Nissan Sentra at a glance
| Type | Continuously variable transmission (CVT), which Nissan markets as Xtronic. The U.S. EPA lists the Sentra with a variable-ratio automatic in every model year from 2007 to 2027.Source: Wikipedia: Nissan Sentra, EPA FuelEconomy.gov, Wikipedia: Continuously variable transmission |
|---|---|
| 2007–2012 (B16) | 2.0 L MR20DE or 2.5 L QR25DE, with a 6-speed manual or a CVT; the SE-R came only with the CVTSource: Wikipedia: Nissan Sentra (sixth generation), EPA FuelEconomy.gov |
| 2013–2019 (B17) | 1.8 L MRA8DE with a CVT on every trim except the base S, which could have a 6-speed manual. The 2017 SR Turbo and NISMO used a 1.6 turbo MR16DDT.Source: Wikipedia: Nissan Sentra (seventh generation), EPA FuelEconomy.gov |
| 2020 on (B18) | 2.0 L MR20DD with the Xtronic CVT on every U.S. model; no manual in the U.S.Source: Wikipedia: Nissan Sentra (eighth generation), EPA FuelEconomy.gov |
| Maker named | Jatco: Wikipedia's list of Jatco transmissions names the Sentra under the JF011E (CVT2) and the 2024 Sentra under the JF023E (CVT XS). It gives no years for the JF011E, so the exact unit is confirmed by VIN.Source: Wikipedia: List of Jatco transmissions |
| Transmission code on the yard listing | Hollander's Sentra labels say CVT and give the engine size, but no Nissan or Jatco code.Source: Hollander: 2016 Sentra transmission options, Wikipedia: Nissan Sentra |
Which Nissan Sentra do you have?
2007–2012: 2.0 or 2.5
Used-yard listings give the 2.0 CVT and the 2.5 CVT (the SE-R's engine) different interchange numbers, and the 2.5 unit was listed far less often.

These used the 1.6 turbo MR16DDT, and the EPA lists their automatic separately from the 1.8 cars. Tell the supplier if your Sentra is one of them.

Sentras with a manual gearbox take a manual transmission, not a CVT, and are listed separately.

- Match the generation. Each Sentra generation's CVT has its own interchange number on used-yard listings.
- Match the engine. On a 2007–2012 car the 2.0 and the 2.5 take different CVTs, and the 2017–2019 turbo models are listed apart from the 1.8.
- Confirm it is a CVT car. Sentras with a manual gearbox need a manual transmission. Your VIN or window sticker settles it.
- 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.

Each row has two sources: Wikipedia's Sentra article and the U.S. EPA records, which list the Sentra with a variable-ratio automatic from 2007 to 2027. Neither gives the Nissan or Jatco part code for a given year, so the exact unit is confirmed by VIN.
Nissan Sentra questions
How much does a used Nissan Sentra transmission cost?
Used-yard asking prices for a Nissan Sentra typically ran $369 to $4,255 on October 22, 2026. That range runs from the lowest version's 25th percentile to the highest version's 75th percentile, across 4 versions (314 priced listings). Remanufactured units were listed from $4,349 to $5,349 (6 offers). Prices vary by version, mileage and shipping, so the supplier quotes your exact part.
Does every Nissan Sentra have a CVT?
Not every one. Most 2007-and-later Sentras do, but a manual was offered on some trims through the 2019 model year. From 2020 every U.S. Sentra has the Xtronic CVT.
Will a CVT from another Sentra year fit mine?
Within a generation it can. On the day we checked, the 2016 Sentra CVT listings came from 2013 to 2016 Sentras, and the 2021 listings from 2021 to 2024 cars. Across generations and engines the part changes, so the supplier matches it by VIN.
