Nissan Sentra 1.8L MRA8DE CVT Transmission for Sale (JDM, 2013 to 2019)

Looking for a Nissan Sentra transmission for the seventh-generation B17 body? This listing is a JDM MRA8DE 1.8L CVT unit built for Sentras from 2013 through 2019. It arrives with roughly 57,000 miles, well below what most used options on the market offer. Since it's a genuine Japanese import, you get a unit pulled from a car that likely saw far less wear than a comparable U.S. spec transmission.

About the MRA8DE CVT

The 1.8L MRA8DE pairs with a Jatco RE0F11A CVT, and it's a different setup than the 2.0L MR20 Sentra transmission from earlier model years. So if you're cross-shopping, confirm your engine size first, since the two units aren't interchangeable. This particular MRA8DE comes as a complete assembly, and it's ready to drop in once you transfer over your original sensors and solenoids.

Fitment

Nissan Sentra 2013 to 2019 (B17)

Warranty

Up to 90 days

Fitment on the B17 Sentra stayed consistent across these model years, but it's still worth matching your VIN before ordering. A freight return on a mismatched unit isn't cheap.

Is This the Same Transmission as the 2.0L Sentra Unit?

No, and this trips up a lot of buyers. The 1.8L MRA8DE and the 2.0L MR20 use different CVT designs entirely, even though both live under the Sentra name. If your car is a 2007 to 2012 model, you'll want the MR20 version instead. This one is built specifically for the 2013 and newer Sentras.

Common Sentra CVT Problems This Replaces

Owners of these Sentras often deal with hesitation, shuddering under acceleration, or a transmission that seems to hunt for the right ratio. This pattern shows up often enough that it has a name: judder. It usually traces back to overheating or fluid that's gone past its service life, not a defect you can't get ahead of. A tested, low-mileage replacement like this one sidesteps that history. 

Our full write-up on Nissan CVT transmission problems breaks down the warning signs in more depth if you want to confirm what you're dealing with first.

Fluid and Relearn After Install

Stick with genuine Nissan CVT fluid here. Substituting a generic ATF or Dexron product can cause shifting issues almost immediately, since these Jatco units are sensitive to spec. Once the transmission is in, plan on a CVT relearn so the control module recalibrates to the new unit. A lot of "bad transmission" complaints after a swap actually trace back to this step getting skipped.

If you're still deciding whether to stick with a CVT replacement or explore other options, our comparison on CVT vs automatic transmission lays out the real differences in simple language.

Warranty and Nationwide Shipping

This unit ships with up to a 90-day warranty, and orders placed before 1 pm Eastern go out the same day. We deliver to all 48 lower states, though residential drops in a few dense metro areas carry a small liftgate fee. Outside the lower 48? Get in touch before you order so we can sort out freight.

If your Sentra falls outside 2013 to 2019, or you need a transmission for a different Nissan model, our Nissan transmissions collection covers the full range. For JDM units across other makes, the JDM transmissions collection is a good next stop.
