What transmission is in a 2016 Sentra?
The 2016 Sentra used the 1.8L MRA8DE four-cylinder. Match the CVT part number, because calibration can differ by trim.
| Engine | Transmission | Before you request a replacement |
|---|---|---|
| 1.8L 4-cylinder (MRA8DE) | CVT · S, SV, SR, SL | The most common setup. Match the CVT part number. |
| 1.8L 4-cylinder (MRA8DE) | 6-speed manual · S | A manual gearbox, not a CVT. Tell us if yours is manual. |
The SR Turbo, with a different engine, arrived for 2017. Sources: Nissan Sentra (Wikipedia).
Check for extended coverage
Nissan has extended CVT coverage on some models in the past. Ask a Nissan dealer whether anything still applies to your VIN before you pay for a replacement.
