A new transmission for a 2015 Nissan Rogue (CVT) typically costs about $3,500 to $6,000 installed, depending on whether you choose an OEM unit, a remanufactured CVT, or an aftermarket option, plus local labor rates.
The Rogue uses a continuously variable transmission (Xtronic CVT) that can fail from wear, overheating, or related sensor issues. Replacing it may involve several options—new OEM from a dealer, remanufactured units, or reputable aftermarket CVTs—and labor times vary by shop. Additional components such as a cooling system upgrade, sensors, or software updates can also influence the final price.
Cost options and what affects price
Here are typical pricing ranges based on common options available for this model, noting that actual quotes vary by region and shop.
OEM, remanufactured, and aftermarket CVTs
- New OEM Nissan CVT (dealer-sourced) price range: typically around $3,500 to $5,500 for the part; installation adds roughly $800 to $1,500.
- Remanufactured CVT (rebuilt by a third party or Nissan-approved remanufacturer) price range: about $2,800 to $4,500 for the part; installation, fluids, and incidental labor usually $700 to $1,500.
- Aftermarket or refurbished CVT from third-party suppliers: roughly $2,500 to $4,000 for the part; installed price often $900 to $1,600 depending on the shop and region.
Labor costs and regional rates can dramatically affect total price. Some shops quote all-inclusive prices, others bill parts and labor separately.
Getting a precise quote
Use this approach to ensure you get accurate pricing and a reliable repair.
- Contact multiple shops: at least two independent shops and a Nissan dealer for OEM pricing. Request a written estimate that itemizes parts, labor, fluids, taxes, and any disposal fees.
- Ask specifically for options: new OEM CVT, remanufactured CVT, and reputable aftermarket CVT. Inquire about warranty terms on the transmission and labor.
- Ask about required ancillary work: new cooler lines, sensors, seals, software updates or flushes, and whether transmission fluid is included in the price.
- Check the shop’s reputation and turnaround time. Look for reviews and ask about their CVT installation experience with the Rogue.
After collecting quotes, compare the total installed price, warranty coverage, and shop credentials to make a decision.
Summary
Replacing a 2015 Nissan Rogue CVT is a significant expense. Expect installed prices in the general range of about $3,500 to $6,000, with variations based on OEM vs remanufactured vs aftermarket units and labor rates. Always obtain multiple written quotes, verify warranty terms, and factor in any additional parts or services needed. If you’re in a high-cost region, prices may be higher; in lower-cost areas, they may be lower. Check for any applicable recalls or extended warranty coverage that could affect cost.
