 miles trans problem have to wait till Monday for them to look at it no service open after 5 stuck here in Oklahoma City on way to nv does Nissan cover anything I know it’s a 2011
Yes, but you have to be servicing with Nissan to get that covered.
Mine just went out at 102k. They only coverd 50% Im paying out 2500. plus rental car.. There a joke..
