i got 2007 max with 41000 miles with CVT..and i been hearing a clicking/ticking noise between 1500-2500 rpms..but when i push the gas little nd it shifts i dont hear anything after that just between 1500-2500 in CVT mode. if i turn the AC on it clicks more..u can only hear it when u drive by a crubs or walls...is anyone else have this issue? i drove by a 09 or 10 max nd i didnt hear anything..but when i let my friend drive mine i can heared it with windows down..

 

Yeah I hear clicks here and there at random times. That's a CVT for ya but at least we have a 120k warranty on ours. You should be worried if you feel it slip from one "gear" to the next. That means that your trans is going out but you shouldn't worry about that. Your shiz is fine.

 

And yeah, you have to get used to some of the weird azz noises that comes with a CVT. I swear I was paranoid as hell for the first year wondering if there was a problem with my ride.

 

bu i been told by other member that it chould be some exhuat shield thats broken but it doesnt make sense to if the shield is broken then why it only makes noise between 1500-2500 rpms y not at all times

 

that might be true

 

That might be a possibility. I have no idea how to check it though and suggest that if this is REALLY bothering you. Then an option is to go to the dealership and pay a ridiculous fee for a diagnostics test OR you can get an oil change ($50) and they will do a 5-point inspection that is included in the deal.

I would go with the second one since the dealership is always trying to make some extra cash and will check EVERYTHING to see if there are problems. Doesn't mean that you have to go along with it but it gives you the opportunity to find out what's wrong. Free of charge.

 

i just went under the car nd found one broken exhaust shield..removed it and took her for test drive same sound but not as much..so i guessing its coim from head cylinders..

 

The exhaust flange is usually the culprit.

There was a TSB floating around here somewhere to get it fixed through Nissan.

 

thanks can you tell me little more about the exhaust flange..? but idk at some point i think its the cylinders..but again car has only 41000 mileage near took to track or burnout..so im confused..if its the exhaust they i will open the whole **** and throw it out

 

I typed Exhaust TSB into the search box...

About halfway through the thread there are pics of what is probably causing your noise.

 

yes i checked that yesterday that was fine its not broken but the front one is..so i just took it off and been driving today without it but the noise is same..

 

You better get it checked out before it gets worse.

 

ya buy it doesnt do on idle or anything but the warrnty is off too its just betweeen those ****ing rpms......!!!

 

but today a newer toyota camry was doin the same ****...I bought the car with 23000 miles on it nd well taken care off it till now..wht engine oil it recommend for our cars btw..im gonna try chnagein it nd see whts up with it

 

Don't change it, our cars require a special transmission fluid from the dealership. If your going to get some then go there. On another note, that's really not going to fix your problem.

 

No bro i already have done it from nissan..im taking abt the engine oil

 

was your issue ever resolved?!???

 

Oooooooooh, my mistake bro.

 

Oooooooooh, my mistake.

 

hey stop with all these theroies it is yourmotor mount had this problem twice they give you electronic moto mounts they are so fragile they suck worst thing to ever put into a "four door sports car" look inbetween your radiator and your motor if there a crack in the front mount then there ya go..

 

no not yet but i heard a altima doin the same ****

 

i will check that tom..thanks

 

so is it better to go with non CVT?
