Easiest way to tell, does it sound like a weedeater when you accelerate?Thank you. How do I tell if it does?
And to be honest, I have never even looked under the hood of her car!

On a CVT system, when you take off the engine accelerates before the wheels start turning and then as the car gets faster the slip reduces, and the engine sound is more in line with velocity.

We had an Accord CVT without any CVT problems (but had others) and Nissan has ALWAYS had CVT issues. I drove stick Datsuns/Nissans for 19 years before going elsewhere when I wanted a slush box.

Whheeeew! My out of date 2016 Frontier doesn't have the new modern stuff like CVT. The trucks, vans and z's have regular transmissions.The Nissan trucks seem to be doing pretty good. That Frontier is pretty tried and true at this point (it's been the same design for something like 12 years), and that Titan seems to be stacking up pretty well too. One of my colleagues has a Nissan SUV with the CVT so I'm waiting to see how this one holds out for him.
Some TCU's are programmed to "step" instead of slip linearly to try and reduce wear, so the uneducated or oblivious may still interpret it to be a more typical automatic transmission.
