You mean to tell me no one replaces 'normal' Auto Tranny's? Nobody experiences Auto tranny failures on any other vehicle?
Here is my track record: I have an 08 Altima with the CVT. I love the smooth quite non-bumpy ride when I am just taking a "family" ride somewhere, or stuck driving in heavy traffic. If you've never experienced a CVT going up a steep upgrade with no shifting, abrupt bucking, and gear hunting, then you don't know the CVT's merits.
And, since I don't abuse it, I've not had to do anything on it but change the fluid at the regular maintenance intervals.
I also have an '05 Titan, and its the 'normal' auto tranny. I have had no issues with it either, and it is fun to drive too.
..and last but not least, I bought my 370Z with a manual tranny for the sportiness and the thrill. Each vehicle has its own prupose and mission, and I love driving them all.
