Car started to shudder a little when driving under thirty five mph. I stopped at a stop light and when light turned green I pressed the gas, the car revved up but would not budge. I tried to put it in reverse and the "manual" mode but no luck. I have been told this might be a bad CVT transmission or some internal transmission issues but want to make sure before I start saving up the $2,000.00 to $3,000.00 to get a new/or rebuild. It has been sitting all week and also is now making a ticking noise when I rev it up. No check engine light or anything came up. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Run a scan on the transmission as some code will not set a check light, ensure that the transmission oil is full and not burnt. To start lets run the codes to see what come up. Here is a guide. It sounds like a transmission shaft speed sensor can be out.

It could have shaft speed sensor that has gone out.

I just had the exact same problem with my 2009 Nissan Rogue. No alerts on dash. Felt it missing. Pulled right over. From there, it would not drive or reverse. So I installed a input shaft speeds sensor and it worked. Here is the sensor I replaced (below).

Hi Guy,

Need help.

The car will not move. When I shut off and then turn on the car move and then no gear or power.

These symbol VDC ABD Anti slip symbol with a slippy car goes orange on the dash.

I have scanned p0720 and for your information just renew the valve block.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks, JP Lam

Hello.

This code is for the output speeds sensor issue which most of the time the sensor needs to be replaced here is a diagram of the location.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
