A CVT transmission replacement for your 2012 Nissan Rogue costs between $5,400 and $6,400 when you factor in both parts and labor.
Here's the cost breakdown:
| Cost Component | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Remanufactured transmission (parts only) | $3,100 to $3,700 |
| Labor costs | $1,100 to $1,700 |
| Total installed cost | $5,400 to $6,400 |
Your total cost depends on where you get the work done. A dealer will charge more for labor but uses manufacturer-approved parts. Independent shops cost less overall but may use aftermarket parts.
Your transmission options:
Remanufactured transmissions ($3,100 to $3,700) are rebuilt units that work like new. They come with warranties covering parts and labor at most certified shops. Used transmissions cost around $2,400 to $2,600 but typically don't include a warranty.
Labor matters too:
Dealership labor runs $1,600 to $1,700 per hour, while independent shops charge $1,100 to $1,300 per hour. At your location (ZIP 32003), expect the repair to take 4 to 8 hours depending on your mechanic's experience.
Money-saving tips:
Get quotes from at least two shops before deciding. Ask if your warranty covers parts and labor after installation. Some remanufactured transmissions include nationwide coverage. If your transmission is just making noise but still shifts, a repair might cost less than $2,000. A proper diagnosis costs $100 to $200 but beats paying for a replacement you might not need.
The bigger picture:
With your Rogue at this mileage point, a transmission replacement is a major repair. But many owners report their Rogues run reliably for 150,000+ miles after getting a new transmission.
