Hi,

I am from Sri Lanka and have a Fiat Punto MK2 1.2 16V ELX Speedgear CVT vehicle. Could anybody help me to find an alternative for Tutela Car CVT NG because there is no FIAT official agent here and no Petronas products. I am using Mobil 1000 for my engine and Nissan NS1 for gear box. But recently I got confused after reading cvt parts nz web site as they recommend to use Nissan NS2. I was unable to find the specs for Nissan NS1 and Nissan NS2 but for Tutela car CVT NG specs there is a similar product MOTUL MULTICVTF. Please help me to find the alternative.

Thanks.

PS - And thank you very much for the great community for sharing their knowledge, I have sorted out issues in my car by myself with the help of this and Haynes.

The gearbox was made in Japan and is the same as the Nissan Micra apart from calibration to match particular engines.
I don't know about the specific oils, but ideally you need to choose the spec to suit a Micra of the same age.

which nissan micra got same gearbox?

Thank you all. Yes as I googled the gear box is DLTC46FHJ1AA (Google this!). According to the autozine org web site "CVT with manual override (eg. Nissan M6 Hyper-CVT), Nissan, accompany with its partner Subaru (Fuji heavy industries) , is widely regarded as the leader in CVT technology, especially after it launched M6 Hyper-CVT in the Japanese Primera. M6 Hyper-CVT could be described as "the Tiptronic in the CVT world". Apart from fully auto mode like all CVTs, it provides a manual mode which simulates a 6-speed manual gearbox. Of course, in theory it can simulate more ratios, but no driver will ask for more than they can cope with. Even if you ignore this trick, it was still the most advanced CVT of its time. Mated with Primera's 2-litre dohc VVT engine, M6 Hyper-CVT handles 190 hp and 150 lbft, a record of its time. It also delivers decent smoothness and response, thanks to the use of torque converter (like automatic transmission) instead of conventional electromagnetic clutch.

Advantage: Much cheaper, lighter and smaller than automatic.

Disadvantage: In reality, no faster or more frugal than automatic. "Rubber band effect" ratio varying feels strange. Not really involving. Cannot cope with torquey engines.

Who use it ? Nissan Teana, Primera, March, Cube (M6 Hyper-CVT), Fiat Punto (Speed Gear), Subaru Pleo (I-CVT), Rover MGF (Steptronic), Honda Fit.... many.

Rubber band effect: when the accelerator pedal was pressed, conventional CVT immediately brings the rpm up to a high level. The engine put out its maximum performance with the corresponding level of noise but the car slowly catches up in acceleration. This gives one the feeling of a slipping clutch.

Do anybody have an idea about the gearbox oil please?

interesting
