Which Nissan Altima CVT do you have?
2007–2012 sedan, 2008–2013 coupe (fourth generation, L32)
A 6-speed manual was standard at first and the CVT was optional. By the 2010 facelift the CVT was standard on most trims and the manual was dropped from dealer orders, though the SR could still be customer-ordered with a manual. The CVT used with the 3.5 V6 is claimed to handle higher torque than other belt CVTs, and used-yard listings give the 2.5 and 3.5 units different interchange numbers.

Wikipedia lists two transmissions: a Jatco CVT8 with an L gear and a Jatco CVT7 with a manual mode, both badged Xtronic. It does not say which engine got which, so the supplier needs your VIN. Wikipedia describes this generation's CVT as refined and 8 lb lighter than before.

Jatco CVT8 Xtronic. Used-yard listings include a 2.5 AWD unit for 2020, and give the 2.0, the 2.5 FWD and the 2.5 AWD units separate interchange numbers.

The fourth-generation Altima Hybrid also used a CVT, with the 2.5 QR25DE. Used-yard listings keep it apart from the regular CVT, so tell the supplier if your car is a hybrid.

- Match the generation. Used-yard listings give each generation's CVT its own interchange number, and the 2013–2018 car came with one of two Jatco units.
- Match the engine. Used-yard listings give the 2.5 and 3.5 versions, and the 2.0 in later cars, different interchange numbers.
- FWD or AWD? EPA records include all-wheel-drive Altimas, and on the 2020 car the AWD unit has its own interchange number.
- Hybrid or emissions version? The Altima Hybrid's CVT is listed separately, and some 2.5 units are split by California or federal emissions. Your VIN settles both.
- Get mileage, testing and warranty in writing. Ask for the donor vehicle's mileage, how the transmission was checked, the warranty term and the freight cost to your ZIP before you pay.

Nissan Altima CVT questions
How much does a used Nissan Altima CVT transmission cost?
Used-yard asking prices for a Nissan Altima CVT typically ran $541 to $3,208 on October 21, 2026. That range runs from the lowest version's 25th percentile to the highest version's 75th percentile, across 3 versions (297 priced listings).

When did the Nissan Altima get a CVT?
With the 2007 model year, when the CVT replaced the conventional automatic as the optional transmission. By 2010 it was standard on most trims, and the U.S. EPA lists the Altima with a CVT in every model year since.
Who makes the Altima's CVT?
Wikipedia names Jatco for the 2013–2018 Altima (a CVT8 or a CVT7) and for the 2019-and-later car (a CVT8). It names no maker for the 2007–2012 car, so the supplier confirms the exact unit from your VIN.
Will a CVT from another Altima year fit mine?
Not necessarily. Used-yard listings split Altima CVTs by generation, engine, drive and even emissions version, so the supplier needs your VIN to quote the right one.
