Hi everyone, 2017 SL with 95k miles, I've noticed that occasionally right as I hit 0 mph at a light, my RPMs will dip below 500 on the tach and I can feel a rumble for a second as it dips below 500 RPM, then goes back up to 700-1000 (normal) range. Didn't used to do it and this started recently.

I'm not too mechanically versed so just thought I'd ask here before messing with anything. Thanks!

 

Normal. Torque Converter unlocking just a tad late. Mine does this all winter then clears up in spring/summer/fall.

 

Ahh good to know. Thanks for the response!

 

Has the CVT been serviced lately?. The mileage it was done? If you have the CVT fluid changed, (recommended) also remind them to change the round internal filter as well.

Does the CVT have a torque converter like a conventional automatic?

 

She does. 2016-2019 Nissan Maxima Converter Assembly-Torque
Part Number: 31100-29X0E

 

Thanks for the answer. Was not sure.

 

Yup I have the CVT fluid done every 30k!
