Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the FWD/2WD or the AWD Pathfinder transmission?

This unit is specifically engineered for Front-Wheel Drive (FWD/2WD) Pathfinder models and will not fit AWD versions. Installing a FWD transmission on an AWD vehicle will cause severe fitment misalignment.

Will it fit my 2013–2020 Nissan Pathfinder 3.5 V6?

Yes, this transmission directly fits 2013–2020 Nissan Pathfinder R52 models equipped with the 3.5L V6 VQ35DE engine and FWD drivetrain. Be sure to swap over your original electronic sensors during the replacement.

Is this a JDM used unit, and what mileage does it have?

Yes, this is an authentic imported Japanese Domestic Market unit with approximately 55,000 to 65,000 miles. JDM transmissions generally feature lower mileage and cleaner maintenance history than domestic salvage parts.

Are Pathfinder CVTs reliable — will this replacement hold up?

While stock Pathfinder CVTs can experience thermal degradation over long periods, installing a tested low-mileage JDM replacement restores proper hydraulic pressure. Regular fluid changes using genuine NS-3 fluid will keep this transmission performing reliably.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes, every unit comes backed by our standard 90-day warranty covering internal mechanical components. This ensures complete buyer protection from the day your shipment arrives.

How is this heavy V6 CVT shipped, and do you deliver nationwide?

We ship this heavy V6 transmission nationwide across all 48 lower states using palletized freight carriers. Orders placed before 1 PM EST are dispatched the very same business day.
