Repair question for 2015 Sentra 1.5 cvt
We have one of these cars and it’s making a whining noise and won’t go over \~50, can I just replace the variators and belt or will I need to go deeper (fresh fluid and filters too)

CMS rating questions
Hello r/uscg, myself and a few other non-rates are interested in learning a bit more about the actual day-to-day for CMS. My chief doesn’t know anything and our unit doesn’t currently have a CMC.
For a CMS:
What pay grade are you now and did you go through a-school or lateral?
What is your day to day like?
If you’re a senior enlisted, what does day to day look like for e4/e5?
How much of the job is “hacking” in a compromised system and is there any “hacking” of adversarial systems?
Do you learn to create an use exploits or is it mainly just utilizing systems from contracted companies like the domex kits?
What are the chances of being at a deployable unit vs just an office space
How rewarding is the work?

Nissan cvt question
Wife’s car is whining and won’t go over 50, can I just replace the variators and belt and flush the fluid and be fine? Don’t know much about these and if I have to go deeper to fix.

Nice or rice pt2
Enough of you pointed out my useless top mount so I tried to see if I have enough piping for a front mount. Turns out I do. Hopefully it holds pressure

Using 7th gen linkages on a 6th gen
Unable to find a new 6th gen linkage i decided to buy 7th gen (even used 6th gen are 300+ and the new 7th gen was 40) and they look like they are similar enough (going to try installing momentary).
I will report back with my accessible failure.
I have already had to cut the rubber holding the two together because the hole in the floor is different but I plan on moving it over from my old one
(Pictured is one damaged 6th gen linkage and two new 7th gens)
Update: it did not work, for two reasons
First: the place where the cable mounts to the transmission is other too thick/ the milled out bore isn’t big enough or the bit around the cable is too thick. I think it would be possible to put a cut down the middle of the mount on the transmission so you could slide the retaining tab but reaching in there with the car in the vehicle is impossible atleast as long as the head is on the engine
Second: the “side to side” cable is too long for the transmission , the inner cable is too long so you would have to notch out the suspension tower panel and weld a slightly longer arm on the transmission (or cut and weld the interior side of the cable guess)
That being said if these problems could be fixed then perhaps someone could start making adapted 7th gen cables for 6th gen owners since they are impossible to come by

S54 6th gen won’t shift into 2,4,R
Like the title says I am having trouble getting into any gear where I pull back on the lever. I’ve pulled apart the console and everything is good here it feels really mushy when I pull back. Shifting feel is the same with engine on and off, clutch is only a few thousand mile new so it’s nothing like that I think it’s cable or bushing related. Anyone have any experience with this?
