2013-2019 Nissan Sentra 1.8L FWD – Remanufactured Automatic Trans

Description

Calibrated for compact front-wheel commuter sedans, Nissan Sentra 2013-2019 Remanufactured Transmission units handle 1.8L MRA8DE engine output in FWD compact sedan chassis. This remanufactured CVT automatic transaxle manages 130 continuous horsepower, 128 lb-ft maximum torque, and an engine ceiling of 6000 RPM while maintaining internal hydraulic clamping line pressure of 800 PSI.

A lightweight die-cast aluminum transaxle case encases precision-machined primary and secondary variator pulleys and an auxiliary sub-planetary gear unit linked by a high-tensile steel drive belt. The hydraulic pump housing receives a hardened steel flow control valve with an anodized sleeve to prevent bore wear and hydraulic pressure drop. Sump volume holds 7.3 quarts of approved Nissan NS-3 fluid. Total dry transaxle weight measures 155 lbs, fitted with an integrated differential and balanced torque converter.

Key Features of Nissan Sentra

Fleet operators choose to buy Nissan Sentra 2013-2019 remanufactured transmission units to restore smooth acceleration and eliminate belt slip in commercial compact car fleets. Factory reconditioning replaces all critical drive elements and control valves to guarantee continuous torque transfer under demanding urban driving conditions.

• Auxiliary sub-planetary gear unit broadens ratio coverage while keeping transaxle casing dimensions compact.
• High-tensile steel drive belt with micro-polished element bands eliminates belt slippage across pulley sheaves.
• 7.3-quart fluid capacity stabilizes transaxle temperatures during prolonged stop-and-go city delivery routes.
• 2013-2019 Sentra replacement valve body features tested linear solenoids to eliminate shift hesitation.
• Sentra 2013-2019 torque converter package features upgraded friction linings to eliminate low-speed vibration.
• Stepless variable ratio range provides seamless transition from launch gear down to tall overdrive.
• 800 PSI hydraulic clamping pressure locks pulley sheaves tight to protect the internal drive belt.

Subcompact Pulley Ratio Thermal Management

An internal high-output gear pump maintains hydraulic clamping pressures between 150 and 800 PSI, keeping fluid sump temperatures within 165°F to 195°F. Input torque absorption handles 128 lb-ft at 3600 RPM without belt slip. The stepless pulley ratio ranges wide from launch down to overdrive, keeping the 1.8L engine in its ideal fuel efficiency zone. An external transaxle cooler loop sheds excess heat through dedicated fluid lines, protecting pulley sheave surfaces and internal needle bearings from thermal distress.

Front-Wheel Drive CV Axle Interface

Dual 25-spline differential output hubs link straight with factory front constant velocity axle shafts. Internal differential side gear backlash is held within 0.0025 inches on dial indicators, stopping front-wheel driveline vibration. Bell housing dowel sleeves align the transaxle case square against the engine block face, preserving input shaft centerlines under hard acceleration.

Dynamometer Spin Testing Maintenance Schedule

Every transaxle undergoes computerized dynamometer spin testing under simulated road load resistance to calibrate stepper motor travel, verify secondary clamping pressures, and evaluate forward clutch hold. This automatic transaxle is not engineered for nitrous-assisted street racing, aftermarket turbocharger additions, or operations using non-approved universal automatic transmission fluid without proper ratings.

• Check transmission fluid level and deterioration counter data using scan tools every 30 operating days.
• Drain and refill approved Nissan synthetic transaxle fluid every 30,000 miles.
• Flush external transmission fluid cooler circuits every 12 months to prevent particulate blockage.

Transaxle Crate Manifest Warranty Inclusions

A 3-Year unlimited mileage warranty protects commercial fleet buyers against premature mechanical and hydraulic defects. Each sturdy wooden transport crate holds the complete remanufactured automatic transaxle, a balanced lockup torque converter, installation paperwork, cooler flushing guidelines, and fluid specification documentation tags specifying approved transaxle fluid.
