I have the vehicle listed above Note S Plus, and I want to put a "new" transmission in it. Will transmissions from other years, and models of Versa's work for my Versa? Will transmissions from other years and models of Nissans work for my model car?

The Nissan CVT used in that car is a unique part RE0F11A in Nissans numbers JF015E in the Jatco system. They used a couple different versions but the one you have was used in late 2013 through early 2016 Versa's only. I will say that the CVT is one transmission that you do not want a used one as they are very prone to failure and if they set unused a while (like in a salvage yard) they tend to rust internally and need rebuilding before they can be used. The best option with them is to get a remanufactured unit through a dealer or if Jasper has one, then swap that into your car. They will send it back to Jatco to be rebuilt.

I've seen quite a few folks buy a CVT from a you pull it, do the swap and then have that one fail in a very short time. I'll actually refuse that simply because of all the failures.
