Hi! I have a 2011 with 127K miles on original CVT. I am trying to make transition last as much as possible and it works well for most part only a little whine here and there. I tend to use cruise control a lot in highway, does the cruise control affects transmission or not?

Hello everyone! I just purchased a 2017 jeep patriot 2.0l with 107k mi I'm pretty sure the only trans option with the 2.0s was the CVT trannys. Everything is great except while driving without using autostick. It bogs down like crazy and almost feels like there is a misfire (no codes, I...

Does anyone know how much fluid it takes to , say, add 10mm on the Dorman dipstick? Not sure if it’s model specific , 2012 latitude 4wd 2.4l

I’ve had my 2017 high-altitude jeep patriot since October 2019. Everything that I look up is contradictory of my car. I have to autostick (R) automatic transmission but it is apparently only available on 2.4L models. make sure that this question has been asked on him so many times it’s probably...

Hi all, I have a 2011 Pat sprt with close 125K miles, never had a transmission issue. Kept maintinance pretty good and to the bare minimum. Should I expect transmission to go out and quit soon? tic toc tic toc? Never done anything to transmission, not even fluid check/swap. Please write your...

Hello, I'm fairly convinced that I have either a bad rear electrical clutch or driveline module. I purchased a very abused Jeep Patriot 2008 for a few hundred bucks and I noticed that the rear differential had a leak. It had obviously been driven with almost no fluid and it looked very black...

Hi guys, I’m new here. My husband has a 2012 Jeep Patriot that has been sitting for about a month with a shot transmission. It’s the CVT trans and we’re in search for a new one. Does anyone have links to websites for remanufactured or new/never used transmissions? Our budget is $4,000.

I am having the CVT trans. issues on my 08, can I get a non-cvt trans. from the 2014 or later Patriot and install it on mine?

Hello, I would appreciate any input on the issue I'm having on my 2016 Patriot CVT ~60K Miles. There is a vibration that is felt when under medium/heavy load. Once I let go of the accelerator/pedal the noise stops (i.e. cruising speed). If I slightly accelerate at full highway speed I do not...

Well, bought a 09 Patriot for very cheap with 203,000 miles and I knew it had CVT transmission issues. The engine and transmission are clean and no leaks or seepage of any oil. I was shocked cause of how many miles are on it just dirt on the engine area. Bought the Patriot and drove it home and...

Hoping someone might be able to help me solve this mystery, my mechanic and I are struggling to track down the issue. I've seen a lot of similar problems posted but can't find anything with the same circumstances as me or a solution I haven't tried, please link if I've missed something...

How yall doin?! I've had an issue for about a year or so but it's gotten pretty bad, I have filled the cvt I dont know how many times and I thought it was the transmission oil pan that was leaking due to a bad gasket so I replaced the pan and gasket, however I think I found the problem, and I'm...

Been done to death but I cant find all info with links etc to know i'm on right track. Want to service the CVT (replace filters and fluid) also have seen this 4 ports CVT Transmission Oil Cooler, 2 for Engine Coolant 2 for CVT Fluid. 2 pipes for the inlet/outlet of coolant 2 pipes for the...

So, I bought this 08 Patriot 2.4 CVT with a bad transmission and had it fixed up back in May. The other day I did some rust proofing of the undercarriage before they start salting the roads, at the same time I discovered shiny areas underneath, something's leaking :S It had sprayed the CVT pan...

I've been working my way up to a CVT fluid change for my 2012 sport 2.4l. I bought a OBDlink sx USB cord that comes with the OBD wiz software, thinking I would be able to read transmission fluid temp, but that's not an option in the software. I asked my mechanic if I could bring it to his shop...

08 Patriot with about 110,000 miles looks like the trans is going out ... The engine uses a little oil other than that its in good shape We are trying to decide if we should buy a used trans, have this one rebuild or replace with a remanufactured. All ideas welcome plus any help in the Houston...

I'm all set to buy everything I need to service my 2015 patriots "CVT" transmission only to find out I don't have a CVT trans! I heard/read NO DIPSTICK equals a CVT transmission. At the very LAST moment, I believe it was sandstone who says he thinks the 6AT doesn't have a tranny dipstick...
