Genuine Nissan Transmission Service Kits

A Nissan CVT service needs more than fluid: it takes the right NS-3 or NS-2 fluid, the correct filter, a pan gasket and the small seals that go with them. These transmission service kits put those factory parts together by model and year, so a 2013-2018 Altima service arrives in one box instead of five separate line items. Confirm your model before ordering.

Genuine Nissan Transmission Service Kits, Built by Model

The 2013-2018 Altima kit, ALT-CVTKIT2, is the clearest example of what a kit saves you. It carries 6 quarts of genuine Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid (999PK-CV0NS3), the transmission pan gasket 31397-1XF0D, the CVT filter 31726-28X0A, the filter housing seal 31526-3VX0A and the drain plug gasket 11026-JA00A, plus nitrile gloves and shop towels. Every piece is the factory part, matched to that generation. Ordering those five part numbers one by one is where most people get the filter or the seal wrong.

NS-3 or NS-2: Get the Fluid Right

Nissan CVTs are specific about fluid. The 2013-2018 Altima kit uses NS-3; the 2007-2012 Altima kit is built around NS-2 (999PK-CV0NS2) because that is what those transmissions call for. Putting the wrong generation of fluid into a CVT is not a small mistake, which is why the kits are organized by year range instead of sold as one universal package. If you prefer to buy pieces separately, the NS-3 CVT fluid is also sold by the quart.

Filters Sold on Their Own

This category also carries the individual CVT filters, and their fitment is worth reading closely. Filter 31726-28X0A covers 2015-2020 Altima, 2016-2021 Maxima and 2015-2020 Murano. Filter 31726-3JX0A is the cartridge for Rogue Sport, Pathfinder, Juke, Sentra and Versa applications. Filter 31726-1XA03 fits the 1.8L CVT Cube, and 31726-1XE0A covers earlier 2.5L CVT Altima years. Add your vehicle or enter your VIN and the list narrows to the one that fits.

When a CVT Service Is Due

Watch for a shudder at light throttle around 20 to 40 mph, a delay before the transmission takes up drive, a whine that rises with engine speed, or fluid that has darkened from its factory color. Nissan CVTs are sensitive to fluid condition and heat, so a service done on schedule with the correct fluid is the cheapest transmission work you will ever do. For the rest of the maintenance list, the fluids and chemicals and oil change kits categories cover the same approach.
